  - Location: Kailua, HI

  - Description: Situated on the Big Island of Hawaii, this 6,500 s.f. residence is spread out between four different buildings, in which three are under one roof. In this context, the placement of "solids" and "voids" and the harmony or tension between them becomes very important. In working with David Tamura, landscape architect, we wanted to embrace the natural surroundings and have it feel as though it flowed through the house.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What is the exact color of this pebble tech?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am building a pool and need to pick out my Pebble Tech color, and love this color! Is it Mini Pebble Tech? Would it happen to be Aqua Blue? Thanks....

A: The finish of the pool is Bissaza mosaic tile from northern Italy (bissaza.it).

**Q: how much approximately infinity pool cost** *(in Photo Questions)*

How much approximately infinity pool cost

A: The potion of a pool that has an infinity edge is approximately $1,000/ linear foot (on Maui).  This would be added to the cost of your normal pool.

**Q: Love the area rug! Where can I buy it?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Sorry, I have not been to my site lately.  The interior designer for the project was Henderson Design Group out of San Francisco.  Go to their Houzz to inquire.  Aloha.

**Q: Is that a custom fridge with matching cabinet doors or a pantry?** *(in Photo Questions)*

On the far side of the kitchen, behind the island (not the room in the back with the wine fridges)?

A: Sorry I have not been to the site in a long time.  Standard Sub-Zero refrigerators with the cabinet face wood veneer.  Aloha, Rick

**Q: Gorgeous** *(in Photo Questions)*

No question - Just want to commend you for such beautiful work.  The Bali House project is one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen.

A: Sorry, I have not been to the site in a long time.  Thank you for your kind remark.  It is nice to know others appreciate your work.  Happy Holidays, Rick

**Q: Infinity Pool material** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love the infinity pool outside edge material.  What is it?  Thanks!

A: See previous response on main pool.  Same tile.
