Manini‘o Wali Residence
North Kona Coast, Hawai‘i
Designed on a 29,000 square foot lot, this 6,000 square foot private residence in the historic Manini‘o Wali area on the North Kona Coast of Hawai‘i, fits neatly onto its narrow meandering and tiered site.
The primary living pavilion which includes open gathering and dining spaces with a master bedroom wing is focused on jewel-like Kua Bay below. Entering the auto court at the upper level of the site, a path of stone pavers leads alongside the guest cottages and internal garden to the living pavilion. These cottages are skewed to view toward the receding Kohala coastline and the gently sloping Kohala Mountains. Upon entering the living pavilion, the room immediately opens onto a large covered lanai wrapped with an infinity edge pool.
Craftsman-like in its design, the architecture is reminiscent of the classic Hawaiian beach cottage. A limited palette of finish materials such as travertine stone with Ohia wood floors, millwork and cabinetry convey an elegant rustic restraint that is rich in overall affect. Pocketed doors provide large wall openings to embrace views and gardens.
