This session will explore the integration of architectural and landscape design through a comparative analysis of two Honolulu projects developed by the same design team, nearly a decade apart.
Join us to discover how the designs showcase shifting client goals, cultural values, and market demands while maintaining a distinctly Hawaiian sense of place. Park Lane (2017) translates the scale and intimacy of single-family homes into a low-rise condominium community with landscaped courtyards, terraced topography, and expansive lanais. Victoria Place (2025) presents a different model with a 40-story tower that anchors a new public park reflecting Hawaii's cultural heritage.
Learning Objectives
- Compare two successful residential models to learn how each respond to site, client needs, and market demands—and how these strategies have contributed to their market and community success.
- Assess how landscape design informs architectural form and how architecture can create new opportunities for landscape integration.
- Discuss cultural, ecological, and social factors that influence residential design in Hawaii and how these evolve over time.
- Consider how to apply lessons from Park Lane and Victoria Place to future residential projects that seek to balance cultural identity, environmental responsibility, and market success.
