The project was one where we worked closely with Stephen and the process was quite seamless. Stephen was quick to respond to any questions that we had, and issues were resolved almost immediately. Stephen is very professional, and we would highly recommend him for your next project **★★★★★ — Jack Brushert, Dec. 2018** > Known Steven for a number of years through our business dealings with contractors. I supply custom windows and door packages to extremely high end residential projects and our paths periodically cross as residence owners choose Stephen Green Architecture to create a stunning new or remodeled home which gives me the opportunity to quote the project to contractor or developer. Consequently I have opportunity to interact with him throughout the construction period.. Knowledgeable and patient to work with and can highly recommend. **★★★★★ — anthony6961, July 2015** > Stephen Green Architecture was hired to design 4 model homes for our development in Belize. Stephen listened to our input and was a pleasure to work with, he was able to keep his designs within our budgeted building cost and finished the designs within our scheduled timeline. Stephen was also asked to work directly with our engineer in Belize, together they worked through the designs and ultimately all building permits were approved. After we completed those homes we also contracted Stephen to design our Marina village as well as several town homes. I highly recommend using Stephen Green, we have had nothing but a great experience. **Comment from Stephen Green Architecture, Inc.:** > Thank you Anthony and I am looking forward to working with you on the Marina Green now that it is moving forward! **★★★★ — waimeawind, July 2015** > We selected Steven Green to help with architectural plans for our new residence. The house is very modern with steel frame and lots of glass and metal siding. It is "green oriented" and off the grid. He understood our concept and pulled it all together. The permitting and construction went well. His contract was quite fait **★★★★ — thelmsclass, July 2015** > We chose Mr Stephen Green, AIA because we wanted a sustainable, modern, off-grid house. He was receptive and responsive to our ideas. In particular, he recommended a steel structural system that allowed us to maximize our expansive views. > > His contract was fair and we are very pleased with the outcome. **Comment from Stephen Green Architecture, Inc.:** > Thank you Michael, it was a pleasure to work with you and Trish! **★★★★ — cindyvh4287, July 2015** > Stephen is a very creative architect who designed a beautiful vacation home for us in Hawaii. We worked closely with Stephen for almost three years from initial concept to completion of construction. He solved some difficult design issues with solutions that fit our budget. Since we were Stephen's first major residential project on his own we encountered a few design issues which may have been avoided with more experience or third party review. We would use Stephen again in the future and have provided recommendations to several prospective customers. We would encourage anyone working with Stephen to also hire an interior designer to help address design details. **Comment from Stephen Green Architecture, Inc.:** > Thank you Cindy for the writing a review and I look forward to visiting the home again when you both are back on island. ## Selected projects - [Kauna'oa Traditional Hawaiian Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kauna-oa-traditional-hawaiian-residence-pj-vj~650456) - Location: Waimea, HI - Photos: 23 - [Hales At Kainani](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hales-at-kainani-pj-vj~1331626) - Location: Lawai, HI - Photos: 17 - [Kauna'oa Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kauna-oa-residence-pj-vj~650499) - Location: Waimea, HI - Photos: 9 - [Ka'upulehu Coral House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ka-upulehu-coral-house-pj-vj~650563) - Location: Kailua, HI - Photos: 5 - Description: Contemporary Tropical House on the Big Island of Hawaii at Ka'upulehu. - [HALE KAI LANI](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hale-kai-lani-pj-vj~5975378) - Location: Koloa, HI - Photos: 7 - [Lert Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lert-residence-pj-vj~5498169) - Location: Koloa, HI - Photos: 13 - [Midcentury Modern Tropical](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/midcentury-modern-tropical-pj-vj~1968636) - Location: Waimea, HI - Photos: 2 [See all 7 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/stephen-green-architecture-inc-pfvwus-pf~663588888) ## Ideabooks - [Mid-Century Modern Tropical](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/65625926/list/mid-century-modern-tropical) — 14 ideas - [sgainc14’s ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25086566/list/sgainc14-s-ideas) — 11 ideas - [PLANTATION STYLE](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/65625748/list/plantation-style) — 6 ideas - [Oil Paintings](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/54732343/list/oil-paintings) — 25 ideas - [LOT 25](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25086590/list/lot-25) — 10 ideas - [Albrecht Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/54731680/list/albrecht-residence) — 20 ideas [See all 6 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/sgainc14) ## Community Q&A **Q: Counter Chairs** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautiful home. Makes one happy to just thumb through the photos. I’m interested in the counter chairs as a possible addition to my outdoor kitchen. I have not seen these anywhere previously. Would you be able to provide details as to the manufacturer, or where they were purchased? Thanks so much. A: I will have to check with the owner as he was the one who purchased... **Q: what kind of wood are the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: These cabinets are white oak rift cut. We worked with Philpotts in Honolulu for the Interiors. **Q: Overhang** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the counter overhang here? TIA! A: 12"overhang --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
