Makai Residence
Kailua-Kona, HI, United States
Organized around an internal Zen garden of raked coral stones, this courtyard home’s restrained architectural sensibilities harmonize with the contemplative and serene landscape design to evoke a tropical sanctuary ambiance.The restraint and thoughtfulness of the craftsmanship inform and fortify the sense of repose. Stone columns and partial height walls define the main gathering areas, promote ventilation and support the more formal notion of pavilion architecture. Horizontal datum reveals throughout the stone and wood columns in the home act
as a counterpoint to the verticality. Lava stone site walls enclose the gardens, creating private “outdoor rooms” that flow smoothly into the interior areas.
Finish materials were selected to enhance the subtlety and restraint of the design: the horizontal lines of the natural cedar wood roof shingles; the luxurious deep red-brown of the mahogany woodwork; limestone and coral columns;
travertine floors; and integral light grey-brown plaster walls were chosen for their restfulness and as a counterpart to the surrounding lava fields. de Reus Architects was honored with an Award of Excellence for this home in the AIA Honolulu 2011 Design Awards.Photo Credit: David Duncan Livingston
