Smart Glass LAX Office Inglewood — Lounge-to-Office Partition Wall
In 2026, we installed a switchable smart glass partition for a commercial client at their LAX-adjacent facility in Inglewood. The install was a multi-panel switchable glass partition — five vertical panels running the full width of the wall — separating a public-facing lounge from the open office behind it. A door at one end of the partition matches the same switchable glass treatment. Total switchable surface: 75 sq ft.
The lounge sits at the front of the facility, where clients and visitors gather before being escorted to working areas. The space needed to feel open and connected when the office wanted to project transparency, and visually closed when meetings or sensitive operations were happening behind it. A standard drywall partition was off the table — it would have killed the daylight and made the lounge feel like a holding pen.
The Problem
The client needed a single wall to do two opposite jobs. When visitors arrive, the lounge should feel like a natural extension of the office — bright, open, and welcoming, with daylight from the workspace carrying through to the front of the building. But the moment a meeting starts or sensitive work is underway behind the partition, that same wall needs to close off the view completely, without anyone leaving the room or rearranging furniture.
Conventional options all failed one side of that requirement. A drywall partition would permanently block sightlines and daylight, turning the lounge into an enclosed waiting room. Plain glass would keep the space open but offer no privacy on demand. Blinds or curtains across five full-height panels and a door would look cluttered, need constant manual adjustment, and rarely seal the view cleanly. The client wanted one continuous surface that could switch between fully transparent and fully private at the tap of a control.
The Solution — smart glass LAX office Inglewood install
For this install, we applied PDLC switchable smart film to all five wall panels plus the adjacent door, wired through a single transformer configured to switch the entire run as one circuit. Control is handled by remote so one button toggles the full wall and door together.

The Outcome
The smart glass LAX office Inglewood result is a partition wall that reads as one continuous surface in both states. Clear when the team wants the lounge to feel like an extension of the office — connected, open, daylight-shared. Frosted the moment meetings or operations in the office shouldn’t be visible from the waiting area. Five panels switch in unison, the door matches the wall, and the lounge keeps its open feel without ever giving up the ability to close off.
