The North Shore design and building community gathered in style on November 5, 2025, for the BONS Home Awards celebration, hosted by Northshore Magazine at Olio Wedding & Event Space in Peabody. The industrial-chic venue set the perfect tone for an evening dedicated to celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation in home design.
Guests from across the region—including architects, builders, interior designers, real-estate professionals, and artisans—mingled over light bites and cocktails while exploring interactive home vignettes.
A featured panel discussion lead by editor Nancy E. Berry titled “The Power of Great Design: What It Takes to Create a Winning Firm” brought together thought leaders from across the industry:
- Gregory Lombardi, President & Founder, Gregory Lombardi Landscape Design
- Trevor Fulmer of Trevor Fulmer Design
- Stephen Payne, Founding Partner at Bouchier Fine Builders
- Eunice Weckesser, Founder & Principal Designer, Crown the Cool Studios
- Tobin Shulman, Principal at SV Design
Together, they shared strategies for growth, discussed emerging design trends, and offered a window into the creative and operational minds behind successful home-industry firms.
