merrill residence, kauai

Description:
The home of a North Shore gardener-at-heart, this residential gem combines both organic and non organic elements throughout the interior. Using a limited palette of materials consisting of bamboo, concrete and stainless steel mixed with tones of pale green and shades of gray, gives the space an open, airy, relaxing feel. Recycled glass tiles speckled throughout catch the light from the setting sun each night while custom cabinetry, made from a local Mango tree given to the owner as a gift, embodies the connection between organic Earth and material function.
