2022 Gold Nugget Winner

De Mattei Construction is proud to announce that our Atherton House project has received the Grand Award for Best Custom Home Over 8,000 Square Feet at the 2022 Gold Nugget Awards. This top honor recognizes excellence in design, construction innovation, and the highest level of custom residential craftsmanship—qualities that defined every stage of this landmark build.

The Atherton residence represents a rare combination of architectural sophistication, performance-driven detailing, and refined interior execution. From concealed structural systems to artisan-level finishes and an integrated landscape program, the home demonstrates how large-scale custom construction can remain intimate, balanced, and environmentally attuned. The Gold Nugget jury highlighted the home’s clarity of design, material elegance, and the precision with which modern living requirements were incorporated without compromising form or proportion.

We are honored to have our work recognized among the most distinguished projects in the Western United States and beyond. This award reflects the vision of our client, the talent of our architectural and design partners, and the dedication of the craftspeople who brought the project to life—from foundation to final furnishings.
