Raymond has been awarded the Wall and Ceiling Alliance (WACA) 2014 Construction Excellence Award for Residential Interior for the NEMA Residences project (often referred to as Tenth and Market).
The NEMA Residences are comprised of four linked structures, ranging from 10 to 37 stories, including two high-rise towers and two mid-rise buildings. Collectively, the buildings comprise 754 units that range in size from 463 square feet to 1,482 square feet. The towers are connected by a three-story podium with a fitness center, swimming pool and garden. Other amenities include state-of-the-art technology, a Solarium by the Pool Deck, four levels of Valet Parking Service and spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay Area.
The building features a state-of-the art integral glass curtain wall system with metal panel stripes. At the street level, floor-to-ceiling glass retail storefronts make the towers above appear as if they are floating. The facades create a desirable interior environment by optimizing the balance between heating load, cooling load and natural day-lighting.
Raymond worked with Swinerton Builders on the 170 million dollar, LEED Silver project to complete the drywall, light gauge framing, lath and plaster, and insulation.
