LIGHT, BEAUTIFULLY MANAGED
Frame the View
Windows connect a space to its surroundings, bringing in daylight, changing views, and a sense of openness. The right shading should preserve that connection while providing effortless control over light, privacy, glare, and comfort.
SAV designs and integrates motorized shading and window treatments for private residences, hospitality properties, and commercial environments. From expansive walls of glass to intimate spaces and challenging specialty windows, fabrics, hardware, pockets, tracks, and controls are considered together so shades feel intentional when visible and nearly disappear when they're not.
MOTORIZED SHADING
Designed to Disappear
The most thoughtfully integrated technology often goes unnoticed. Motorized shades can be recessed into ceilings, concealed within architectural pockets, or integrated into custom millwork, preserving clean lines and allowing the architecture to take center stage.
SAV works alongside architects, interior designers, and builders to consider every detail—from fabric selection and hardware to shade pockets, mounting conditions, and precise alignment. The result is effortless control over daylight, privacy, and comfort, with technology that reveals itself only when needed.
DAYLIGHT + COMFORT
Responsive to the Day
Natural light is constantly changing. Thoughtfully designed shading allows a home to change with it.
Automated shades can respond to time of day, sun exposure, privacy needs, and the way individual spaces are used—reducing glare and solar heat gain while protecting interiors, artwork, furnishings, and finishes from excessive sunlight. When coordinated with architectural lighting, shades also help balance natural and electric light throughout the day.
The experience is simple: more daylight when you want it, greater privacy when you need it, and fewer reasons to think about either.
DESIGN-BUILD COLLABORATION
Considered from the Beginning
Beautiful window treatments depend on far more than selecting a fabric. SAV collaborates with architects, interior designers, builders, electricians, window manufacturers, millworkers, and other craftspeople to coordinate the details that allow shading to become part of the finished architecture.
Our involvement can include system design, fabric and hardware specification, pocket and track coordination, power requirements, control integration, and custom solutions for unique architectural conditions.
When the details are considered early, the shade becomes part of the design—not an addition to it.
-
Motorization makes it possible to manage individual shades, entire rooms, or the whole home with a touch—or automatically throughout the day. It also eliminates cords and makes large, tall, or difficult-to-reach windows significantly easier to manage.
-
Ideally, during the architectural or interior design phase. Early involvement allows us to coordinate recessed pockets, power, framing, tracks, window conditions, and other details before construction reaches the point where options become limited.
-
Yes. We can work alongside the interior design team to specify shading systems, fabrics, openness factors, hardware, and mounting approaches based on aesthetics, privacy, daylight, performance, and the requirements of each window.
-
Yes. Shading can be integrated with lighting, climate, and whole-home control so multiple elements of the environment work together. A single scene might lower shades, adjust the lighting, and prepare a room for evening without requiring separate controls
-
In many projects, yes. With proper planning, roller shades can retract into recessed architectural pockets and drapery tracks can be carefully integrated into ceiling conditions. The exact approach depends on the architecture, window construction, and selected shading system.
-
Yes. SAV designs and integrates motorized shading solutions for hotels, resorts, private clubs, and other hospitality environments. From individual guest rooms and suites to restaurants, lounges, and shared spaces, our systems provide intuitive control over daylight, privacy, glare, and comfort. We coordinate fabrics, hardware, controls, and architectural details to create a consistent experience throughout the property while complementing the interior design.
