C. Raymond Davis & Sons Earns National Honors from Associated Builders and Contractors

C. Raymond Davis & Sons (CRD) is thrilled to announce that their work on a residential entertainment barn in Rumson, NJ, has earned the company a national Excellence in Construction® Eagle Award, which was presented during ABC Convention 2025 in Las Vegas on Feb. 26.

The project involved constructing a 6,415 sqft luxury entertainment barn, a 535 sqft garage outfitted as a pottery and jewelry studio, a tennis court, a custom greenhouse, and extensive landscaping. Inspired by the timeless charm of traditional Pennsylvania stone barns, the design integrates contemporary elements to create an extraordinary entertaining space loaded with high-end finishes, technical features, artistic details, and custom furnishings.

The main floor of the barn features an open-concept layout with an elegant entry foyer, full kitchen, dining space for 20 guests, expansive living room with a 32-foot stone fireplace, a bathroom with a shower, and a lofted bunk room. The lower level includes a wine tasting room, game room, spa, and sauna.

The project was designed by Period Architecture with interiors by Ursino Interiors and landscape design by Hess Landscape Architects. It also won first place in its category and was named Project of the Year in the ABC Eastern PA Chapter's Excellence in Construction Awards competition.
