"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."
