Originally designed by renowned Hawaii architect Vladimir Ossipoff in 1952, the home featured low sloping roofs, clerestory windows, deep overhangs and natural materials.

The renovation objectives were to embrace the original Ossipoff design, while contemporizing key interior spaces, enhancing the attached guest cottage, and further invigorating the indoor-outdoor living areas with the addition of a pool and spa, as well as an expanded covered lanai and outdoor kitchen.
