Best Shading Application
Project: Kowalchuk
Integrator: Future Technologies
North River, New York, is a tiny hamlet near the Gore Mountain Ski Resort, the state’s largest. It’s tucked into the Adirondack Park region of New York, home to six million acres of mountains, rivers, lakes, and woodlands. This region of the Eastern US offers unparalleled views of nature and unspoiled beauty. This home was built with those views in mind, with expansive windows at the back of the home.
Of course, those big expanses of glass need the proper shading, and Crestron’s roller shades give the homeowner precise management of natural light and indoor temperature. The shades vanish into the home’s timber frame structure via Crestron’s ultra-quiet motors when they’re not being used, revealing a spectacular look at the surrounding wilderness. Those shades are just one part of an outstanding integration: “Crestron's comprehensive control, lighting, shading, and audio solutions have brought a new level of convenience and luxury to this Adirondack retreat,” says David Layton, the owner of Future Technologies.
