Need insight on shades for Chicago condo

8 years ago
We recently moved into a Chicago high rise condo and are looking to replace the blinds.

The condo is all about the view and most solar shades we've had are some type of fabric filter and we really dislike then. They make looking outside feel like you have cataracts.

The unit currently has very old filters and we like this idea much more because it preserves the view.

I’m having a very difficult time finding options that aren’t fabric based cataract style solar shades.

Ideally, we would like to have:

1) a set of dual blinds: translucent filter and blackout blinds.
2) motorized
3) compatible with Alexa and can be programmed
4) able to accommodate diagonal openings (see pic)

Thanks for offering any insight and experience.
