项目是一栋为一个成员增加的家庭设计的住宅，面积约为1250平米，俯瞰海岸边由于海水侵蚀形成的池塘，那里曾是古代夏威夷人的养鱼塘。建筑中所有主要居住空间都可以享受Uluweuweu海湾和Kikaua Point的美景。Wai’olu这个名字来自于夏威夷语里的“淡水”（wai）和“愉悦”（olu），包含凉爽、富有吸引力、柔软和温和等意义。

Overlooking coastal anchialine ponds where ancient Hawai’ians raised fish, this 13,497-square-foot home for an extended family was designed so that all its major living spaces capture views of Uluweuweu Bay and Kikaua Point. The name Wai’olu comes from the Hawai’ian words wai (fresh water) and olu (pleasant) and means cool, attractive, soft, and gentle.

住宅设计受到John Ruskin的书法和William Morris的画作的启发，他们是工艺美术运动的支持者。观其哲学根基，该运动运用手工技艺、自然材料和不同艺术形式，探讨人类灵魂的本质，追寻实用主义价值和粗野的简单性。Wai’olu住宅的业主希望他们的家拥有同样的精神内核。此外，设计还需要将当代的生活方式和情感融入其中。
The design of this home was inspired by the writings of John Ruskin and the art of William Morris, proponents of the Arts and Crafts movement. At its philosophical root, the movement was invested in the essence of the human spirit, utilitarian values, rustic simplicity, and the use of handcraft, natural materials, and allied arts. The owners of Wai’olu Residence desired that their home be designed in this same spirit. The design also needed to accommodate a contemporary lifestyle and sensibilities.

建筑的入口门厅被压低，简洁的天花由雪松木梁组成，朴素低调。放大的入口体量采用木桁架框架，为到访者带来强烈的戏剧感。餐厅、起居室和厨房随意地组合在同一屋檐之下，一面不到顶的珊瑚石墙将用餐区和客厅及厨房分隔开来。
The home’s entry vestibule is understated and compressed to a low scale with a simple cedar beam ceiling. The enlarged volume of the entry, with its timber-frame trusses, adds drama to the sense of arrival. The dining area, living area, and kitchen are casually grouped under one roof. A partial-height coral stone wall sets the dining area apart from the living area and kitchen.

入口、门廊、前厅等过渡空间是一个十分重要的建筑元素，在为居住空间提供遮蔽的同时，让住宅显得更加温馨亲切。起居空间内，曲木制成的角撑框出室外美景，这也是项目里最具代表性的艺术和工艺细节之一。业主收集的十九世纪晚期的船头雕像俯瞰部分公共区域，仿佛在引导和保护这里的居住者和访客。
Transition spaces such as the entry, lanais, foyer are an important architectural element that in addition to providing shade to living spaces add considerable graciousness to the atmosphere of the home. Curved wood knee braces frame views from the living spaces, and are an iconic arts and crafts detail. The clients’ collection of late-nineteenth-century ship figureheads overlooks several of the common areas as if to provide guidance and protection for the residents and their guests.

材料的选择需要符合工艺美术运动的精神，呼应岛屿生活，并具有良好的耐久性。浅灰色的站缝锌板屋顶与珊瑚石组成的外墙相得益彰。硬木门窗让立面更加丰富而温暖。室内完成面包括当地产的ohia硬木和石灰华地板、雪松木桁架和天花、抹灰墙面以及柚木门。青铜硬件、蚀刻金属抽油烟机、铸铜房梁固定件等细部全都经过精心设计，唤起工艺美术时代的精神。
Materials for the home were selected for their contribution toward a spirit of Arts and Crafts ideals, island life, and durability. The soft gray standing-seam zinc roof complements coral stone exterior walls. Hardwood doors and windows add richness and warmth to the exterior. Interior finishes consist of local ohia hardwood and travertine stone floors, cedar trusses and ceilings, plaster walls, and teak hardwood doors. Detail appointments such as bronze hardware, an etched metal range hood, and cast bronze beam fastenings were all designed and selected to evoke the spirit of the Arts and Crafts era.
