Living on their expansive property for many years, our clients knew they had room for a new ohana and pool and had only dreamed about where it would best fit into their property and correspond to the location of the main house. We took all this into consideration while capitalizing on the view, the landscape, and their desire for warmth at the property's high elevation on the dormant volcano.
As with all Hawaii Off Grid designs, the roof is a focal point for reducing the carbon footprint. Half the roof is solar, the other half is a 'green roof'. The green roof helps control the temperature and capture rainwater. It also helps blend the building into the surroundings.
PROJECT DETAILSThe high elevation makes sunbathing on the patio a perfect balance between the afternoon sun and the cool mountain air... especially after a dip in the adjoining pool.
PROJECT DETAILSThe top level of the building serves many functions, with the open concept allowing for a variety of interactions and flow.
