Hale Moku
Hale Moku is a celebration of the home’s prominent, waterfront location adjacent to Koko Marina. Due to the owner’s love of boating, a modern “boat house” design theme emerged, intended to be both playful and sophisticated. The house’s material and color palette was fashioned after vintage Chris-Craft boats. Nautical light fixtures add appropriate detail for effect throughout, and the use of ocean colored glass tiles expand the sense of view and lighten and brighten otherwise dark spaces. The house’s central great room ceiling was raised to create a curved ceiling like that of a boat hull. The marina-facing wall was completely opened.
