Bond Street Residential Project
I was construction project manager for this eco-friendly renovation, executed with Huniford Design Studio, which incorporated the installation of electromagnetic frequency blocking throughout. The use of non-toxic materials and reclaimed wood combined with raw and exposed materials were used to create a sensibility that emulates a Northern Californian design aesthetic.

The project was judged on criterion including quality of interior design, construction, and architecture. It was ultimately awarded as "Highly Commended" in the Interior Design Private Residence (Americas / New York) category, and named "one the most exceptional projects of 2016."
