The soul of this house is beginning to show.
1x6 T&G cypress siding going in at our Hawi project on the Big Island.
Warm, durable, and beautifully responsive to light — a material that will weather with grace.

Designed for place. Built for time.

This home in Kohala is beginning to stand strong — shaped with care, intention, and deep respect for the land.
And this view… pure aloha, pure gratitude.

I love a good before & after! I designed this porch addition years ago, and it remains one of those projects that makes me smile every time I see it.

It completely changed how this home feels — from closed-off and un-inviting to warm, welcoming, and full of life.

A small, thoughtful architectural change can transform the whole spirit of a house. Sometimes it’s not about adding more square footage… it’s about adding soul.

If you’ve been imagining ways to make your home feel more inviting — porch, entry, or backyard ADU — I’d love to help bring that vision to life.

Thinking about adding an ADU?
Here are 4 simple ways to configure additional homes on your property:

1️⃣ One Detached ADU – A small home, separate from your main residence.
2️⃣ Two Detached ADUs – Yes, you can have two! Great for multi-generational living or rental income.
3️⃣ Attached ADU + Detached ADU – One connected to your main home, plus one separate.
4️⃣ Duplex – Two units built together as one building.

✨ ADUs create flexibility: a home for family, rental income, or downsizing while staying on your property.

Excited to see this article highlighting the ‘Lumen’ ADU, a 2-bedroom, 1-bath, I designed. It is now a Registered Plan for streamlined permitting in the City of Bellingham. This drawing set has both architectural and structural, only a Siteplan is required and it’s Permit-Ready. Purchase and download the set off of my website for $999.
