Perched on Hawaii’s breathtaking coastline, this 4000 sq. ft vacation home effortlessly blends metropolitan sophistication with island serenity. Designed for a cosmopolitan family seeking a harmonious balance between their vibrant city lifestyle and a tranquil getaway, OneOcean embodies luxury, simplicity, and deep respect for its surroundings.
Key design highlights include:
The Lanai: A seamless indoor-outdoor transition that extends into the lush Hawaiian landscape, featuring natural materials and furnishings for a tranquil, comfortable vibe.
Experiential Living: Each space within OneOcean is curated to offer an immersive experience. From the open-plan living areas that invite ocean breezes to the master bath—a sensory escape with a private outdoor shower surrounded by lush greenery—every detail is designed to elevate daily living into a transformative journey.
Timeless Materiality: The use of natural stones, weather-resistant woods, and handcrafted finishes not only ensures durability in Hawaii’s tropical climate but also emphasizes authenticity. The materials are chosen to develop a beautiful patina over time, echoing the home’s intent to age gracefully.
Custom Interiors: Bespoke furnishings, artisanal details, and a neutral palette create a timeless, elegant aesthetic tailored to the family’s refined taste.
The client-architect relationship also tells a compelling story. Having first collaborated on a New York apartment, the trust and synergy between White Noise Design Studio and the family have culminated in this stunning Hawaiian escape.
