Installed work from Miami to Palm Beach, Sarasota and the Caribbean: every photo with its location, the fabric we used and the system behind it.
No stock imagery. Each picture below was measured, sewn and installed by our own team: motorized roller shades, ripplefold sheers, blackout draperies and Lutron, Somfy and Crestron systems in South Florida homes, condos and villas.

Every one. Our team measured, our workroom sewed, and our own crew installed and programmed each project shown here.
Usually, yes. We name the fabric on each photo where the designer's schedule allows; bring the photo to your consultation and we bring the sample.
It depends on the home. Lutron for whole-home integration, Somfy for value and battery options, Crestron when your integrator already runs it. We explain the trade-offs on site.
Never. We show the building or the neighborhood only, and always with the owner's permission.
