The project
Buckhead, Atlanta.
A West Paces Ferry primary suite with floor-to-ceiling glass on the east wall. The homeowners wanted full UV control for morning sleep, view-preserving daytime light, and integration with the existing Lutron RA3 they already used for lighting. We specified dual-layer motorized rollers (a light-filtering screen plus a separate blackout) on Somfy motors, integrated into the existing Lutron system.
What we installed
Three details that made the install.
Dual-layer roller shades
Light-filtering screen for daytime view preservation; blackout layer for sleep. Each layer operates independently.
Somfy motors with Lutron RA3 integration
The shades respond to the same scenes the lighting does. Morning scene drops the blackout, raises the screen; goodnight does the inverse.
Wall switches and phone control
Hardwired pico switches at the bedside plus the existing RA3 app for control from anywhere in the house.
The decision behind it
Two shades on one window, because one cannot do both jobs.
A single fabric either preserves the view or blocks the sun. It cannot do both, so this opening carries two rollers on one bracket: a light-filtering screen for daytime and a separate blackout behind it for sleeping. Both run on Somfy motors and both answer the Lutron keypad the house already used for lighting, so nobody had to learn a second app.
Motors are the one product where we care most about who installs them. Limits drift, batteries die, and somebody has to come back for it. We do, because we are the ones who hung it. The integration options are laid out on our motorization page, and the local version of this job is motorized shades in Atlanta.
