ABOVE & FACING PAGE: Alongside an 1801 lava flow on the leeward coast of Hawaii, this residence was designed as modern island architecture that connects the owner to nature,
region, and culture. Counter-intuitive to the master-planned property, the home's living spaces orient to the glancing coastal views on a bias to the property lines. The spaces of
the home are organized as a series of interlocking separate pavilions, which result in a strong use of negative space between pavilions—the Japanese concept of 'Ma.' In spite of
the design challenge of the master planning, orienting the living spaces on the bias resulted in a much richer experiential atmosphere to the design.
