A Modern Beachside Estate

Status: Currently in Progress
Location: Beachfront Kailua, Hawaii

Description:
Every aspect of environmental design was considered in the development of this home. The expansive ocean views, the courtyard privacy and shade, the upper awning window band allowing cross ventilation, the use of photo-voltaic panels all contribute to a sleek, elegant modern home.

Sophisticated cabinetry, bold geometric bathrooms, travertine floors throughout, rich wood door systems and an 80' lap pool with a vanishing edge combine together to form a powerful, strong understated architecture.
