Sudbury, Mass. (April 12, 2005) — Home Entertainment Expo (HEE), New England's top home entertainment and residential technologies design-and-build center, was presented with dual awards — Platinum and Silver — for home theater design excellence at the 2005 Luxury Living Awards banquet on April 6th. The award competition was held in conjunction with the Residential Design 2005 exposition, which took place on April 6th and 7th at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

"It was an extraordinary evening that brought together a diverse mix of professionals from Boston's thriving home design community. The winners were thrilled to be recognized and the attendees got a look at some of the exceptional work being done in New England." said John Kenney, publisher of HomeWorks Sourcebook.

Luxury Living Awards

The Luxury Living Awards were developed by HomeWorks Sourcebook, a leading Boston-based home design publication, in partnership with over twenty organizations, including major home design sponsors, leading trade groups, select marketing partners and non-profit charities to recognize New England's most beautiful living spaces and the talented design professionals who created them.

The awards were broken into specific categories ranging from Casual Living to Kitchens and Bathrooms to Home Theater. Out of the three possible home theater design awards, Home Entertainment was awarded two — Platinum and Silver — for two separate client projects: a custom luxury home theater with integrated control room, and a breathtaking, family-friendly media room. HEE's partnering companies were also awarded for their contributions to these winning projects and included Dodd Woodworking, Pepperdash Technology, Sound Walls and Manuel de Santaren Interior Design & Decorating.

Winners of the competition were selected anonymously by a distinguished panel of jurors drawn from the Boston area's home design, real estate and media fields. The roster of jurors included:

• Charlie Allen, Charlie Allen Restorations
• Clara Batchelor, CBA Landscape Architects
• Julie Chrissis, Susan Sargent Designs
• Leslie Drew, Hammond GMAC
• Jeremiah Eck, Jeremiah Eck Interiors
• Samantha House, The Improper Bostonian
• Garry Martin, The Martin Group
• Rachel Pike, The Wentworth Institute
• Rolly Rouse, Home Portfolio

"The entire Home Entertainment Expo team is thrilled to be recognized for its efforts," commented HEE co-founder and vice president, David Gormley. "We've worked hard to provide New England's homeowners, architects and builders with a one-of-a-kind home entertainment, design and automation experience — from our real-world showroom to our team of recognized industry professionals — and these awards, along with our booming client base, tell us that we're achieving our goals."
