SUFFOLK, VA - What would happen if a closets company designed an entire house?
Home buyers are getting a chance to find out, as they visit Closets Factory Hampton Roads "Treasure Chest - The Organization Home" in Suffolk, VA.
The house, sponsored by Closets Factory and built by Joey Corp., won the Tidewater Builders Association’s Fall Homearama Critics’ Choice best Home in Show gold awards. The Suffolk, Virginia Homearama is one of the largest and oldest home marketing events in the U.S.
Closets Factory Hampton Road's winning 2011 Treasure Chest – The Organizational Home is a ï¬rst of its kind house built around home organizational designs.
“Eight years ago when I ï¬rst bought Closet Factory I would estimate 15% of our community knew our name," says Closet Factory Hampton Roads president Jeff Bruzzesi. "Today itʼs a much different story. I think because home organization is so important in our daily lives not only do people respond to our message, they seek us out.”

Closets Factory The home features 26 organization solutions that can be crafted speciï¬cally for any home. Bruzzesi says research conï¬rms the importance of organization as a key stress reducer. Americans feel the better their home is organized, the better they feel and the more time they can spend with family.
A video tour (below) shows designs from the Closet Factory custom organizers are found in the master and other closets, but youʼll also ï¬nd their custom organization solutions in rooms like: the dining room china cabinet, breakfast room cupboard, mud room, sitting room in the master suite, master vanities, craft room, linen cabinet, theatre room, kitchen, laundry Center, plus some special custom organization surprises.
“People want to live smarter, more efï¬ciently and that often means just being better organized,” says Bruzzesi. “That trend has lead us to design smarter storage for every room of peopleʼs homes. My hope is that by featuring thoughtful, well planned and practical storage solutions for the way people live through their entire home, we will provide greater insight how Closet Factory can improve the function of anyoneʼs home."
