Hale Kiawe: Minimalist Hawaiian Home Inspired by Vastu Shastra

Serene Japanese-inspired garden pathway leading to modern wooden structures with lush greenery.

Hale Kiawe, a harmonious retreat in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, showcases the expertise of renowned architect Walker Warner. Designed in 2021, this minimalist house embodies the principles of Vastu Shastra, an ancient Indian architectural system, to create a soulful and welcoming sanctuary for a couple seeking a permanent home in their beloved vacation destination. The design team’s thoughtful integration of the site’s natural history and the clients’ heritage has resulted in a residence that beautifully merges the built and natural environments.
