This sounds very nice, but how do you demarcate the solar space when you 
have only one giant room?  The description sounds sort of like you 
actually, physically have a semi-enclosed space adjacent to your main 
room, and I think that's a pretty rare situation?  

Or is that just the effect you strive to create?  If it's the effect, 
what do you do for "walls" (not just furnishings) and how do you  control 
sound pollution (sic) from the main activities, or do people just "think  
Japanese" re sound (I am acculturated to "not hear" what's on the other 
side of the paper wall, so it doesn't bother me) and use their 
imaginations and the furnishings to psychologically isolate themselves 
from the larger space?
