Built into the side of a mountain in Honolulu, the Ehupua House combines exceptional architecture with stunning views.
The home was originally built by the famous architect Sid Snyder in 1969, undergoing a large renovation to modernize the entire space while still keeping the integrity of the traditional space intact. The majority of the interior was built around a central courtyard, with large sliding glass doors to open the house completely to the outside. Using rustic materials and a light color scheme, the entire home has a unique aesthetic that is both comfortable yet modern.
The Ehupua House has four private bedrooms with largely glazed panels that add unparalleled views of the Pacific coast to each part of the home.
