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 shades and window treatments for private residences, hospitality properties, and commercial environments. From expansive walls of glass to intimate spaces and specialty windows, every detail—from fabrics and hardware to architectural pockets, tracks, and controls—is considered together. The result is shading that complements the design when visible and remains beautifully discreet when not in use.
MOTORIZED SHADING
Designed to Disappear
Motorized shades offer remarkable flexibility in how they're incorporated into a space. Recessed ceiling pockets, concealed tracks, custom millwork, and carefully selected hardware allow window treatments to complement the architecture without competing with it. Whether fully open or drawn for privacy, every detail is considered as part of the overall design.
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 changes throughout the day, bringing different qualities to every space. Thoughtfully designed shading makes it possible to welcome that light, soften it, or create privacy as conditions and needs evolve.
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. SAV works alongside interior designers and architects to specify shading systems, fabrics, openness factors, hardware, and mounting solutions based on aesthetics, privacy, daylight, and the unique requirements of each window. We also offer premium solutions from manufacturers such as Lutron, including the Palladiom collection, where refined materials, precise engineering, and architectural integration are especially important.
-
Yes. Motorized shades can be integrated with lighting, climate control, and whole-home automation so different elements of the environment respond together. A single scene might lower shades, adjust lighting, and prepare a room for the evening, while automated schedules can manage daylight and privacy throughout the day.
-
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.
