Dream Home in Maui

I hope you had a great weekend, It has been cold and sunny all weekend and I love it! This is my favorite kind of winter weather, by far.

This year for Christmas my sister gave me the book Tom Kundig: Houses 2 and I am so happy to have a new addition to my library for design and architectural inspiration. I found the architecture of this Dream Home in Maui particularly inspiring and wanted to share it with you today:

Located on top of a craggy Maui cliff...

It takes a lot of thought and planning to create a design that blends into the landscape and I think the architects achieved that with this home.

The architecture is so simple, perfect for Maui.

The floor plan has three distinct zones: a guest quarter at the left,
the main living area in the center and a master suite on the right all separated by enclosed walkways.

Each of the living spaces open out onto the back lawn and pool with amazing views of the ocean!

Lots of outdoor living space is perfect for the tropics...

The two walls on the main living area open up completely connecting the outside to the living area.

A view out to the ocean...what a perfect place to entertain a large amount of people!


A view with the window wall closed...


And open...

The kitchen island extends out from the kitchen and also serves as an outdoor table.
(Looks almost like a diving board from this angle!)


The interiors look simple and easy to maintain perfect design for a vacation home...
...and you know how I love those sliding doors!

I hope you enjoyed this Maui home and find it inspiring. Thank you for stopping by today and have a good week!
