Where the horizon fades into the endless Pacific, you are enveloped in the boundless beauty of the coastline.
Tucked alongside the golden sands of Makena Beach, this guesthouse echoes its counterpart. Though similar in form, it exudes a distinctly casual aura, centered on a refined sense of comfort. Its unassuming, relaxed atmosphere invites you to embrace tranquility.
“It’s not just a guesthouse—it’s an extension of the main living and entertaining experience, seamlessly integrating into the larger site.”
The architecture flourishes in the island’s ever-changing light. A boardwalk, flanked by greenery and an inset water feature, guides you to the heart of the space. Slivers of sunlight peek through eucalyptus branches overhead, casting long shadows across the exterior and emphasizing its horizontality.
“I think of design in terms of migration and discovery. Rooms have to have their own voice and purpose to draw you to them and nurture the daily rituals that take place within them.”
“The main house has a high level of rigor and detail; it’s fully buttoned up. The guest quarters, which don’t have such a heavy lift as far as program, are more casual, a bit rougher, more playful.”
A terraced yard strengthens the bond between the two structures, while lush plantings weave the built environment into the natural surroundings. Nearby, a vintage Airstream blends into the landscape, offering guests a taste of adventure without ever leaving the property.
The connection to the landscape is ever-present. From the lanai, a sweeping view of the ocean stretches westward, its vibrant blue waters reaching into the distance. With three guest suites and a spacious great room, the home offers endless opportunities for entertaining, as well as moments of repose.
