Sky’s the Limit with All Things New
Artistry and ambition take flight.
Like master composers putting together finely tuned pieces of music from thoughtfully arranged notes and rhythms, the team of builders at All Things New strives to craft local homes with beauty, harmony and flow.
Company co-founder Richie Breaux says no architectural plan or conceptual vision is beyond the scope of what ATN can build. Serpentine staircases, angular archways and luxe legacy abodes are among the ambitious list of features and projects Breaux and the ATN team have embraced and successfully executed.
“Architects and homeowners ask, ‘Can people actually do what I design?’” says Breaux. “‘Can it be done? And can it be done within a budget?’ We can make it happen. We don’t fear the challenge. Nothing’s off-limits.”
Ethereal ceiling arches and a spectacularly constructed grand curvilinear staircase are among the showstopping features in this two-story residence.
Artistry and teamwork are hallmarks of ATN, with Breaux’s experience guiding the building firm’s collaborations with engineers, architects, designers and homeowners to bring big ideas to life. Every detail is deftly handled as ATN applies innovative problem-solving with aesthetic solutions, sound construction practices and functional integrity.
“The builder is like the quarterback” on a football team, says Breaux. “You need a quarterback to coordinate the possibilities and execute.”
To showcase its fresh approach to new home builds and renovations, ATN recently launched a “collections” photo series on its Instagram page (@atnhawaii). “The collections are a way of presenting our art,” says Breaux, “like a curated gallery reveal, sneaker drop or album release. It revolves around the team — each project allows us to see what the next step of growth is and expand what we can do.”
Collaboration and artistry are key to building beautiful bespoke spaces, says ATN co-founder Richie Breaux. Here, an elegant bath is infused with a touch of nature through sleek wood ceiling panels, refined finishes and a spectacular view.
The first “project release” collection in 2024 spotlighted “Leahi,” this stunning villa-inspired residence. Leahi is the Hawaiian name for Diamond Head, which serves as the “backyard” of this expansive estate. Breaux describes the project as a “large-scale remodel,” which was intriguing as a “historical piece of Oahu that drew us in.”
“It allowed us to step out of the boundaries [of design] and still remain coastal at the same time,” he explains.
Classic villa vibes flow through this stunning breezeway with airy curves and earthy hues reminiscent of Mediterranean architecture.
With the homeowner’s ideas, and plans drawn up by frequent ATN collaborator Andrew Forman of Blueprint808 Architecture, Breaux and his crew went to work on building the nuanced spaces that make this abode one of a kind. Outside, arched doorways “create a true entryway,” says Breaux, with an ethereal breezeway that “feels like you’re transported to a different place,” and a loggia for meditation time amid the island’s trade winds. Inside is an integrated custom sauna and gym, and a primary bedroom that opens up to a lanai facing the sea.
Perhaps the most stellar feature in Leahi is its breathtaking staircase, a feat of construction, engineering and architecture. Breaux says he’s extremely proud of the project team for crafting it to precision.
Capturing the essence of Hawaii’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle, this lounge area opens to panoramas of the Honolulu skyline with cozy swing-seating and breezy furnishings.
“Being able to make that curve to perfection is difficult to execute,” he says. “It’s the reward — the moment when all your ideas come to fruition. As a team, ATN gets into the details all the way to the final project to bring out a masterpiece. We turn ambitious visions into remarkable realities.”
