Honolulu’s skyline is set to welcome an exciting new addition with The Launiu, the latest residential project at Ward Village. Designed by internationally acclaimed architecture firm Arquitectonica, this 40-story tower will bring a fresh, modern aesthetic to Honolulu’s coveted South Shore.

Bernardo Fort-Brescia, founding principal at Arquitectonica, explains, “The natural beauty of O‘ahu served as our primary design inspiration for The Launiu. With the neutral-toned façade and soft rippling exterior created by balconies, we sought to pay homage to the surrounding environment through an interpretative, elemental design that conveys movement, emulating the effects of water, wind or markings in the sand. The resulting concept is organic yet contemporary.”
This luxurious development will feature 486 condominium residences, ranging from studios to three bedrooms, many with lanais to embrace indoor-outdoor living. With interiors by ODADA and landscaping by VITA, The Launiu promises to be a harmonious blend of luxury and island living in the heart of Honolulu. thelauniuwardvillage.com/#register, [email protected], 808.369.9600
