Oceanfront Mansion, Hillsboro Mile
Whole-home Lutron Sivoia QS wired shades on HomeWorks QS - one fabric across every wall of glass, blackout where it matters, installed by our own crew at Hillsboro Beach.
Every room, one system
Fifty-four seconds through the house: solar shades holding the glare off a wall of ocean, and the Luna blackouts rolling away to daylight - every shade wired, every room on one press.

One fabric, fourteen walls of glass
A private oceanfront mansion on Hillsboro Mile - the narrow strip of A1A where every room faces the Atlantic. Exotic supplied and installed Lutron Sivoia QS wired shades throughout, all running on the home's Lutron HomeWorks QS system: Basketweave 90 in Bright White at every opening for one continuous look, glare control, and a clear view to the water.
The bedrooms sleep dark. The primary suite pairs its Basketweave solar layer with a Luna White blackout in the same opening - a dual shade on two Sivoia QS drives behind a custom woodwork valance - view by day, true dark at night - and the second bedroom runs Luna White on its own. Every shade is hard-wired: no batteries, no RF drop-outs, one press on the keypad and the whole room answers.
Fourteen openings, one fabric, one system. The openness does the tuning - tighter weaves where the ocean and the pool throw the glare in, more open weaves on the shaded elevations - so the house reads as one gesture from the beach and from inside, with the shades driven from the HomeWorks keypads alongside the lighting. Measured, installed and commissioned by our own crew.

One white fabric, tuned by openness
One fabric in one colour across fourteen walls of glass, with the openness doing the tuning. Bright White is a reflective weave: at every openness it sends 62% to 72% of the sun's energy back out, which is why a white screen keeps an oceanfront room cooler than a charcoal one. The price of white is the view. Lutron rates Bright White at 1% view-through in the 1% weave and 47% in the 10% weave, so the ocean wall and the pool wall carry the tighter weaves for glare, and the shaded elevations the more open ones, where the view costs nothing in heat.
Bedrooms: Lutron Luna in White, a blackout roller fabric, 0% openness, nothing through. In the primary suite it shares the opening with the Basketweave layer: view by day, dark at night.
