You need a blind?

I still remember the time when I first moved into this new office building a few years ago, windows are from ceiling to the floor, and they are everywhere: both sides of the walls, both wings of the building. We could have direct sunbathing at day time and nice night view during night time. It made our office looked brighter and wider no doubt of that, but the problem is, when it's too bright, it affects our eyesight because we are looking at our computer monitors all the time.

Later on, blinds are set on the walls. As it just blocks some of the bright daylight from the window, we feel more comfortable when working with our computers, and at the same time, we won't feel stuffy and still able to see the view out to the building through the blinds. I'm glad that they use the blinds instead of windows or curtains which will either block all or none of views from outside. Also, blinds are easier to clean and maintain.

There is only one thing that I think is not perfect, which is blinds may not be suitable in a meeting room as we are quite difficult to look at the projected screen even with the blinds pulled down. However I think it's just we need to choose a different blinds which is suitable to be used in a meeting room.
