This modest villa is set on a Hawaiian Beach called Black Sand Beach. This family-centered vacation home is designed to disappear into the surrounding black lava fields and native vegetation, shunned by the ornate architecture usually found on the coast. The house was originally designed by architect Vladimir Ossipoff, who is known for his work in Hawaii.
The house has lost its former glory because of its faulty decoration and decay. Undeterred, however, the owners fell in love with the house's simple layout and remote location. The challenge of the project was to take inspiration from Ossipoff and recreate it while meeting contemporary needs.
