Contemporary, Cozy Kitchen
"We now have a stunning and utterly unique kitchen, family room and mudroom that blows everyone away who enters. Visitors are so surprised to hear we didn’t add one foot onto the house’s original footprint: all that space was already there.

More Beach House Details
06.13.13. by Natalie Wightman. "Careful design eliminates wasted space and maximizes function." This quote is taken from a must-read article we recently came across; it discusses the superior advantages of today's thoughtful design in smaller homes. The piece seemed as if it was written about The Beach House since this is the exact same approach we have taken in our design. http://www.absoluteremodeling.com/TheBeachHouseRetrofitProjectPressSpring2013.html

04.27.12. by Natalie Wightman. Last week marked the one year anniversary that construction on The Beach House began. As a freelance writer for this project I have observed first hand the tremendous amount of time and care that has been placed into the top to bottom transformation of this home. Far from an ordinary renovation the amount of thought and detail that have been part of this project is truly remarkable.

04.11.12. by Jonathan Fahey. The price of natural gas has fallen to its lowest level in more than a decade, a remarkable decline for a commodity that not long ago was believed to be in short supply. The country's supply of natural gas is gr...owing so fast that analysts worry the country's underground storage facilities could be full by fall. There is so much natural gas being produced -- and still in the ground -- that drillers, policymakers, economists and natural gas customers are trying to figure out what to do with it.
-Sure, gas is not perfect, but all things considered, it sure beats oil by 10 to 1.

03.12.12. by Nicholas Pell. It’s not an objective measure by any means but some might find comfort in the "Oracle of Omaha." Warren Buffet is predicting that 2012 will be the year that the U.S. housing market rebounds. The catch? He said the same thing last year. In fairness, Buffet was the first person to admit that this prediction proved to be, in his words, "dead wrong."
Here’s Buffet’s thinking: As everyone under 30 knows...
- I, of course, happen to agree with Mr. Buffet optimism since it has some basis in reality.

Will 2012 be the year the housing market rebounds? Find out why Warren Buffet is so sure that he'd actually invest his own money if possible.

01.30.12. by Carl Seville. "Homes have a complex set of components that must be designed and constructed so that they work together as a smoothly operating machine — not unlike a car. What if when you bought a car, the company dumped all the parts on your front lawn and sent over people who worked for different companies to assemble it, in the rain, over a period of months? Would you even consider driving it?"
- I also like his other car reference: "if we compare the average house to a car, it would have bald tires, leak and burn oil, and get about four miles to the gallon."

CARL SEVILLE: Rather than being an afterthought or sideline to a remodeling project, building science should be integral to every remodel, right from the beginning of the process.
