This Hawaiian home takes nature to the interior by highlighting custom items like concrete bathtubs and sinks. The large, pocket doors create the walls to this home--walls that can be added and removed as desired. This Kukio home rests on the sunny side of the Big Island and serves as a perfect example of our style, blending the outdoors with the inside of a home.

Our Hero Stool was custom made here by using an exotic wood type that is water resistant due to its natural oils present in the grain. This piece was designed to be used in spaces with high humidity, such as shower cabins or greenhouses.

The ballpit is wedged between both of the "cabins" and features a slide accessible from the left "cabin". The large green structure above is a covered bridge that goes from one cabin to the other. The ballpit is made by a company called Wesco, which manufacturers day care and childcare equipment. All "playground" type equipment (swings, large slide, monkey bars, rock climbing stones) are from HomeDepot.com Note the "Jungle Grocery" sign, this was just some left over wood that I "aged" with sanding, grinding, painting and dry brushing. The letters are just wood letters from Michaels craft store, spray painted green and glued on. The bamboo siding edges and corners are sourced from Texture Plus, who specialize in faux siding materials.

A kitchen meant to entertain. We capitalized on the ample sunlight entering through the fenestrations in the kitchen. We wanted the space to be bright yet feel one with nature. Bringing in ochre and green, we got a complimentary palette that was complete with the patterned backsplash that gave a sense of character and charm to the space. The details are transitional - a little bit of classic and a lot of contemporary.
