Ideally I'd want to have a shade system with an R-factor that
approaches the R-factor of the wall. No small challenge. This will
probably require more than one shade, but this could be an
advantage. The shade closest to the window could be a light passing
shade while the inside-most shade would be light blocking and more
decorative.
Gee, if I moved to New Mexico do you think I'd find any neighbors
with papercrete experience? Gorgeous country, but the commute would
be a doozie!

use quilted fabric (even insert a layer of mylar in the middle if you
want) and attach the tapes to the back and the hardware along the top
of the window opening. It was a long time ago but I would think they
are still available. And I know of 2 lovely tracts of land for sale
in my neighborhood in Northern New Mexico. There's a lot of stuff on
the market here.

fold. Rings placed on the face at the location of the desired folds
will allow a cord to go from top to bottom for lifting the shade.
