Kula Maui House Renovation
Overview
This home is located on a remarkable 9-acre property. It is surrounded by steep slopes on three sides which allows unobstructed stunning views of both Maui coasts, three offshore islands, and the entire majestic presence of Haleakala. It is a very special place ‘upcountry’ on the island of Maui.
The Challenge
The partially finished house was in a raw state and not properly insulated. It was very uncomfortable on warm days. There was no clear path to the front entry creating awkward surprise encounters with strangers and deliveries at several existing exterior door locations. There was no master bedroom.
The Solution
Except for sections of kitchen cabinetry, we demolished the interior of both buildings. The new interior was completed with code-compliant insulation, smart home wiring, and an off-grid energy infrastructure. The connecting hall which bridged the two buildings was removed completely and replaced with a new light-filled dedicated entry foyer. Along with strategic landscaping, there is now no confusion about where to find the front door.

It is an amazing transformation, the house is dominated by the beautiful Maui landscape during the day, but once the sun goes down, and the windows turn black, the house is totally transformed by the lighting design. All the attention goes to the wonderful details in the house. It’s like having a different house once the sun goes down.
