Hilo

The form of the house and the curved shapes within are guided by the surrounding hills, flowing and organic. While this is undeniably a modern home, with abundant natural light and the extensive use of natural materials, a harmonious palette of fir, maple, hemlock and cedar instills warmth and comfort.

To live here is to be as connected to the outside as you are to the inside. The custom staircase, crafted of maple treads and fir dowels, extends up through all levels of the home to filter and direct light. The great room consisting of an open kitchen, dining and living area, connects seamlessly to 2 different patio spaces. Here, extensive glazing on both sides of the room balances the southern with the northern light while providing excellent ventilation on hot days - the fluidity of space that encourages connection and conversation. Watch the kids splashing in the saltwater hot tub while you prep in the fully equipped kitchen. Pass items for the BBQ through the pass-through kitchen window.
