Custom drapery engineered for Lutron — Palladiom, Sivoia QS, RA3, HomeWorks, and Ketra. The studio specifies, fabricates, and commissions motorized drapery on the home’s existing Lutron program, so the panels arrive on the same keypads, the same app, and the same scenes as the lighting. Active Lutron drapery programs across Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Holmby Hills, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, and West Hollywood.
Lutron Palladiom and Sivoia QS handle roller shades all day long. Custom drapery is a different brief — weighted panels, pleated headings, hand-finished hems, and stack depth that has to be planned at framing. The motor is the easy part; the architecture around it is where Lutron drapery either reads as built-in or as an afterthought.
The studio specifies recessed ceiling pockets, beam-mounted runs, and concealed return brackets so the Palladiom or Sivoia track lives inside the room rather than on top of it. Pocket depth, drywall return, and structural blocking are dimensioned on a shop drawing the GC and integrator can build to before drywall closes.
A correctly specified Lutron DC motor is inaudible at three feet. The drapery is addressed on the home's QS or HomeWorks link as a native device — not bridged through a third-party hub — so scenes, schedules, and keypad presses move drapery with the same latency as lighting.
Drapery scenes belong on the same scene list as the lighting. The studio briefs with the Lutron lighting designer and integrator at design development, again before drywall, and a third time at commissioning — so the drapery program is part of the home's lighting story rather than an upgrade dropped in at finish trades.
The studio's default architectural shading platform for Lutron estates. Palladiom motors carry custom drapery on hidden ceiling tracks with reference-quality silence and a finished bracket profile clean enough to live exposed in modern interiors. Specified when the room is on HomeWorks or QSX and the architecture deserves the most refined hardware Lutron makes.
Sivoia QS is the workhorse for hardwired drapery on whole-house programs — addressed natively on the home's QS link, scened on existing keypads, and tied into the Lutron astronomical clock. QS Triathlon (battery) is the retrofit answer when wall-fishing is not feasible but the homeowner is committed to one Lutron app.
RA3 with Serena motorized drapery covers single-residence retrofits and additions where a full QS / HomeWorks deployment is not warranted. The drapery still rides on Lutron — same Pico keypads, same app, same scenes — but the system is sized to a residence rather than an estate.
On HomeWorks estates the drapery is one device class among many. The studio writes the program against the lighting designer's scene list (Morning, Day, Dine, Cinema, Night) so a single keypad press lands the room — light level, drapery position, and Ketra color temperature — in one quiet move.
Where Ketra natural-light tuning is specified, drapery becomes part of the daylight strategy rather than a separate system. Sheer panels modulate Ketra's circadian curve at midday; blackout panels close on the evening scene without changing the color temperature of the room.
The drapery scenes live on the keypads the homeowner already uses for lighting — Sunnata in modern interiors, seeTouch in traditional rooms, Pico for bedside and pantry. No second remote, no separate app, no parallel UI.
A private consultation with the studio principal and, where appropriate, the home’s Lutron lighting designer and integrator. Reviewed: the architecture, the existing Lutron program, conduit and pocket strategy, and the scene list the drapery will live on. By appointment, on-site or in the studio.
The studio’s canonical motorized drapery practice — Lutron, Somfy, Crestron, Savant, Control4.
Drapery commissioned alongside lighting, AV, and climate from framing forward.
How custom drapery and the “motorized curtains” brief relate.
Battery vs hardwired, ideal rooms, quietness, longevity.
Lutron drapery is governed by the same House of Drapery Method as every hand-drawn panel — architecture first, lifestyle second, function third, cloth last. The motor, the scene, and the keypad are the closing moves, not the starting point.
Begin with a private consultation. We will follow with a tailored proposal, fabric direction, and an honest opinion on what your room is asking for.
