What we solve
Six problems every Silicon Valley workplace fights — and the shading systems we engineer to end them.
02
Curtain-Wall Heat Gain
Floor-to-ceiling glass turns west exposures into ovens by 3 PM. Automated shading sheds solar load before it ever reaches your HVAC — and your energy bill.
03
Daylight Harvesting at Scale
Shades that track the sun across hundreds of openings — BMS-connected via Lutron Athena, Crestron, or Somfy animeo IP for centralized floor-by-floor control.
04
Corporate HQ Interiors
Design-forward roller and panel shade systems for Cupertino and Menlo Park headquarters — fabric selections coordinated with interior architects and workplace designers.
05
Data Center & AV Blackout
Blackout and light-blocking shade solutions for server rooms and AV-sensitive environments throughout the South Bay — cord-free, RF-controlled.
06
Phased TI Build-Outs
Sub-contractor coordination for Silicon Valley tenant-improvement projects — CSI MasterFormat specs, shop drawings, and certified submittals delivered on the GC's schedule.
Automation & BMS Integration
Your shades shouldn’t be a separate system. We integrate motorized shades with the platforms your building already runs — and we’re fluent in BACnet and KNX, so your shades talk to your building, not past it.
Lutron Athena
Certified Integrator
Athena, QS Wireless, and RadioRA 3 systems deployed across major tech campuses — daylight-harvesting scenes, solar-position scheduling, and centralized control from one processor.
Crestron
Whole-Campus AV + Shading
Shades on the same backbone as your conference rooms — scene control from the touchpanels, keypads, and apps your teams already use every day.
Somfy animeo IP
IP-Native Automation
Networked shade automation with sun-tracking schedules and zone-level logic — engineered for large multi-elevation facades and phased occupancies.

How a campus rollout runs
A GC-grade process refined over 26 years of commercial subcontracting — built for phased occupancies and hard move-in dates.
Step 1: Walkthrough & Measure
We field-verify every opening ourselves — DLO dimensions, mounting conditions, and power availability across each floor.
Step 2: Spec & Budget
Division 12 specifications, fabric and openness recommendations, and budget pricing aligned to your TI schedule.
Step 3: Submittals & Samples
Shop drawings, fabric swatches, NFPA 701 certifications, and Title 24 documentation packaged for AOR review.
Step 4: Phased Installation
Floor-by-floor delivery coordinated with the GC — after-hours crews and freight-elevator scheduling when occupancy demands it.
Step 5: Commissioning & Service
Scene programming, BMS handoff, punch walk, and an ongoing service program with priority response.
