The Challenge

The client had a beautifully designed Manhattan apartment, but the lighting and shading systems didn't match the caliber of the space. Harsh sunlight created uncomfortable glare during the day. Manual shades were inconvenient and rarely adjusted. The lighting was inconsistent — too bright in some areas, too dim in others — and offered no way to create the kind of curated ambiance the interior design deserved.

Multiple switches on the wall added visual clutter and made control confusing. There was no centralized system, no automation, and no way to adjust lighting or shading with a single action. The goal was clear: create a clean, automated system that enhanced both comfort and aesthetics — without visible complexity.
