Smart Window Coverings Designed Around Your Home
Motorized blinds and shades should complement the architecture of a mountain home, not compete with the windows and views that make it special. Integrated ArchiTech has served homeowners since 2017, designing indoor and outdoor shading solutions throughout Cashiers, Highlands, Sapphire, Lake Toxaway and surrounding Western North Carolina communities. We work with homeowners, builders, architects and interior designers to make natural light, privacy and window treatments part of the home from the beginning.
Our team designs and integrates roller shades, dual shades, blinds, drapery and outdoor motorized shades using professional solutions from Lutron, Crestron, Somfy and other leading manufacturers. From expansive walls of glass and hard-to-reach windows to bedrooms requiring complete darkness and covered outdoor spaces needing relief from sun and glare, each solution is selected around the architecture, view, fabric, exposure and way the space is actually used.
The result can be as simple as one quiet shade moving at the touch of a button or an entire residence responding automatically throughout the day. Window treatments can coordinate with lighting, climate and whole-home control, preserving the view when you want it while providing comfort and privacy when you don't.
Motorized Shade Service, Repair & Upgrades
An existing electric shade system doesn't always need to be replaced when something stops working. Motors, power supplies, controls, programming, batteries, and individual components can often be diagnosed or serviced while preserving the parts that are still performing properly.
Common Service Requests
✓ Shades that no longer raise or lower
✓ Remote, keypad, app, or programming problems
✓ Battery and power supply issues
✓ Window coverings that stop unevenly or lose alignment
Integrated ArchiTech can evaluate existing systems from Lutron, Crestron, Somfy, Hunter Douglas, Screen Innovations, Draper, and other manufacturers to determine what can be repaired, reprogrammed, integrated, or upgraded before recommending replacement.
Need help with motorized shades we didn't install?
We can troubleshoot and evaluate existing systems, with repair options dependent on equipment condition, parts availability, and manufacturer support.

Why Homeowners Choose Smart Shades
The right window treatments do more than cover the glass. They help manage the relationship between natural light, privacy, comfort, and the views that make a mountain home special.
Keep the View
Enjoy mountain views while managing direct sunlight and glare throughout the day. Shades disappear when not needed, then provide comfortable light control when needed.
Privacy After Sunset
Enjoy natural daylight without sacrificing privacy when evening arrives. One touch can adjust a single window, an entire room, or shades throughout the residence.
Protect the Interior
Direct sunlight can affect artwork, furnishings, flooring, and interior finishes. Automated shades help manage daily exposure while keeping beautiful rooms open and inviting.
Make Every Window Easy
Large, high, and hard-to-reach windows should not be difficult to use. Motorization makes dramatic walls of glass and architectural windows simple to control every day.
Window Treatments for Every Room
Different windows call for different solutions. The right treatment depends on the view, privacy, sunlight, window size, architecture, and character of the room. We select each system around how the window needs to look, feel, and perform.
Clean and architectural, roller shades diffuse glare and sunlight while preserving outward views. Sheer, solar, light-filtering, and room-darkening fabrics provide different levels of privacy and light control.
Two fabrics offer greater flexibility at one window. Pair a solar or light-filtering shade for comfortable daytime light with a room-darkening or blackout shade for privacy and calm after the sun has gone down.
A honeycomb construction provides a softer appearance while creating insulating air pockets at the window. Light-filtering and room-darkening materials make cellular shades ideal for bedrooms and living spaces.
Soft fabrics and tailored folds allow the window treatment to become part of the interior design. Materials, textures, and patterns can be coordinated with furnishings, finishes, and the architecture of a room.
Wood, faux wood, and sheer styles provide both privacy and adjustable light control. Motorization makes it simple to raise, lower, or tilt the blinds through the day without ever adjusting every window by hand.
From sheer panels to decorative and privacy fabrics, motorized drapery pairs traditional textiles with truly effortless control and creates a softer architectural finish around large windows and walls of glass.
Everything Behind a Great Movie
A private theater feels effortless when every part of the room has been designed to work together. Picture, sound, comfort, lighting, control, and the technology behind the scenes all contribute to what happens when the lights dim and the movie begins.
Solutions for Architectural & Odd-Shaped Windows
Some of the most beautiful windows in a mountain home are also the most difficult to cover. Arches, triangles, angled glass, high gable windows, and oversized expanses can introduce glare, privacy concerns, and direct sunlight while making conventional window treatments impractical.
Integrated ArchiTech evaluates each window individually, considering its shape, dimensions, orientation, mounting conditions, desired fabric, and how you want the treatment to operate. Depending on the architecture, the right solution may be fully motorized, partially operable, or a combination of treatments designed to work together.
Specialty Window Applications
✓ Arched windows
✓ Triangle & trapezoid windows
✓ Angled & sloped windows
✓ High gable windows
✓ Oversized windows & walls of glass
✓ Tall & hard-to-reach windows
The objective is not to hide the architecture. It's to provide the light control and privacy you need while preserving the window that made the room special in the first place.
Smart Shades That Respond to the Day
Window coverings don't have to wait for someone to adjust them. When integrated with the home, automated shades can respond to schedules, scenes, and everyday routines, managing natural light and privacy while allowing the residence to feel different from morning through evening.
Bedroom shades can open with your morning routine, welcoming natural light without requiring you to walk from window to window.
Shades can lower when direct sunlight becomes uncomfortable, reducing glare and helping protect furnishings, flooring and artwork.
One scene can coordinate window coverings with lighting throughout living areas, creating the right atmosphere before guests arrive.
As daylight disappears, shades can close throughout selected rooms or the entire residence, providing privacy without checking every window individually.
Bedroom shades, lighting, and other connected systems can transition together, simplifying the last few minutes of the evening with a single command.
For a second home, automated scenes can continue adjusting blinds while you're away, rather than leaving every shade in the same position for weeks at a time.
Professional Shading & Whole-Home Control
Motorized window treatments become even more useful when they work as part of the home rather than as a separate system. Integrated ArchiTech designs shading solutions using professional platforms from Lutron, Crestron, and Somfy, selected around the windows, architecture, control system, and needs of the residence.
Lutron brings lighting and automated shades together with one control. Window treatments can coordinate with interior lighting, Ketra, keypads, schedules, and personalized scenes throughout the home.
Crestron integrates motorized window treatments with sophisticated whole-home control, allowing shades, lighting, climate, entertainment, and other connected systems to respond together from familiar interfaces.
Somfy offers a broad range of smart solutions for shades, blinds, and drapery, providing flexible options for new construction, renovations, individual rooms, and existing window-treatment applications.
Natural Light Meets Smart Lighting
Electric light and daylight shouldn't behave like two separate systems. As natural light changes throughout the day, automated window treatments and smart lighting can work together to maintain a comfortable atmosphere while reducing the number of adjustments you have to make.

For residences with broader automation, shades can also become part of whole-home scenes that coordinate lighting, climate, entertainment, security, and other connected systems.

Why Homeowners Trust Integrated ArchiTech
Technology becomes part of the home for years, so who designs, installs, and supports it matters. Since 2017, Integrated ArchiTech has worked with homeowners and design professionals to create systems that respect the architecture, simplify everyday living, and remain supported long after installation.
9+ Years of Experience
Since 2017, our team has worked in distinctive residences throughout Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina, with experience spanning new construction, renovations, and existing homes.
Properly Designed
Every residence is different. We consider the architecture, interior design, views, natural light, and daily routines before recommending how technology should become part of the space.
Work With Your Team
We collaborate with homeowners, architects, builders, and interior designers to coordinate details early, helping technology become part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
Service After Install
Our relationship doesn't end when the project is complete. We remain available for adjustments, troubleshooting, programming changes, system expansion, and ongoing support.
Designed for New Homes, Existing Homes & Outdoor Living
Every project starts differently. Some begin on architectural plans before construction starts. Others begin in a finished home where opening walls isn't practical. And increasingly, the spaces homeowners want to make more comfortable extend beyond the walls of the house. Integrated ArchiTech evaluates the architecture, windows, infrastructure, and how each space is used before determining the right approach.
New Construction & Pre-Wire
The best time to plan is before the walls are finished. We coordinate with architects, builders, electricians, and designers to plan power, low-voltage wiring, recessed pockets, controls, and window details early, creating a cleaner finished installation with fewer compromises later.
Existing Homes & Renovations
A finished home doesn't necessarily require opening walls. Battery-powered and wire-free solutions can bring automation to many existing windows while preserving millwork, finishes, and surrounding architecture. During renovations, we can combine wired and wireless solutions where each makes the most sense.
Outdoor Shades
Covered patios, porches, and outdoor living spaces present their own challenges from sun, glare, wind, and insects. Exterior motorized shades can make these spaces more comfortable while maintaining the open-air character and views that make them enjoyable in the first place.
Installation & Personalization
Once the design is established, our team coordinates the details, installs and programs the system, and fine-tunes its operation. We make sure everything works as intended, show you how to use it, and remain available when adjustments or service are needed.
