Hospitality Drapery Program with NFPA 701 Compliance — a design project in Beverly Hills, CA. The studio's specification practice in design intent, fabric, hardware, fullness, and installation, written from Olga's perspective.

The Brief

An 84-room boutique hotel refurbishment with three room types, an aggressive opening schedule, and a brand standard requiring true blackout for sleep, daytime sheer for view, and inherent-FR fabric for life-safety code.

The Design Response

Standardized dual-layer program across all 84 rooms: inherent-FR performance sheer outboard, three-pass blackout drapery inboard. Both manually drawn from a single wand control to keep maintenance simple over a decade of guest use.

Materials & Performance

Inherent NFPA 701 FR sheer in three tonal variations matched to the three room palettes. Inboard: FR-treated three-pass blackout in matching tones. Inherent FR specified over topical treatments because hospitality fabric is laundered or replaced on a schedule that compromises topical treatments within two years.

Hospitality-grade traverse tracks with reinforced wand mechanisms rated for 50,000+ cycles. Centered control wands rather than cord systems to meet hospitality safety standards for guest rooms.

Eighty-four rooms fabricated to a single specification with three palette variations. Installed on the hotel's overnight schedule over six weeks, room by room, never closing more than four rooms at a time.

The Result

Brand-compliant blackout in every room measured at <0.5 lux at the bedside, FR compliance documented for the local fire marshal, single-specification fabric simplifying long-term replacement. My recommendation for hospitality: standardize the system, vary only the palette. Custom-per-room is a maintenance debt the operator will inherit.

The reasoning behind this work

The decisions behind this project — how the room was read, what the drapery was asked to do, and why each specification was chosen — follow the same written method the studio applies to every commission.
