Description
If architecture is a language and the built form its voice, then a great architect is, ultimately, a master storyteller. 29 Kolonahe is evidence of such mastery from architect Ron Radziner, co-founder of renowned firm Marmol Radziner. This upcountry Maui home, built by legendary craftsman John Cahill, is an enduring, livable work of art—and Marmol Radziner’s first house in Hawaii. At the edge of a dramatic tropical valley, a triad of structures rises from an impeccably landscaped garden: main house, art studio and office, and carport and music studio. Glass, cedar, and honed lava playfully direct sunlight throughout the day—from its morning appearance to its dramatic sunset finale. Outside, gardens of native 'Ohi'a lehua, Koa, Puakenikeni, 'A'ali'i, Alahe'e and orchards of banana, papaya, mango, lychee, longan, citrus, avocados and more adorn the hillside. Listening to the voices of the land, the site, and the vision of his clients (fine artist, musician, and actor), Radziner created an oasis of modern design, inspired artistry, and native landscaping that simply feels good to live in. Radziner’s design at 29 Kolonahe tells a story of beauty, ease, and delight: the power of inhabiting a space that’s brilliantly crafted in alignment with the land where it is situated. Experience it yourself. This property is a Residential CPR and includes 1.719 acres of land.
