The custom steel stair fabricated by Bone Structure is offset from the travertine wall to diffuse light through it and encourage relaxation and reflection at the lower level. Under stair areas can often feel dark or oppressive - the open stair at the Haiku Home was designed to yield an almost-monastic effect.
Cedar plank ceilings were finished with a custom treatment developed by the homeowners. The ceilings offer warmth and texture while avoiding darkening or busying the spaces as wood ceilings often do.
Wood elements in the project: slats, millwork, engineered flooring, and ceilings were selected to offer varying wood tones unique to their application.

The Haiku House is designed to feature spectacular views, showcase a robust art collection, and provide a comfortable retirement lifestyle to its occupants. Early intentions were set to optimize for both north and south views: to the North are the property’s horse pasture, orchards, and ocean view beyond, while the South presented a distant peak view of Maui’s Haleakalā volcano.
As a visitor to the home, you’re greeted by a large pivot entry door, obscuring the dramatic ocean view beyond. The entry divides the home into two distinct wings, one for private use and the other for entertaining. In the few moments where the two wings connect, exterior courtyard gardens frame views between interior spaces and encourage reflection.
