由美国沃克华纳建筑工作室(Walker Warner Architects)设计的“Makani Eka”位于夏威夷大岛一处壮观的青翠原野上，是一座融合了本土建筑和现代设计的家庭住宅。住宅由四个独立的结构组成，围绕着接待朋友和家人的愿望，同时保持居民的隐私。
“Makani ‘ s Eka”的设计灵感来源于夏威夷hale避难所的棚屋几何形状;小屋的屋顶很大，屋顶上盖着草或树叶。“倾斜的钢柱、陡峭的斜屋顶、菱形的窗户和门开口的组成代表了对早期夏威夷庇护所的当代诠释，”该公司解释说。院落直接借鉴了本土建筑的布局，由四个独立的结构和一个中央庭院组成。建筑师补充说:“新旧建筑通过一个简单的小结构组合而成，这些小结构由郁郁葱葱的庭院、一系列的走道和天井连接起来。”
Situated on a spectacular verdant site on Hawaii’s Big Island, ‘Makani Eka’ by US studio Walker Warner Architects is a family compound that merges vernacular architecture with modern designs. Composed of four independent structures, the property has been centered around the desire to host friends and family while maintaining the residents’s privacy.
The design of ‘Makani’s Eka’ is inspired by the hut geometry of Hawaii’s hale shelters; wooden houses with large pitched roofs thatched with grass or leaves. “The composition of canted steel columns, steep-pitched roofs, and rhomboidal window and door openings represent a contemporary interpretation of early Hawaiian shelters,” explains a statement from the firm. The compound draws directly on the arrangement of the Indigenous architecture and comprises four independent structures and a central courtyard. “Old and new ebb and flow through a simple composition of small structures linked by a lush courtyard and a series of walkways and patios,” the architects add.
