This contemporary staircase serves as a striking focal point in the home's sun-filled entryway. Black mono-beam stringers support thick natural-stained oak treads, creating a bold structural framework. The absence of risers maintains complete openness, allowing natural light from the surrounding private forest to flow freely through the space. Glass panel railings echo the foyer's numerous windows, maintaining visual continuity throughout, while the black metal cap rail reinforces the industrial aesthetic of the stringers. Together, these elements create an anchoring stair system that enhances the contemporary home's connection to light and landscape. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

This custom-designed home, secluded on 6 acres of woods and a pond, was constructed in 1986 and is demonstrative of the challenges of remodeling custom design homes. While the initial design worked for the original empty nesters, the new owner found aspects of the custom design deficient for their young family, best exemplified by the fact the kitchen was extremely small and did not have an oven. An interesting aspect of the original design was that it had a strong geometric form, in floor plan, that created interesting spaces for the original owner but introduced challenges in accommodating our client’s program. The original plan had triangular indentions and projections beyond a rectilinear footprint. To accommodate the owner’s program, we infilled one projection to encompass a fireplace and home stereo cabinets and removed an indentation to create more room for an expanded kitchen. The existing sunken living room floor was two steps down from the kitchen/dining area. We raised this floor flush with the other spaces to create a continuity of space. This allowed for more options in function and furnishings. The modern expression of the remodel was driven by our client’s passion for modern design, and it further enhanced the original design expression, staying respectful and true to the original design. Albers Design constructed the second phase of this project using our proprietary CMA Advantage™ construction delivery method

The homeowners envisioned a renovation that would honour the home's original character while enhancing its functionality for modern living. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to reflect the home's Edwardian architecture, from the thicker trim and window casings to the Marmoleum checkerboard flooring, decorative ceiling tiles, and traditional wainscoting. Together, these carefully selected elements create visual continuity, allowing the renovated spaces to blend seamlessly with the original home. A long-awaited priority was the addition of a dedicated pantry. Reconfiguring the existing layout maximized every square foot, creating a more efficient and functional kitchen without compromising its character. Designed for everyday living, the kitchen incorporates thoughtful storage solutions and smart organization while preserving the timeless architectural details that define the home.

Custom Venetian plaster finishes applied to an elaborate architectural ceiling and multiple walls in the main living room of a private residence in Westport, Connecticut. The polished plaster features rich tonal variations, subtle texture, and a high-gloss finish that reflects both natural and artificial light. The decorative ceiling, with its geometric panels, circular centerpiece, and intricate moldings, becomes a defining architectural feature of the room. The Venetian plaster finish enhances its complex geometry, creating depth, movement, and changing reflections throughout the space. The same decorative technique extends to selected walls, establishing visual continuity between the ceiling and the surrounding architectural surfaces. The result is a cohesive interior in which Venetian plaster emphasizes architectural detail while bringing warmth, richness, and a distinctive interplay of light and texture.

This modern kitchen remodel features classic white shaker cabinetry paired with a contrasting navy blue island, creating a balanced and timeless design. The perimeter cabinets provide a clean, bright backdrop, while the deep navy island anchors the space and introduces subtle contrast. A waterfall quartz countertop extends down both sides of the island, highlighting the natural veining and adding architectural presence. The full-height quartz backsplash enhances visual continuity and simplifies maintenance. Stainless steel appliances and matte black hardware complete the contemporary aesthetic without overpowering the neutral palette. Designed using ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinetry, this project demonstrates how thoughtfully engineered cabinet construction can achieve a custom look with streamlined ordering and efficient installation. The layout maximizes storage while maintaining clear circulation, making it well-suited for modern open-concept living. Cabinetry designed and supplied by The Cabination.
