Public Spaces
Control visibility in customer-facing environments
Public spaces are designed to engage, inform, and inspire.
Visibility influences how visitors interact with a space, experience a brand, and navigate their surroundings.
PriWatt transforms glass into a controllable architectural surface, allowing instant transitions between transparency and privacy without interrupting the environment or adding mechanical systems.
From retail storefronts to immersive brand experiences, PriWatt enables spaces to adapt in real time while maintaining clean architectural integration.
No mechanical systems. No additional assemblies. Fully integrated into the architecture.
