This $23 Million Honolulu Home Fuses Japanese and American Design With a Heavy Dose of High Fashion

High-fashion meets picturesque views in this rare modern home in HonoluluHawaii, listed for $23 million. The owner, a socialite and designer, and her husband, a scion to a prominent Japanese family, have lived in Hawaii for decades. Honolulu served as the perfect home base for the couple, who used to spend half the year in Japan. When they first found this specific property in a private, gated community, the owner says it was “destiny.”

“We first walked through the home with architect Jeff Long when it was being built and thought it was the most fabulous place,” she says. “The lot was incredible and the views were insane. We bought it within a few days. After Covid-19, we gutted the house and redid everything. It was well-built and had great bones. Now, it’s totally up to date and beautiful.”

Architectural Digest Dec. 2022 Touches of Asian art and architecture fuse a shoji-style wall of glass with modern influences as well as the owner’s treasured collection of antiques and inspirational furnishings. Photo by Andrea Brizzi Photography.

For Jeffrey T. Long, AIA, President and CEO of Longhouse Design + Build, Hawaii isn’t just a place. To him it’s a feeling, an expression, a lifestyle that has evolved over his many years practicing architecture in the islands. That belief forms the foundation for each of his firm’s custom homes, beginning with an authentic appreciation for the islands’ history and culture.

“Our principles of understanding the environment and respecting the roles of the ocean, the sun, and the trade winds are how we accentuate the beauty of the location with our design,” says Long. Underpinning this process is a collection of historical, archeological, and cultural experts who help guide the 20-person team.

Because Longhouse Design + Build is a full-service firm, Long and his team maintain an intimate level of quality control at every phase. A streamlined development process aids in not only timeliness and cost control, but also brings peace of mind for all involved. “Because everything is inhouse, we work in lockstep with our architects, (SMA/EA) planners, and general contracting divisions,” he says. “When we have the perfect combination of the ideal lot, location, and team, the result can be miraculous.”
 

Contemporary Hawaiian design greets visitors at the entry of a recently built 7,500- square-foot oceanfront home, alongside hints of midcentury modern and an intention of transparency. Open spaces give immediate ease and familiarity, while a floating glass bridge at the entry brings a sense of arrival, internal animation, and excitement.
 

In Long’s trademark sweeping two-story living room, walls of cut coral frame bronze finished storefront windows that put the ocean on full display, leading the eyes outward to relish the home’s breathtaking island location. The home’s lines are clean and uncomplicated, and such simplicity is strategic to their vision.
 

“There’s a dramatic discipline and simple elegance to the home,” says Long. “It’s about creating a structure that serves as a refined piece of art, while offering a home that provides comfort and ultimately the exhale of relaxation.”

Hawaii Loa Ridge Residence, Star Advertiser featured April 16, 2017 Just inside the secured gate of Hawaii Loa Ridge, situated on a 24,775 square foot lot on Puuikena Drive, is a spectacular indoor-outdoor home designed to take advantage of unobstructed, panoramic ocean views. Architecturally elegant with broad open spaces, sculptural detailing, and soaring ceilings, the structure articulates the classic timelessness of masonry construction. With five bedrooms and five and a half baths on two levels, the roofed area is a spacious 5,300 square feet augmented by lanais. The grand hall, with formal and informal dining areas, opens to the expansive deck with a swimming pool, spa, and manicured gardens.   Marble, tile, and hardwood finishes are enhanced by natural illumination admitted by walls of glass and skylights. The home is priced at $5,800,000 and shown by appointment by Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties Realtor Kainoa Lee.

Architects’ Design Statement

Strict design guidelines with height limitations, minimum roof pitches, setbacks and view corridors were observed in the design of this contemporary home nestled at the base of Hawaii Loa Ridge.  The goal was to design a home offering a fresh, new contemporary style that fit within the context of the neighborhood.

Precise design studies and creativity maximized the plan and the aesthetics.  The home would need to be cut into the sloped site, so a large retaining wall was planned on the mauka side.  With no neighbors on the lower end of the site, the house and pool were oriented to take full advantage of the natural ventilation and unobstructed views. Utility areas were arranged along the retaining wall while the kitchen fl owed into the grand hall and dining with a guest suite sharing in the ocean views. Expectations were exceeded with the roof requirements as the double-pitched hip roofs were achieved in addition to a fl at roof area for the solar water heater panels and skylights strategically located for natural lighting.

Exterior finishes included a heavyweight concrete tile roof in a charcoal color with copper gutters and downspouts and a smooth, hand troweled synthetic stucco on the walls and soffits. Bronze colored aluminum doors and windows and aluminum garage doors with opaque glass and a hint of cedar on the exterior columns completed the contemporary style.

The nine-foot-tall corner-pocketing doors span 18 feet in each direction and disappear into the walls, allowing the Grand Hall to open directly to over 600 square feet of pool and dining lanais. A column is offset from its typical location creating a cantilevered overhang shielding the south-facing interiors, further enhancing the indoor-outdoor living experience.  Above, an interior bridge connects the mauka and makai wings as it looks down into the Grand Hall and beyond toward an ocean of blue.

Open spaces and clean lines, absent of traditional moldings and trims, with a simple palette of neutral colors and textures add to the sophistication of the design. Travertine floors are complemented by the warmth of the mahogany doors and bamboo flooring seamlessly into the ocean horizon. With the ocean at its front door, this contemporary home strikes the perfect balance between originality and preserving the natural design characteristics of the Ridge.

Maui Residence, Star Advertiser featured March 12, 2017 Three Kapalua Place is one of only four beachfront homes in Kapalua.  The 6,630-square foot home, situated on a 28,000-square foot lot in a gated community, has been named “Best Beach Home” by Ocean Home Magazine and is featured on the Discovery Channel’s Destination America show, “Epic Beach Homes.”  The luxurious six bed room, six and a half bath two story home was designed by Long and Associates Architects & Interiors and is being offered at $19,900,000 by Dean Otto, a Realtor at KW Island Living.

Architect’s Design Statement

3 Kapalua Maui, Custom Luxury Beach Front home designed by Jeff Long of Longhouse Design+Build

No home has procured a better setting in the resort than 3 Kapalua Place. It was designed to provide a sense of discovery as you walk through the home experiencing spectacular ocean, coastal, and Neighbor Island views from every room.  The tasteful use of island inspired materials, subtlety of ceiling treatments, and the architects’ appreciation for an underlying textural context further enhance the experience.

Anointed with exceptional craftsmanship throughout, the dramatic two story living room features two opposing 18-foot tall corner pocket-ing wood doors that electrically open to ocean views across the infinity edge pool and spa. 

The property, bordered by one of the most spectacular shore break bays on the island, was perfect for establishing key views from inside the home and incorporating cross ventilation and natural lighting, and at the same time challenging for selecting materials suitable for the abrasive, coastal conditions. 

the north-south direction, the house is positioned with its “protective shoulders” facing south awarding the Grand Hall a breathtaking panorama of wave action along the coast.  The kitchen, dining and upper bedroom suites extend out from the Grand Hall core, embracing the pool and barbecue lanai and protecting these out-door living areas from the sometimes-strong northeasterly trade winds.

The home reveals itself in a subtle manner with a brick-paved driveway leading to an intimate porte cochere entry and the main two-story structure featuring a natural slate roof with copper gutters, cedar trim, and hand carved, decorative stone railings from Bali.  The outside entryway pays homage to ancient Hawaii with a wall mounted custom-made Polynesian stick chart metal sculpture, once used by early seafarers as a navigational tool for locating various island routes.   Upon entering the home the adjacent curved glass and sapele mahogany stair winds up to an arterial balcony that overlooks the Grand Hall and leads to four upper suites and endless views. 

Locally-sourced Kapalua blue rock serves as the foundation to the exterior structural columns and also wraps the walls of the Grand Hall revealing the doubled cantilevered structure as the 18-foot tall, motorized wood doors disappear into the corner pockets. 

Stainless steel appliances, Sapele cabinetry, onyx countertops and bronze fixtures complete the refined, island design.  One of the many centerpieces of the home is the free-standing, hand carved, black granite soaking tub in the master suite.  Set in black beach pebbles, the tub required a crane to hoist it in place during construction.

The technically savvy owner required the home be equipped with the latest smart-home technologies, programmable from any mobile device and remotely managed. Lighting, security, HVAC, sound system, window coverings, pool and spa, were all part of the system which serves as a means for reducing energy costs and enabling control of utility usage and mechanical systems from anywhere in the world. 

The innovative design coupled with traditional Hawaiian sentiments delivers distinction among uniformity qualifying Three Kapalua Place as the perfect, private, island luxury retreat.

Portlock Residence, Star Advertiser featured February 26, 2017 Portlock, Oahu, HawaiiAn exceptional Portlock Road home, known as the “Sundial House,” has been listed by Locations Realtor and Partner Dolores Bediones at $13,500,000. The luxury residence, designed by Jeffrey T. Long AIA, received two top awards in HGTV’s  “Ultimate House Hunt,” winning in the waterfront homes category and voted #1 Listing Overall among international competitors. The 25,024-square-foot property, with 125 linear feet on the ocean, incorporates a heated swimming pool, spa, sport court, and gardens with a stairway to the beach. Bediones is showing the property by appointment.

Architects’ Design Statement

“The Sundial House” is a modern-built solar calendar.  Its heliocentric design is based on the ancient practice of tracking the sunset with the seasons.  The curved stairway creates an essential core with its central axis aligned with the spring and fall equinoxes. The two pairs of monolithic stone columns on the covered lanai serve as the sundial points. During the equinoxes, when day and night are exactly the same length of 12 hours, the sun sets directly through the center of the two innermost columns.  On the longest day of the year, the summer solstice, the sun sets directly through the center of the northwest pair of columns, while on the shortest day, the winter solstice, the sunset is perfectly framed by the southwest pair of columns.

The 8,200-square-foot home is situated on a half-acre oceanfront lot and accessed by a curved driveway leading to an entry gazebo. The home is entered through custom glass doors that open to the upper level, elevated above the circular grand hall for panoramic views of Maunalua Bay, the Koolau Mountains, and Diamond Head through frameless glass windows and transoms. The curved shape is mirrored in the 20-foot-high ceiling with exposed wood beams that mimic the points of a sundial. Hidden in the soffits above are motorized shades and a 12-foot drop-down screen with projector, transforming the grand hall into a home theater with surround sound and ambient lighting.

Fourteen-inch-thick exterior walls and steel I-beam “super-structure” support a span of 20 feet beyond the west-facing glass. The generous overhang provides shade for the lanai and protection of the interior from UV rays. Low E insulated glazing is used in doors and windows for maximum protection from UV and acoustic control. Complementing the soft curve of the grand hall is the 1,200- square-foot covered lanai overlooking the 75-foot- long heated lap pool.

The central stair connects two linear wings which wrap the double volume of the grand hall. The north wing encompasses the master suite which shares in the unobstructed view of the bay through double-pocketing doors and includes separate “his and hers” toilet/shower compartments. Connected below by a secondary curved stair is the private study / library and fitness room.

The south wing houses the kitchen, dining, family room, and private bedroom suites, and also accommodates the garage, laundry, storage and mechanical spaces. The luxury kitchen is equipped with professional-grade appliances and finished with high-grade materials, such as Italian granite countertops and Anigre wood cabinetry. The laundry room also functions as a safe room with reinforced walls, a steel door, and advanced camera and security system. The home is pre-wired with fiber optics and CAT-5 cabling.

Contemporary in design, but inspired by Asian cultures, the home features a traditional tatami room with woven straw mats, translucent shoji doors, and wood trim on the ceiling.  A private bath and sauna complete the tranquil experience.

Lastly, a third stair leads to the rooftop observation deck for an even more stunning, panoramic view of the ocean as well as the sun setting on the horizon.

Huffington Post dubs two Long & Associates Homes "The Gorgeous Hawaii Rental Homes Obama Should've Booked" Two Maui homes designed by Jeffrey Long of Long & Associates Architects and Interiors, were mentioned as rental homes President Obama should book on his next Hawaii vacation.

One home is a one-story, 8 bedroom home located in Ka'anapali, Maui:

Maui Luxury"This pristine property -- known as Kaanapali Kahala in Maui -- is surrounded by serene koi ponds. The home itself wraps around a beautiful pool area, offering an outdoor lounge and entertainment area tucked away from the public's view.

The eight-bedroom home, known to realtors as the "Castle Villa," fronts the gorgeous Kaanapali Beach, and in the evening, the sunset pours into the open living room, which extends into the pool lounge," writes Carla Herrera of The Huffington Post.

Secondly, comes a home located in the exclusive Kapalua Resort's Kapalua Place.  One of only 4 beachfront residences, Oneloa Place is definitely an example of luxury:

"At the ultra-luxurious Oneloa Beach Villa on Maui's northeastern tip, guests never have to leave. The estate boasts private waterfalls, three oceanfront spas, an impressive art collection, personal beach access to a private stretch of sand and a 60-foot long infinity pool that seems to pour into the ocean."

Portlock Home Featured as "10 of the best home views" on MSN March 2013 -- A Long & Associates home design was selected as one of "10 best home views" on MSN Real Estate.  "Located in the upscale neighborhood of Portlock, about 15 miles outside of Honolulu on the island of Oahu, this oceanfront house boasts more than a great view of the sand and surf from its master bedroom. Residents can also hear the sound of the pounding waves, as well as the rustle of palm trees brushing together in the wind," writes MSN. We're thrilled to be featured on the site!

Portlock home featured on MSN's Top 10 home views.
