FeaturedHale Akoakoa Residence: Vernacular Design in Hawaii

Discover the Hale Akoakoa Residence in Kauai, Hawaii, a striking example of vernacular architecture by Eerkes Architects. This unique house is masterfully perched on a hillside, offering breathtaking views of the South Shore.

Designed as a trio of interconnected ‘islands’, it harmoniously integrates with the challenging topography. The central island, hosting the main living areas and a chic swimming pool, stands proudly along the ridge’s center. Encircled by two bedroom wings, the Primary Suite overlooks a tranquil valley, while the guest rooms enjoy sunrise and vast ocean vistas.
