Custom motorized shades in Studio City

Shades in Studio City homes

Above Ventura, toward Fryman and Laurel Canyon, houses are built into slope. That produces double-height living rooms, clerestory glass above kitchens and stairwell windows twenty feet up. A shade on a chain in any of those positions will be pulled twice and then never touched again.

Below Ventura, in Colfax Meadows and the Silver Triangle, the stock is largely mid-century ranch — wide, low houses with long runs of glass across the back. Those are straightforward to measure but need consistency: eight windows in a row will show every eighth of an inch of variation if the shades are not cut to match.

Canyon light is its own problem. Morning is soft, afternoon is harsh and low, and in winter the sun angle drops enough to come straight under a deep eave that shades the window perfectly in June.

Tall windows are where motorization stops being a luxury

If a window needs a ladder, the shade on it will live in one position for years. On Studio City hillside glass we almost always recommend motorized, not as an upsell but because a manual shade in that location does not get used.
