Ritz-Carlton Sunny Isles

A Showcase for Smart Lighting and Window Treatments

Project: Whole Space Automation

Provide whole space automation solution with automated window treatments (Lutron’s Sivoia’s shading system and other types of shades); surveillance cameras; a control interface for the pool’s water flow; temperature; an HVAC control, smart lights and a custom electric fireplace to a 8,000-square-foot $30-million penthouse suite at Ritz Carlton in Sunny Isles, Florida.

Challenge

Create a shading design that addresses the irregular height and oversized window areas, plus the overall circular architecture of the 13’ floor-to-ceiling penthouse.

Solutions

The whole space boasts a flawless, automated shade control system easily managed through an elegant control system, Lutron’s QS Palladiom Wallstation. Paired with a control system, we integrated Lutron HomeWorks with Control4’s audio-video system and other third-party systems for the full automation of the space. Lutron’s intelligent Hembar Alignment was used to provide alignment within 1/8”. Customized draperies and motorized drapery tracks were added to the Screening Room and Master Bedroom.

Other products installed and programmed made it easy for the homeowner to use his smart lighting and shades together, thanks to the integrated Sivoia QS and Lutron architectural keypads. The shading design simply took into account the exact layout of the lighting in various rooms, so that the warm-dim lighting technology intuitively enhances a person’s mood, seamlessly transitioning the interplay of lights with the window treatments.
