"Where Water Is the Constant\nOn Kukio Bay, a Hawaiian House Agrees With the Elements\nA Japanese-influenced gate defines the front entrance.\nA mahogany footbridge cuts over a shallow pool to the front door. \"The rear of the residence faces Kukio Bay,\" says Saint Dizier. \"But the water theme was introduced from the outset.\" Travertine marble foundations are cantilevered over the water to create the effect of floating.\nThe entrance hall\u2014\"a Jules Verne fantasy, with glass-and-iron orbs and a giant ship's prow\"\u2014leads to the rear terrace. Architect Hugh Huddleson designed retracting doors that open the space to the bay. William Switzer console. Slatted chairs and benches, Michael Taylor.\n\"The interiors have the shimmer and luster of elegance, but it's not in your face,\" remarks Saint Dizier. A series of four Hawaiian tapas by Puanani Van Dorpe hang in the living room. Chairs and chair fabric from Sutherland. John Boone daybed. Kravet sofa cushion fabric.\nAs throughout the rooms, the dining area was lined with a textured wallcovering. \"The natural fibers soften the architecture, relax the formality and establish a tropical feeling,\" notes Saint Dizier. The chairs, covered in Jim Thompson silk, are from Henredon.\nThe dramatic master bedroom opens on three sides, revealing gardens and an unobstructed ocean view. \"The palette is soft and toward green to accentuate the interplay with the landscape.\" Lanai furniture, Michael Taylor. Pollack chenille on chaise. Edelman leather on ottoman.\nAn Italian armoire carved with ferns takes a guest room \"into an almost believable Hawaiiana.\" Phillip Jeffries bedcovering fabric, shade trim and rear pillow fabric. Chair fabric and all other pillow fabrics, Larsen.
