Palladiom Architectural Controls & Shading
Architectural control and shading, unified by design.
Palladiom is Lutron’s most refined architectural family, encompassing both minimalist control interfaces and precision-engineered shading systems. Designed for projects where technology must integrate seamlessly into architecture, Palladiom delivers a cohesive visual language across walls, windows, and spaces.
Old Cove specifies Palladiom when lighting and shading must feel intentional, restrained, and permanently integrated — not added after the fact.
What Palladiom is
Palladiom is not a single product.
It is an architectural system consisting of:
Palladiom controls
- Ultra-thin architectural keypads
- Precision-machined metal finishes
- Engraved, tactile buttons
- Consistent, repeatable control logic
Palladiom shading
- Roller shades and drapery systems
- Exposed and recessed architectural designs
- Quiet, precise motion
- Finishes and proportions designed to align with modern architecture
Together, these elements allow lighting and shading to be controlled without visual clutter, preserving architectural intent.
Why Palladiom is specified on high-end projects
Palladiom is chosen when:
- Design consistency matters across walls and windows
- Interfaces must feel permanent, not trendy
- Shading must align with architecture, not compete with it
- Touchscreens feel inappropriate
- Minimalism is intentional, not empty
You’ll typically find Palladiom in:
- Architect-led residences
- Design-forward new construction
- High-end renovations
- Spaces with curated materials and finishes
How Old Cove designs Palladiom systems
Palladiom succeeds or fails based on design discipline, not hardware. We have trained hard to become Lutron certified Palladiom installers.
Our process focuses on:
Interface logic
- Determining what truly needs a control
- Reducing button count without reducing capability
- Maintaining consistency across rooms and floors
Shading strategy
- Selecting exposed vs recessed systems
- Aligning shade pockets with architectural elements
- Coordinating fabrics, finishes, and light behavior
Integration
- Coordinating Palladiom controls with lighting scenes
- Synchronizing shading with daylight and time of day
- Ensuring predictable, repeatable behavior throughout the property
The result is an environment that feels calm, deliberate, and intuitive.
Palladiom within the Lutron ecosystem
Palladiom is designed to operate as part of a larger architectural system, not in isolation.
Old Cove commonly integrates Palladiom with:
- Lutron HomeWorks automation for centralized control
- Ketra lighting systems for full-spectrum illumination
- Automated daylight and glare control
- Whole-home and estate-scale lighting logic
This allows the visible interface to remain minimal while the system behind it remains powerful.
Who Palladiom is ideal for
Palladiom is an excellent fit for:
- Clients prioritizing architectural restraint
- Designer- and architect-led projects
- Homes where shading is part of the design language
- Projects seeking timeless, low-visual-impact technology
- High-end residential
Who it’s not for
Palladiom is not intended for:
- Budget-driven projects
- Spaces requiring constant on-screen interaction
- Decorative-only shading solutions
Why clients trust Old Cove with Palladiom
- Deep experience balancing aesthetics and control
- Sensitivity to architectural proportion and detail
- Thoughtful coordination between lighting and shading
- Systems designed for longevity, not fashion
- We are highly-trained, certified Lutron Palladiom dealers
We design Palladiom systems so they feel inevitable — as if they were always part of the architecture.
