Bainbridge, WA
Hale Hapuna serves as a haven meticulously crafted to enhance familial bonds and cultivate a profound connection with the stunning landscape and seascape of Kaua'i's South Shore. Its outdoor spaces boast numerous gathering areas seamlessly marrying cozy seating with awe-inspiring views of natural marvels. Amid verdant plantings, snug seating corners are tucked away, shielded by thin roof "opihi shells" that encompass outdoor lounge and dining spaces. The Primary Bedroom showcases a cantilevered lanai, appearing to hover amidst palm fronds. These communal hubs are strategically positioned to showcase the prominent natural features of Kaua'i, such as Mount Haupu and the crashing waves on Kukui’ula harbor reefs. They also beckon appreciation for atmospheric phenomena like clouds, rainbows, sunrises, and sunsets. The selected materials, including lava, limestone, coral, wood, and water, mirror the essence of Kaua'i.
