* OUR LATEST COMPLETED PROJECTS *

Waste Not, Want Not "How are we going to do all that?" - Not the most inspiring of words, but designer Lois Horan, of Crown Point Cabinetry in Claremont, New Hampshire, admits that it's just what she wondered while standing in the tiny kitchen of Gina and Ian Smith's 1920s cottage-style home...  - Kitchen & Bath, Spring 2008 Issue.  Currently available in newsstand.

	Simply Superb Soon to be our award winning passive wine cellar. In the meantime, our clients are celebrating every day.  And they should. Completely custom built from scratch.  No racks, no kits. No refrigeration needed either.  Solid mahogany. What else is there to say?
	Rye Lower Level A complete rebuild in a home almost 100 years of age.  One of our most dramatic makeover's ever.  A full description of the scope of work will be necessary to fully appreciate this one. In the meantime, let the dozens of before & after pictures speak for themselves.
	Rye Brook Lower Level Talk about "taking it to the next level"... A complete makeover that goes far beyond esthetics;  All mechanicals you can imagine in this home were replaced and upgraded.  Hard to believe this was once a wet, dark and unhealthy living space...  Several built-ins added to the final touch.
	Lewisboro Master Bath Swapping around the vanity and the tub made a world of a difference.  This bathroom is not larger, it just feels that way.  Bigger windows, an all-glass shower enclosure, heated floors, high-efficiency insulation, all played a part in this now cozy retreat.  The vanity, mirrors & the tub panels were custom design & built by Absolute.

Fairfield CT Lower Level This lower level is featuring our most extensive built-ins to date. From bookshelves to a bar, a home theatre, a kitchenette, a vanity... And much, much more...

Custom Design Woodwork Finally! - We gathered all of our custom built-ins under one roof.  Choose from bars, built-ins, breakfast nooks, entertainment centers, libraries, home offices, home theatres, barn doors, hidden doors (like the one shown here), custom furniture, vanities, and last but not least, wine cellars...

Celebrities Join The Housing Industry

From Martha Stewart to Leonardo DiCaprio, celebrities are attaching their names to home building projects.  Read more

Why Go Green?

Homeowners who choose to remodel green lower their energy consumption by 30-50%.
It's also easier on the earth, and it provides a much healthier home in which to live.  It also increases the value of the home, and increases productivity of its occupants.

So, shouldn't the question be, why not go green?!?

The Not So Big Life

The bigger-is-better idea that triggered the explosion of McMansions in home design has spilled over to give us McLives.  In her bestselling Not So Big House series, Sarah Susanka showed us how to change the way we live by adjusting the physical space we inhabit.  Now, in The Not So Big Life, Sarah takes her revolutionary philosophy a giant step further by showing us how to change the way we live by fully inhabiting each moment of our lives.
