Ketchum, ID
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.
