Arinaga Residence |
| Location: |
Kahala Kua, Hawaii |

Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Arinaga |

| A house among a forest of trees would
best describe the landscape design for the Arinaga Residence. Tall, willowy Formosa
Koa Trees grace the entrance to this residence. Built on a slope with large boulders
making up the existing landscape, this project was a challenge. The Arinaga's wanted
to be able to maintain their views from their home, while looking through a variety of
trees. Through the kitchen window, Strawberry Guava Trees, with their interesting
bark and graceful branch structure, can be viewed among lavender Walking Iris's. The
Makai ocean view is maintained while viewing under a Lychee Tree. Fruit trees are
abundant on the property, including Lychee, Tangerine, and Lime. Native 'Ilima was
planted as a ground cover on the rocky back slope and 'Akia and Kupukupu Ferns were used
to carry on the theme of Native planting throughout the landscape. |
