Windows have been central to building design for centuries. At their best, they deliver light and connect people to the world outside. But they also come with some unwanted extras. Namely, glare and heat. Conventional solutions to these problems—blinds and external shades, massive air conditioning systems—complicate building design and limit the greatest value a window has to offer. The view. We built a product that eliminates these obstacles and creates an entirely new set of design possibilities.
Intelligent Windows = More Possibility
With built-in intelligence, View Dynamic GlassTM automatically transitions between clear and variable tint, providing control over the amount of light and heat entering a building. In all conditions, View GlassTM remains transparent, keeping you connected to the outside world. It’s a simple idea. But one that will revolutionize the way we build.
A stunning view blocked by blinds or marred by glare is not really a view at all. View Dynamic GlassTM allows you to look at—and be inspired by—your view 24 hours a day.
