The Kona Residence in Hawaii incorporates wood into it’s
architecture in many different unique and elegant ways, from the entrance
canopy to some aesthetics. Designed by Beizberg Architects, the residence
attempts to integrate both the surrounding views of volcanic mountain ranges
and views of the ocean. Reclaimed teak
timber from older barns and train tracks are recycled for the exterior of the
home. 3-D modeling and digital fabrication through a CNC machine was
incorporated to further enhance traditional elements. Local basket weaving
culture was the inspiration for the entry pavilion. CNC milled ceilings and
screens throughout the house continue the abstract approach to traditional
Hawaiian wood carving.
