I didn't imagine that you had that kind of luxurious space. ;~)
Even with that kind of space you'll have something a bit different  
than "window light."

you may actually find a more window like light by bouncing the  
strobes off the sheet.

In any event: have fun testing various methods and please report back  
your results.
