Product Description

From dramatic oceanfront homes to old cottages full of memories, Hawaiian houses combine architecture and location to create a sense of relaxation. As people from all over the world (Polynesians, New England missionaries, East and Southeast Asians) have put down roots in the islands, they have combined international motifs with a more traditional Hawaiian ambiance—to produce an informally eclectic style that is perfectly suited to contemporary lifestyles.

The Hawaiian House Now takes the reader on a tour of 21 specially photographed homes throughout the islands of Oahu, Hawaii (the Big Island), Maui, and Kauai, including houses that update the “aloha spirit” of traditional Hawaii; town houses in Honolulu; country houses; fantasy houses that express a personal vision; houses that blend the indoors and outdoors; original architectural statements; and, of course, beach houses.

Great Gift!
A coffee table book that I actually enjoyed paging through. Beautiful houses and good insight on some of Hawaii's history - was a great gift for my family in California.

Great Design Book
Everyone I've bought this book for has ended up buying other copies for their friends in turn. The photography and text are full of ideas you'll want to integrate into your own home, with a variety of Island styles that offers something for everyone.
