Natatoriums, or indoor pool enclosures, offer the luxury of year-round swimming. With the enhancement of skylights or glass roof components, these swimming pool enclosures can also offer the feel of an outdoor escape!
This Newton, MA residence boasts a breathtaking pool enclosure thanks to a collaboration between Sunspace Design and Combined Energy Systems (CES). Sunspace Design brought our glass construction expertise to the fore by engineering and installing the project's centerpiece: large custom skylights, each spanning an impressive 11' by 14'.
Triple-glazed safety glass was framed with warm Douglas fir and finished with gleaming copper caps and flashing to ensure both beauty and enduring performance in each skylight unit. Our skylights bathe the interior in natural light, creating an airy and rejuvenating atmosphere. Rows of windows add to the open feeling.
Adding a pool enclosure extends the swim season, transforming your pool from a summer-only retreat into a year-round amenity. A quality enclosure also offers protection from the elements, minimizes debris and insect intrusion, and can significantly reduce pool maintenance needs.

Custom built-in reef aquarium designed and installed within a contemporary Jersey Shore penthouse residence.
The aquarium was integrated directly into the architectural layout of the living space to create a clean modern focal point while maintaining open sightlines and long-term accessibility for service and maintenance.
Projects like this require detailed planning between aquarium design, cabinetry integration, plumbing layout, lighting coordination, and overall installation logistics long before fabrication and installation begin.
The system includes remote filtration and life support equipment located separately from the main display aquarium to reduce equipment visibility, improve serviceability, and maintain a cleaner overall presentation within the living space.

This project focused on creating a clean, ultra low maintenance outdoor environment that seamlessly builds upon the home’s recent remodel. The rear yard was thoughtfully expanded by incorporating a previously unused and vacated easement area, allowing us to extend the usable space by nearly ten feet and significantly improve overall flow and functionality. The design emphasizes simple lines, durable materials, and low water plantings for long term ease of care. In the front yard, we refreshed the landscape with new planting and replaced inconsistent lawn areas with a stable rock ground cover, creating a more polished look with greater durability and reduced upkeep.

We at ABC Blind & Drapery work hard to update our website with all of our latest products and projects so that you can make decisions from the comfort of your own home.

This is also where customers are able to drop off any products that need repair, as we are able handle typical repairs such as restrings or replacement of cord-locks.
In our showroom you will be able to see some of our retractable options in action, a variety of our products installed as examples, as well as browse through our numerous sample books. We especially like to show folks the power of solar shades and how they are able to dramatically reduce damaging UV rays and heat from the Texas sun, while maintaining control over the amount of light allowed in. It is within this space that customers are able to meet with a designer and truly imagine the possibilities, as the options are endless.

Blau-Thompson Residence
This Civil War era, 1680-square-foot three-story row house is located in the Italian Market section of Philadelphia. The BluPath Design principals and their young child were the clients. The project goal was to upgrade a traditional housing type to meet a contemporary lifestyle, applying both sustainable criteria and clean, modern yet sensual aesthetics. The challenge of the property (only 830 square feet in lot size) was to create a design that was small, but smart.
The structure formerly housed a luncheonette with two apartments above. The interior was gutted and renovated into a single family home. The construction of a small rear addition added a new kitchen on the first floor and new bathrooms on the second and third levels. The east-west orientation of the home was ideal for the roof-mounted solar collectors, which were installed to provide domestic hot water and supplement the new radiant floor heating system. Exterior sensors improve the efficiency of the heating system's response to fluctuations in outside temperature. A new white-coated, rubber membrane roof reduced the structure's heat gain by 20 percent. A water catch system collects rainwater and air conditioner condensation to water the home's small rear garden.
Large windows and skylights bring light deep into the row house and reduce the use of light fixtures. The rear yard garden features ipe decking (a dense, water-repellent hardwood) on permeable compacted gravel to minimize storm water runoff. BluPath Design’s principals used the project to demonstrate how sustainability can be integrated with beauty and function, with sensual materials and colors, well-proportioned and light-filled rooms, economic use of space, and thoughtful details. Cherry flooring and custom stairs complement the Indian slate tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features custom walnut cabinets with blue granite counters and backsplashes. The first floor dining area is illuminated by a BluPath-designed fiber-optic chandelier. Ipe hardwood is also used for the master bath tub-surround and shower floor. Sliding frosted glass panels separating the master bath from other living areas allows light from the corner windows to naturally illuminate the adjacent room.

Our Senergy360 technicians use professional-grade electromagnetic field (EMF) testing equipment to detect and measure sources of electromagnetic radiation in your home. The sleek handheld meter features a digital display showing precise EMF readings in milligauss (mG) and a color-coded indicator system for easy interpretation. Its ergonomic design includes an extending probe for reaching tight spaces and testing specific areas of concern.
The device captures both AC and DC magnetic fields, electric fields, and radio frequency radiation, providing comprehensive electromagnetic exposure data. With calibrated sensors and advanced filtering technology, our equipment delivers accurate measurements that help identify potential EMF hotspots from sources like electrical panels, smart meters, WiFi routers, and household appliances.
This professional testing equipment allows our certified inspectors to create detailed EMF exposure maps of your living spaces and recommend evidence-based solutions for reducing electromagnetic radiation levels in your home.

Luxury custom reef aquarium integrated directly into the shower and bathroom design of this contemporary oceanfront residence.
The aquarium was designed to function as both a living reef ecosystem and an architectural focal point within the bathroom environment while maintaining clean integration with the surrounding millwork, lighting, and structural design of the space.
Projects like this require detailed coordination between aquarium design, waterproofing systems, plumbing integration, lighting, ventilation, cabinetry, and long-term maintenance accessibility long before installation begins.
The system includes remote life support and filtration equipment located separately from the display aquarium to reduce equipment visibility and maintain a clean modern presentation within the bathroom space.

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.
