Congratulations to the whole team on winning this award – TEF ARchitects, Knapp Architects, Hood Design and the SF Arts Commission – Tom DeCaigny and Judy Nemzoff, et al. Was a pleasure working with all of you:
REVITALIZATION AWARD
Recognition of business owners, property owners, or a developer who have enhanced the community by making significant improvements to their properties, which have, in turn, had a positive impact on the surrounding area.
Bayview Opera House

The California Preservation Foundation has just announced the 2017 Design Awards and the Bayview Opera House project has been selected. Deborah was asked by the San Francisco Arts Commission to take a leadership role in planning the renovation and restoration project. In her role, Deborah assisted the City of San Francisco in hiring Tom Eliot Fisch as the architects for the project and Hood Design as the landscape architects. Knapp Architects assisted TEF with the project. Working with Judy Nemzoff of the SF Arts Commission, Deborah oversaw the design of the project and the Department of Public Works oversaw the construction. Special recognition goes to Judy Nemzoff who just recently retired but who for over a decade championed this project, raised money, and worked with the community to ensure its success. Also thanks to Tom DeCainy for his support along the way.
