Hawaii Project Notes


Perched on Oahu’s iconic North Shore, this Dean Larkin Design single-family residence reimagines mid-century modern principles through a distinctly Hawaiian lens. Elevated to meet FEMA requirements, the home seems to levitate effortlessly above the site, its polished stainless-steel supports and lush green walls artfully disguised to create a sense of weightless suspension. Expansive glass and clean horizontal lines draw inspiration from local mid-century architecture, framing uninterrupted ocean views and blurring the boundary between land, sky, and sea. The result is a home that honors its coastal context while floating like a modernist jewel above the shoreline.
