Confused -- exterior horizontal slats on windows -- modern home

10 years ago

Our architect wants to put exterior horizontal slats on several large windows (1 bedroom & 2 baths) in the front of the house. He likes them for design element and privacy. Even if I'm on board with the design (not sure), I'm not sure I would want something that I could not move up and down depending on how much light I want in the rooms. Since the windows face front, I suppose that I would need interior blinds, and it is true that they would likely stay down most of the time. Have any of you actually seen these? What do you think? They would be something like this, but angled for privacy
