American design studio Walker Warner Architects finishes the Hale Kiawe home located by the Kona Coast in Hawaii. It is a tranquil family retreat defined by its simple and gabled forms resting within a landscape that is detailed with chunky lava rocks. The home is made for a family who were looking for a beautiful space to relax with a minimal aesthetic full of function as the root.
The owners believe in minimalism with a focus on only having what is essential and come from a cross-cultural Indian background. Thus, the team turned for inspiration from a traditional Hindu system of architecture known as 'Vastu Shastra' which highlights harmonious living. The team explains, "Simple lines and geometries create a striking contrast with the undulating landscape and stunning coastline in the distance. The home is elegant but spare, exhibiting a spiritual existence that adapts to the environment with ease and comfort."
