In this Bethany Beach home overlooking the ocean, we focused on creating custom window treatments that seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetics. Every design emphasizes preserving the stunning coastal views while effectively taming the intense sunlight that floods the space. For the large window wall and arch window that serve as focal points, we opted for lightweight, sheer fabrics that offer privacy and light control without obstructing the ocean view. Automated roller shades, that disappear into their unobtrusive headrails, provide versatility for those sun-soaked afternoons, allowing homeowners to enjoy both the natural light and breathtaking scenery. Woven Wood Shades in many of the rooms add a warm, natural layer as well as privacy and light dimming for sleeping. The overall palette created by Interior Designers at Purple Cherry Architects reflects the serene coastal setting, incorporating soft blues and sandy neutrals to enhance this home’s tranquil ambiance.

We transform this space into a serene oasis with our custom window treatment designed to combat intense heat and create a calming atmosphere. By combining light filtering roller shades with blackout roman shades on the front, we provided for the perfect balance of natural light and privacy control. The light filtering roller shades gently diffuse sunlight, allowing a soft, warm glow to fill the room while reducing glare and UV exposure. This feature helps to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature by blocking out excess heat, without compromising on the beauty of natural light. On the exterior, the blackout roman shades in a serene white hue offer maximum light blockage, ensuring complete darkness for a restful night's sleep or a cozy afternoon nap. These shades not only enhance the privacy but also provide excellent insulation, keeping the space cool and comfortable during hot summer days. With our calming white color scheme, you can create a tranquil and inviting ambiance that promotes relaxation and rejuvenation. Let our window treatment project be the perfect solution to enhance your living space while providing relief from the harsh effects of intense heat.

Northern Michigan is the ultimate getaway destination with serene views and abundance of outdoor recreation. This remote Up North house offers nothing short of that. With the nearest major town almost 45 minutes away, it was essential this vacation home offered all the amenities for entertainment and relaxation. Spire worked with the client to create the perfect lake house retreat with comfort and convenience during any season or weather. The living room with an attached game room is a versatile space that offers endless entertainment. A 65” TV was installed over the fireplace in the custom stone wall. The adjustable mount allows the TV to lower for comfortable viewing from either the couch or pool table. A pair of Meridian Audio DSP7200 custom color matched speakers equipped with a Meridian Audio 218 digital controller were strategically installed on each side of the fireplace. The floor-standing speakers compliment the natural stone while providing astonishingly life-like sound, perfect for streaming live concerts. The powerful audio extends to the upper level of the home. Spire installed B&W 700 series bookshelf speakers in the executive office and a Triad custom speaker bar in the master bedroom. These speakers are ideal for smaller rooms, while elevating the TV experience. The large living room windows offer beautiful lake views and ample lighting. Lutron Palladiom shades were installed to easily control the natural light in the living room, master bedroom and bathroom. They are custom designed and fully automated to let in the morning sun or achieve partial shading or complete privacy. Whether set on a schedule or controlled from an iPad, the shades operate quietly and seamlessly. The technology was designed to be enjoyed just as much indoors as outdoors. With the whole home audio system, high-quality sound can flow throughout the indoor rooms as well as the outdoor patio. While the location may be remote, Spire ensured the WiFi and network connection is strong both throughout the yard and inside the home. A Lutron HomeWorks QS system integrates the control of all the interior and exterior lighting including motion sensing for the exterior pathway. Since this is not a permanent residence, a control and security system was very important. A personalized Savant system was integrated for full home control of lighting, climate, entertainment and security from anywhere with a smart device . This includes the ability to control the multiple landscape light zones with timed scenes. The Doorbird cameras and chimes with the integration of camera feeds into the Savant Control provides remote communication with visitors at any of the exterior doors. Remote access also allows rebooting of all essential systems from any location.

Lavender, along with gravel, basalt and other native plantings add to the beautiful cool color palette, enhancing the architectural design while providing for a drought-tolerant and low-maintenance front yard.
