We had a great experience using Absolute Design. Eric has wonderful ideas and vision on how to design the home that we want. He is a professional that uses all of the CAD and video walkthrough technologies that are critical to understanding how the project will look and feel. He is responsive, thorough and follows through with our project goals. Eric will take his experience with all of the previous work he has done and merge it with your vision, style and goals in order to get the home you really want.
We can highly recommend Eric and Absolute Design.

Comment from Absolute Design:
Thank you. I set out not only to design functional and creative designs but to make the process as hassle-free for my clients from start to finish!
Eric was wonderful to work with. We really wanted to build in a way that was non-traditional. He listened to all of our wants and needs and designed a home that is perfect for us. Additionally, he was at the contractor meetings, the structural design meetings and others as they came along. He was great at using ZOOM for meetings and was quick at revisions.
As an added benefit, he has a reputation with the County at submitting thorough plans, so our submission went smooth.
He is a great guy to work with and we would recommend him for your design needs.

Thank you. As clients I'm pleased you felt carried not only through the design process but through the transition of construction.
Eric is wonderful to work with. He is really creative and a great problem solver. I had some specific ideas I wanted incorporated into the design and he always made everything work beautifully. I can’t wait to live in this Spanish beauty.

Great architect to work with. He values his customer's thoughts and goals and isn't afraid to think out of the box to create a modern and energy-efficient house. Great use of 3d modeling to demonstrate and fine-tune concepts.

Thank you. We enjoying teaming with you as well to add the beautiful finishing touches on our designs, a collaboration we hope to continue and grow for years to come.
I hired Eric to design my Father-in-law’s new house which was completed in July of 2016. He was easy to work with, had great design ideas and explained the process from beginning to end. Eric also provided the process in writing which helped answer any additional questions I had along the way. I truly believe he takes his client’s best interests to heart. Absolute Desgn is a class act!

Absolute Design owner Eric has been a pleasure to work with. He is innovative and listened to what we were trying to create. He would have so many ideas, and then show them to us, and let us decide what would be best for us. It was never a problem to change our minds (which we did quite a few times...thanks for being so patient with us!) Seeing his designs come to life in 3D was amazing. We are so excited to start the building process.

Absolute Design helped to design the home of our dreams! What at first felt like an overwhelming task became exciting and streamline thanks to Absolute Designs guidance and expertise. They helped us to open our minds to how we live our lives and how our home layout would fit into that life. Every time we pull up to our home we cannot believe that it came out so perfect for us and our family.

Witschi Construction has been working together with Absolute Design for several years. He is a very attentive listener that can guide the client towards reaching their ultimate goals and dreams. He is very professional during the design phase, flexible and open to input in the construction phase as well. Together that makes it very easy to achieve a teamwork approach for all parties involved. Erik spends time on site and communicates well with the rest of the project team which leads to a great result for clients. WC will continue to recommend Erik to anyone looking to build a new custom home or needs a remodel/addition done to their existing structure.

Biomirage Landscape, Pool & Garden Design
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars
As a landscape and pool designer, I always appreciate when architects and designers contact me early in their design process. There are such wonderful possibilities that can be pursued when this early collaboration occurs, that are forever lost when this does not. Sadly, this rarely occurs as most architects and designers see these as separate steps with the landscape and pool design only remotely related to their work. Eric Lytle and Absolute Design are the exception to this rule. Not only does he frequently do just that, he also offers his clients a variety of approaches and architectural styles. That too is unusual and makes for truly great projects conceived from passion and the synergistic combination of owners, designers and builders You will not go wrong with Absolute Design, they receive my highest recommendation!
September 10, 2016
Comment from Absolute Design:
We really appreciate your kind words. It is a priority of mine to harmoniously blend all aspects of the design.

We are very happy with the work that Eric did for us! He took some very rudimentary design ideas that we had and turned it into the exactly what we were looking for. Eric's attention to detail and eye for design make his work a cut above the rest. His design made for an addition to our home that flows perfectly with the existing architecture, and fits our function perfectly. We look forward to working with Absolute Design more in the future!

Eric designed our custom home. We were so pleased with his ideas and solutions and thankful we chose to work with him. Our home is both efficiently designed and beautiful. He is up to date on everything, including showing a 3D model of what your home will look like, which was very helpful. He's also patient and understanding with any changes you need, and easy to work with. Overall, Eric is an incredibly talented architect. We are excited to build and enjoy the home he designed for us!

After working with multiple designers throughout my 19 years of Structural experience, I can say with confidence that Absolute design is a top notch source for high-end custom residential design. It is important to note that Eric's professionalism and attention to detail follows throughout the process-- not just with his design team. In other words, Absolute design knows how the project will be built so the owner will have representation throughout ALL phases of the project, from conception through construction. If my family ever goes custom, I will be working with Eric and Absolute Design.

I would highly recommend Eric to any of my family, friends, or clients. Thank you for all of your hard work and most of all for listening and making a perfect designs that fit all of the details we asked for.

I have worked and will continue to work with Absolute Design for our structural drafting needs for my company. Eric is an extremely creative and talented designer that has always been able to work with my clients and exceed expectations. I would like to personally thank the Absolute Design team for aiding me in many of my projects.

We had the great opportunity to work with Eric Lytle, Absolute Design, on a kitchen remodel and our experience was phenomenal! He had many wonderful ideas and made the process much more easier than we expected. Eric is very reliable, courteous, efficient, and he also worked as the project manager for the remodel and kept the contractors on schedule. By him doing that, we were able to stay within our timeline and more importantly on budget. We receive so many compliments on our new kitchen!!!

I am a professional ASID interior designer who has had the opportunity to work with Eric J Lytle, “Absolute Design” on several large projects.
Building or remodeling a home represents the greatest financial investment most people will make in a lifetime and few envision how complex the process is until they are entangled in a jungle of restrictive covenants, building codes, zoning ordinances, design options, vendor and contractor choices. You need someone with experience and competency, who will give you guidance but will also listen and to your dreams and ideas, than take them to a place you could have never imagined!
My experience in working with Eric is that, every aspect of the collaboration has been extremely positive- from his thoroughly detailed drawings to the aesthetic homes he creates for each client. He is personable and a true joy to work with. I would highly recommend Eric Lytle, Absolute Design!

I have been in the Truss Industry for 25+ years and have worked in Central CA, Central CA Coast, Las Vegas, Southern Arizona, and Southern Utah. I have worked with countless architects and home designers in all these locations and I have yet to find one that has all the qualities that you will find at Absolute Designs. Many of the people I have worked with can draw homes, but lack vision, have vision, but cant for see issues, can solve problems, but have no eye for detail or lack of an open mind. And that is where Eric has them beat hands down. From Modern to Contemporary, Traditional to Spanish, and anything in between, the 10,000 square custom home, to a 500 square foot BBQ structure, that design will fit the customer, the plan will be complete and easy to follow for the builder, and I can guarantee he has put his heart and soul into your project. In my humble opinion, there is NO ONE better to make your dreams come true when it comes to creating your family’s home, or just a cool place to hang out by the pool. Not to mention he is one of the good guys, I am lucky for the opportunity to work with him, and truly blessed to call him a friend.
