Cello & Maudru

Construction

For such an expansive project, developer Phil Sherburne took a risk. He hired a general contractor that had never built a hotel. But their experience with building in the Napa Valley for demanding winery and custom home clients, and a demonstrated understanding of the project, told Sherburne that Cello & Maudru was the right choice for the job. With skilled craftsmen on their team and attention to detail, they fast became relentless advocates for creating a deeply green hotel experience -- the common vision behind the design. 93 percent of the construction waste was recycled during the site preparation and building process. Cello & Maudru is also accredited as being the first contractor in Napa to complete a privately constructed building according to the exacting standards of the U.S. Green Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) System. Under the same accreditation process, the Bardessono has been submitted to achieve LEED Platinum certification, the highest level of environmental design. www.cello-maudru.com/
