Architect II - Customisable by design

An access control reader is one of the most visible elements of a security infrastructure. So why should it have to look like a standardized piece of technical equipment?

Corporate headquarters, hotels, retail stores, premium buildings, event spaces or public facilities: the reader is part of the environment in which it is installed. It is seen. Touched. Used every day. With Architect® II, the reader does more than control access. It becomes a true touchpoint between the building, the brand and its users. Its appearance, materials, lighting, sounds and even its behavior can be customized to create a unique experience.

This is Tailored by design.

Make it yours

The identity of a space is built through countless details. Architecture, furniture, signage, materials, lighting… every element contributes to creating a consistent experience. Access control can now be part of it too. With Architect® II, you can add your logo directly to the reader and customize its 14 individually controlled RGB LEDs as well as its keypad backlight. Brand colors, dedicated lighting scenarios and customized visual feedback allow the reader to naturally become part of a site’s visual identity. It is no longer simply about installing a security device.

It is about making it part of the environment.

Change the look, not the reader

What if your reader could evolve as easily as the environment around it? With interchangeable Smart Custom Covers, Architect® II can change its appearance without replacing the reader itself. Wood, leather, metal, carbon or stone effects, as well as fully customized graphics, make it possible to integrate the reader into a wide variety of architectural environments and design concepts. And customization does not have to be permanent. A special event? A communication campaign? An exhibition? A temporary space? Smart Custom Covers can introduce a specific design for a limited period before being easily changed again.

One reader. Multiple identities.

Beyond appearance, customize the experience

But Tailored by design goes much further than the reader’s physical appearance. Powered by embedded GraphCore™ intelligence, Architect® II can also customize the way the reader interacts with its users. Identification scenarios, customer-specific behaviors, light animations, sound feedback and tailored interactions can all be configured to address the requirements of a specific site, organization or use case. Organizations can therefore create an experience aligned with their identity and user journeys, from the moment a credential is presented to the final access confirmation.

The reader does not just change how it looks. It can change how it behaves.

When access control becomes an experience

Customization becomes even more powerful when it goes beyond aesthetics and contributes directly to the user experience. A specific lighting sequence can make an interaction more intuitive. Customized sound feedback can communicate information instantly. Tailored reader behavior can simplify a specific access journey. In environments where experience matters as much as security, the reader becomes a genuine touchpoint between the space, the brand and the user. It secures access while becoming part of the identity of the space.

Security, design and user experience no longer have to be separate considerations.

One reader. Endless identities.

An access control reader no longer needs to be a standardized technical device that architects and designers try to hide. It can become an integral part of the architecture, extend a brand identity and help create a distinctive user experience. Logos, colors, lighting, materials, graphics, sounds, identification scenarios and reader behaviors: Architect® II offers multiple ways to create a reader that truly reflects your identity. Because every building is different. Because every brand has its own identity.

And your reader can have one too.

Your brand. Your experience. Your reader.

Customizable by design.
