Waikoloa Village Waikoloa Village, HI

Client: Holmby Taisei Development Corporation

This very linear 22-acre site is set within the 2,500-acre master planned Waikoloa Resort community. Surrounded by golf courses on three sides, this 219-unit condominium project presents a contemporary interpretation of "Hawaiian Plantation" architecture through the clustering of units within gently off-setting forms marked by hipped pyramidal roofs and clean, simple lines. Each unit is positioned to take advantage of the golf course and distant water panoramas.

Through the use of serpentine building forms, the various unit configurations open up views and permit dramatic formalized entry statements for each plan. This footprint provides an opportunity to articulate building forms architecturally, while avoiding large continuous masses along the fairways.

Each building contains 18 flats in a three-story configuration, with resident and guest parking in a one-level semi-subterranean garage. Access to each unit is via exterior lanais overlooking atria gardens. Lush tropical landscaping is carried as if there were no line of demarcation between fairway and property.
