Elongated Holiday Homes

Walker Warner Architects Designed a Property Named Hale Mau’u

— June 11, 2021 — Art & Design
This elongated holiday home is located on the “gentle volcanic slope of Hawaii’s Big Island.” The property is designed by San Francisco-based firm Walker Warner Architects and is named Hale Mau’u—in Hawaiian, ‘hale’ means ‘house’ while mau’u is a type of native grass.

The elongated holiday home is spread across four volumes, all of which are low rise, minimalist, and effortlessly fit into the surrounding landscape. Although presented in various styles and orientations, the distinct architectural style unites the buildings. Walker Warner Architects sought out to strategically take advantage of the natural location. Since both views of the ocean and of the mountains can be enjoyed, the designers installed sizable windows where the opportunity arose. Other parts of the houses are blocked off to ensure privacy from neighboring houses.
