<br />charge overseeing all aspects of the $3.2M project. He actively led the concept and design
<br />effort as well as presented the project to the government planning department. The design
<br />captures the spirit of the island and its history, and seeks to re-invigorate its historic center. The
<br />team designed a fully operational water storage cistern and coordinated the re-routing of an
<br />existing overhead power service line to underground.

<br />and trellises. The complex blends harmoniously with rock walls, historic details, and massing
