Hale Kiawe by Walker Warner captures the beauty and authenticity of its Hawaiian landscape and creates a home that deeply expresses its owners’ minimalist leanings.
Hale Kiawe’s owners, who come from a cross-cultural Indian background, believe in possessing only what is truly essential. When working with architect Greg Warner of Walker Warner, this narrative served as both the inspiration and creative framework for their home on Hawaii’s Big Island. “They gave us a book on Vastu Shastra and suggested that we review the concepts with an open mind,” Warner says. The ancient text is based on a traditional Hindu system of architecture, describing conceptual principles of spatial geometry and arrangement, assembled to integrate the architectural response with nature. The resulting design is quiet, unobtrusive and authentically spiritual.
