After honeymooning on the Garden Isle, a Seattle-based couple fell in love with Kauai and made it a regular retreat. Years later, they found the perfect property in Kealia Kai to build a second home—a private haven to share with family and friends.

​

Perched atop an eastern bluff and surrounded by lush tropical landscape, the custom residence captures the spirit of classic Hawaiian Plantation-style architecture, reimagined with modern sensibility. Double-pitched roofs enhance the home’s graceful silhouette, while sheltering a lifestyle that flows effortlessly between indoors and out.

​

Lava rock walls add both texture and a deep sense of place. Handcrafted mahogany finishes bring richness, warmth, and a subtle contrast to the home’s light-filled spaces. Expansive lanais blur the boundaries between architecture and nature, offering a seamless blend of elegance and island ease.

Every detail—from design to construction—was thoughtfully considered to celebrate local craftsmanship, natural materials, and the timeless beauty of Kauai.
