Belzberg Architects<\/strong>, a Santa Monica based studio, teamed up with the interior design studio MLK Studio<\/strong> to create a geometric masterpiece in Hawaii<\/strong>. This dazzling home, called Kona Residence<\/strong>, was completed a few years ago in 2010 and already won\u00a0the Freestanding Award from Interior Design Magazine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An Hawaiian Treasure<\/h2>\n

Nestled between cooled lava flows, the Kona residence<\/strong> situates its axis not with the linearity of the property, but rather with the axiality of predominant views available to the site.\u00a0 Within the dichotomy of natural elements and a geometric hardscape, the residence integrates both the surrounding views of volcanic mountain ranges to the east and ocean horizons westward.<\/p>\n

The Kona residence<\/strong>\u00a0is arranged as a series of pods distributed throughout the property, each having its own unique features and view opportunities.\u00a0 The pods are programmatically assigned as two sleeping pods with common areas, media room, master suite and main living space. An exterior gallery corridor becomes the organizational and focal feature for the entire house, connecting the two pods along a central axis.<\/p>\n

Almost every detail of the house is created upon the Hawaiian tradition.\u00a0<\/b>The entry pavilion, for example, reflects the traditional gift upon arrival ceremony. Moreover, various digitally sculpted wood ceilings and screens, throughout the house, continue the abstract approach to traditional Hawaiian<\/strong> wood carving further infusing traditional elements into the contemporary arrangement.<\/p>\n

An Eco-friendly Residence<\/h2>\n

To help maintain the environmental sensitivity of the Kona residence<\/strong>, Belzberg Architects\u00a0<\/strong>created\u00a0two separate arrays of roof mounted photovoltaic panels to offset the residence energy usage while the choice of darker lava stone help heat the pool water via solar radiation.<\/p>\n

Rain water collection and redirection to three drywells that replenish the aquifer are implemented throughout the property. Reclaimed teak timber from old barns and train tracks are recycled for the exterior of the home.<\/p>\n

Finally, coupled with stacked and cut lava rock, the two materials form a historically driven medium embedded in Hawaiian tradition<\/strong>. In short, the Kona Residence<\/strong> is the perfect residence combining\u00a0contemporary design and traditional elements.<\/p>\n
