The Peak of Imagination
Architecture and design reach new heights of ingenuity in this 2019 featured home.
Futuristic curves and arches, glistening floor-to-ceiling windows, ultra-luxe indoor-outdoor amenities — the remarkable elements in this Maui residence make it an enduring favorite among Hawaii Home + Remodeling readers. The project won the Editor’s Choice honor in the 2019 BIA-Hawaii Building Industry Design and Construction Awards and was spotlighted in a cover story in our November issue that year.
“Ambitious” is an understatement when describing the over-the-top design by Marc Taron of Arquitectura. The homeowners’ vision for a unique dwelling pushed the creative boundaries of Taron’s Valley Isle architectural firm, resulting in an ingenious, ocean-inspired home that invites guests and passersby to share in its spectacular views of the Pacific.
“I look at the house itself as a piece of art, and that’s why it was important for the ocean to be a part of that artwork,” the homeowner said in the original print story.
Modern, sculptural and open, the residence pays homage to Hawaii’s shores with sophisticated shapes and finishes. Outside, a bold arch serves as support for the cantilever lanai and provides shade for a guest bedroom — the arch crests above the roofline and adds to the effect of “rolling waves” represented by the roof’s curves. This architectural theme is also carried inside the home with lofty curved ceilings and striking arched beams amid a palette of sea greens, sandy beiges and refreshing whites.
Expansive windows and strategically positioned Fleetwood doors allow natural light and breezes in while seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. The great room, kitchen, dining and living areas are designed with open layouts that flow into the pool deck area for effortless entertaining and repose.
“I’m always amazed at how beautiful it is,” said the homeowner’s wife. “It’s so unique. It’s just beautiful.”
