2015
2017 BIA-HAWAII RENAISSANCE OVERALL GRAND AWARD BEST NEW RESIDENCE
This house is built on a beautiful lot in one of Hawaii’s most iconic neighborhoods, developed by Boyd MacNaughton decades ago. Our client saw the potential and hired us to design a “home” for his young family. The lot fronts an amazing park, with views of Diamond Head crater.
The existing neighborhood is a classic older subdivision in the Kahala/Diamond Head area with a number of Ossipoff designed homes and other Kamaaina style homes. The idea was to “fit in” with the existing architecture yet provide the home with modern conveniences and layout.
The overall look is classic vintage Hawaiiana with steep double pitch roof. The home consists of over 3,200 square feet of total indoor/outdoor living.
In the end, all the client’s objectives were met a stylish house designed with “Passive Environmental Systems” to create a low energy, environmentally friendly home that fits the neighborhood and will provide many happy years for their family.
TESTIMONIAL
We would highly recommend Victor, of Welch and Weeks, for anyone’s home design and architectural needs. We had a phenomenal experience from start to finish. Victor designed our home from a vacant lot to completion, in a timely manner, with amazing design, detail, and project oversight. He was able to advise us in our decision making, creating the home of our dreams. The entire process was highly collaborative, and we have loved the end result due to Victors wonderful balance of aesthetic appeal and functionality. We would give the highest endorsement to Victor, of Welch and Weeks.
