Welcome to Avocet Tower
Your window to wellness
Designed with tenant health and wellness at the forefront, Avocet Tower features floor-to-ceiling View Smart Windows throughout. The windows use artificial intelligence to automatically adjust in response to the sun in order to increase access to natural light and provide unobstructed 360-degree views, while eliminating the need for blinds and minimizing heat and glare. Tenants at Avocet work in a comfortable, high-tech space, filled with natural light and views of DC and Maryland.

Predict. Respond. Enjoy.
View is more than a window. It is an intelligent, predictive system that chooses the right tint at the right time so everyone in the building can enjoy views and daylight without lifting a finger.

Blinds - a dirty little secret.
In buildings with traditional windows and shades, there is an increased chance of transmission of germs and viruses due to repeated touching of blinds by multiple individuals. Internal shades collect dirt and dust you can see, and host bacteria and viruses you cannot see.
View eliminates dust and germ-free shades and blinds, reducing occupants' exposure to potential pathogens to create a healthy, clean space where employees can thrive.
Shades
- Shades, a ‘fomite’ hosts bacteria and viruses
- Up and down movement re-suspends airborne pathogens
- Physical contact and proximity increases risk of infections
View Smart Glass
- View Smart Glass eliminates shades
- No moving parts
- Access to daylight reduces viability of some pathogens
