This is pole house traditional construction, like a canoe hale. Hale means house. Large extending dickey roofs over expansive lanai's that capture the view of the West Maui mountains the south and north shores of Maui. We demolished the entire kitchen and segmented breakfast nook-expanded the exterior wall out 7 ft and filled in with new appliances, cabinet layouts, center island etc. For Chef Craig Anderson-long time a GM of Westin hotels, started as an executive chef. We also designed it around the massive stone fireplace in the living area-enjoying the hale giant ceilings spaces as well.

The interior of a Hawaiian pole house shows off expansive wood ceilings. The post and beam construction allows windows and doors wherever you want at the perimeter to capture all of those ocean (Kai) and mountain (Mauka) views. This client had an eclectic style mixing Asian, Hawaiian, etc. Doreen is an amazing orchid grower as you can see from the magnificent orchid on this farm table.
