Mokulua Hillside

Prior to renovation, this large, existing hillside home in Lanikai had great potential but suffered from partially obstructed views, piecemeal design elements, and a general lack of character inside and out. The goals then were to add warmth, comfort, and charm, to open the interior spaces and pool area to the incredible views and to achieve a more human scale given the existing high ceilings.
