Clemence Residence Paia, Maui
This beach blufftop site is on the North Shore of Maui. The trade winds here are strong and constant, world class wind & kite surfing. We strapped into a four seat doorless helicopter to film the site from the sea hovering between Ho'okipa and Jaws surfbreaks. To the West, here comes the cavalry as a squadron of windsurfers follow and one by one launch up at us thinking we are surf photographers. Not to disappoint, we played along cameras rolling.
We designed the home in a shallow 'L' and sited it to shelter the wind, creating a calm Lanai overlooking an infinity edged pool against the ocean horizon and views of the Kapalua headlands to the West.
Views, Wind speed, direction and sun angle research played a significant role in the shape and siting of this residence in the Haiku area of Maui.
