Hawaii Garden

This sophisticated garden began as a development house reimagined from the ground up. The ground floor was faced in lava rock to evoke ancient Hawaiian fortifications, while a series of orchestrated experiences unfold throughout—a zigzag bridge modeled after samurai crossings, yellow koi swimming beneath blue water lilies, a meditation garden where a Buddha gazes across to the library terrace, plaster walls rubbed with native soil to create the patina of centuries. Native hibiscus and rare endemic species—some propagated from a single specimen—weave through every layer, blurring the line between luxury and regeneration so completely that neither compromises the other.
