Located amid jungle-capped cliffs and towering peaks, this architectural gem harmonizes with its natural surroundings in Hanalei Bay. “The home provides a peaceful respite in the midst of the hubbub of Hanalei Bay,” says Kathy Scott, partner at Walker Warner (walkerwarner.com). “There’s something wonderful about the way the house wraps around the courtyard, ensuring you’re rarely more than a few steps from the cooking waters of the pool.” The lanai kitchen stuns with an oval dimensional ceramic tile with opal blue finish for its backsplash.

The U-shaped layout features a sloping shed roof with clerestory windows, allowing natural light to flow throughout the interior. The courtyard and lanai sit nestled between walls clad in the understated charcoal tones of Shou Sugi Ban wood siding. Seamlessly integrating form and function, every detail adds to the home’s cohesive aesthetic.

Honey-hued wooden slats adorn the facade, complementing the warmth of the ipe wood deck. This inviting outdoor space provides a tranquil vantage point to appreciate the sights and sounds of the island while taking a dive into the refreshing pool. The charred wood exterior extends inside, blurring the lines between indoors and out through an interplay of light and shadows across the 4,156 square feet of living space. Pops of colorful decor enliven the neutral interior palette. “We love that the house has the modern hipness of Palm Springs, but with a Hawaiian tropical fl air and an intense, rich palette of colors and materials,” says Scott.

This home fosters a sense of community with its expansive, welcoming front gates. When open, they beckon passersby inside the serene oasis yet ensure privacy when closed. It’s a peaceful surf retreat and neighborhood gathering space unlike any other on Weke Road.
