Floor-to-ceiling windows in a luxury home with controlled natural light
Automated Shades

Control Light, Privacy, and Comfort

Enjoy natural light, privacy, and comfort with window treatments that respond to your home and daily routine.

Beyond the roller shade

Window treatments, designed as part of the room

Automated shading can be tailored to the architecture and the interior design — from a quiet roller shade to full-height drapery or a one-of-a-kind specialty treatment.

Roller Shades

A refined everyday solution for large windows, bedrooms, and gathering spaces. Choose solar, sheer, or blackout fabrics to balance the view, privacy, glare, and comfort.

Drapes

Full-height drapery adds softness, scale, and texture while automated tracks make opening and closing effortless. Drapes can join the same scenes and schedules as the rest of the home.

Every treatment can be coordinated with lighting levels, climate response, schedules, scenes, and home modes — so the window covering feels like part of the home, not a separate device.

Everyday Life

What This Looks Like Every Day

Morning

Bedroom blackout shades or drapes rise gradually with your alarm, flooding the room with natural light. East-facing windows in other rooms have already adjusted to reduce glare before you arrive.

Afternoon

Solar shades on the west side of the home lower automatically as the sun shifts, cutting glare and reducing heat gain without blocking your view of the landscape.

Movie Night

Media room shades close fully as part of the theater scene. Ambient light in the room drops to zero before the movie begins — without anyone walking to a wall and manually adjusting.

Privacy at Night

Shades throughout the home lower automatically at sunset or on a schedule. You're visible from outside only when you choose to be.

Away From Home

Shades follow a randomized schedule while you travel, providing the appearance of normal activity and reducing solar heat gain in an unoccupied home.

New Construction

Coordinate shade pockets, power, and supports before drywall. Early planning keeps the finished installation discreet.

  • Power at every shade location planned before framing closes
  • Shade pocket dimensions specified for motor and fabric stack
  • Low-voltage control wiring run alongside electrical
  • Coordination with interior designer on fabric selection and finish
  • Exterior and patio shade locations reviewed with builder

Remodels & Existing Homes

Remodels and Existing Homes

Wired or battery-powered options may suit an existing home. We review each opening and recommend the cleanest practical approach.

Design & Aesthetics

Design and Aesthetic Considerations

Your designer guides fabric and finish selections; we coordinate motors, clearances, and controls. The treatment should look intentional, open or closed.
