I can appreciate a bedroom like this. The monumental coral walls, the floating platform bed and night stands, the board and batten ceilings, and the sliding glass doors with light pouring in from the lanai. It’s a minimalist’s bedroom, and there’s something heroic and beautiful about it. .

The space that is under roof is essentially cut in half, with one half being more typically ‘interior,’ and the other half being ‘exterior’ with the outside wall completely missing. Dividing these two halves are sliding glass doors and large coral rock or plaster walls. The materiality makes no distinction between in or out. True environmental living. .

In 1975, University of Hawaii professor and architect, James Pearson, built the Hawaii Energy House on campus. Designed for passive ventilation, indoor-outdoor living, and low energy consumption. The house, and his later book called “Hawaii Home Energy Book,” laid out his philosophies on how homes should be built in Hawaii. Several years later, he built a small subdivision of 10 houses deep in Palolo, surrounded by lush natural landscapes and a babbling stream. This community is still hidden away today, thriving as tropical cabins in the bush. .

5 Overlooked Triggers of Basement Mold Growth

Discover five hidden causes of basement mold and how to stop them early before costly damage spreads throughout your home.

Basement mold is one of the most overlooked yet damaging issues homeowners face, especially in regions with high humidity and fluctuating weather conditions. What makes it even more concerning is that mold growth often begins silently hidden behind walls, under flooring, or in poorly ventilated corners long before visible signs appear. If left unchecked, it can compromise indoor air quality, weaken structural materials, and pose health risks to everyone in the home.

In this detailed guide, we explore five hidden triggers that commonly lead to basement mold growth, helping homeowners understand not just the “what,” but the “why” behind the problem. By recognizing these causes early, you can take proactive steps to protect your property and maintain a safe, healthy living environment.

Best Mold-Resistant Materials for Home Renovations

Renovating in a humid climate? Discover mold-resistant materials that protect your home and health from long-term damage.

Living in Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi comes with unmatched natural beauty, warm ocean breezes, and lush tropical landscapes but it also comes with persistent humidity and moisture that can quietly damage homes from the inside out. If you’re planning a renovation or new build on the Garden Isle, choosing the right mold-resistant building materials isn’t just a smart upgrade it’s a long-term investment in your home’s health, durability, and value.

Mold thrives in damp, humid environments, and traditional building materials often struggle to hold up in Kauaʻi’s coastal and rainforest microclimates. That’s why modern renovations across Līhuʻe, Kapaʻa, Princeville, Hanalei, Poʻipū, and Hanapēpē are increasingly focused on materials specifically designed to resist moisture, inhibit mold growth, and improve indoor air quality.
