This custom home is derived from Chinese symbolism. The color red symbolizes luck, happiness and joy in the Chinese culture. The number 8 is the most prosperous number in Chinese culture. A custom 8 branch tree is showcased on an island in the pool and a red wall serves as the background for this piece of art. The home was designed in a L-shape to take advantage of the lake view from all areas of the home. The open floor plan features indoor/outdoor living with a generous lanai, three balconies and sliding glass walls that transform the home into a single indoor/outdoor space.

This client global lifestyle and cultural background was influential in guiding our material selections. My job was to pair their finish desires with a modern influence that would be both beautiful and elegant. We made use of a softer palette, opting for whites, creams, and pale apricots in the powder bathroom.

Original paintings, sculptures, and unique handcrafted art pieces by Hawaii artists such as Robin McCoy, Bill Crane, Frank Pullano, Coco, Avi Kiriaty, and Christian Riso, are enhanced by Sara’s selection of boldly colored rugs and fabrics. A fresh neutral paint color and matching window treatments set a soft, unifying background. In the guest bedroom, clever bamboo wall panels protect from scuffs and suitcase damage while adding an organic tropical texture.
