The Palms Wailea Renovation
2022
Wailea, Maui
This second home condominium was in original condition. Our clients wanted an update to the kitchen and three baths to better reflect their lifestyle. After reviewing several preliminary options presented by Marshall Design Studio, it was decided to keep the materials consistent and in context with the omnipresent exterior environment. Our design goal was to introduce minimum material transitions from room to room and from interior to exterior. The space now feels cool and expansive with focus on the fabulous Wailea ocean view.
The Challenge
The existing space consisted of two bedrooms and three full baths. The entire interior was in dated condition with badly executed details. Bad lighting contributed to the dark and dated interior.
Our clients are avid bikers and needed interior storage designed for their bikes during their time away. There were several arbitrary raised ceiling areas, creating unnecessary visual noise.
The Solution
We rebuilt the kitchen to better position appliances. We maximized kitchen storage with several full height cabinets — opening the volume of the space by removing clumsy upper cabinets. We removed an awkward peninsula, instead adding an island with more storage and countertop dining, improving circulation. The completed space consists of (2) bedrooms both with adjoining bathrooms. We added an additional large closet, specifically designed for bike storage. The existing third full bath was rebuilt as a powder room with a large laundry and utility closet. We simplified the ceiling plane and re-designed lighting throughout this home.

“Our recently purchased circa 1992 condo needed a rethink of the kitchen and three bathrooms. We needed to find some interior concealed space for our bikes. We did some research to find a design firm on Maui that we felt compatible with who would work with our ideas., design aesthetics, and budget. Jane brought classic design options to our renovated Maui home and created a seamless transition from interior to exterior spaces that complimented our island lifestyle. She also worked closely with our contractor as our representative throughout construction. Jane managed most of the sourcing on our behalf. We love all the changes we made.”
