Residential projects of various sizes and scope are welcome as long as the project involved substantial exterior alterations.

Winners for this award remain eligible for entry in the Built project categories when and if completed in the future.

New for 2019! Distinctive Detail – (for consideration of our NEW Distinct Detail Design Awards) Created to honor individual building components and design features that on built projects until now may not have been recognized for overall achievement.

Honorable Mention – Responds to notable achievements in one or more particular project aspects; area(s) that stood out, as agreed through consensus by the jury.

 
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Aloha,

As we celebrate our 61st Annual Design Awards, AIA Honolulu is proud to continue advancing this year’s theme, ‘Sustainability + Resiliency.’ We in Hawai‘i know more than anyone just how vulnerable our built environment is to severe weather and sea level rise. In our efforts to build more resilient communities, architects will need to plan disaster-proof buildings, select sustainable products, and design systems that are easily adaptable to the changing world. In short, we need to view the environment as much as a client as our paying patrons.

This commitment to sustainability and resiliency is reflected in our annual Design Awards. Last year, in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council, we introduced the U.S.G.B.C. Sustainability Award, and this year, we’re proud to partner with Hawai‘i Energy to announce the Hawai‘i Energy Award for Excellence in Energy Efficient Design. Both awards celebrate the best of green building and sustainable design and we’re encouraged to see an increase in the number of projects being submitted for consideration.

In addition, this year we formed the Design for Risk and Resiliency Committee (DfRR), led by AIA Honolulu board member, Hale Takazawa, AIA. The committee – which is comprised of members of the private, public, and nonprofit sectors – is focused on comprehensive regional planning, disaster recovery solutions, and building programs and partnerships to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our communities. Earlier this year, the committee partnered with the AIA Hawaii State Council to host a successful two-day workshop on Designing Resilience for Coastal Communities for a diverse group of planners, designers, and disaster recovery specialists.

All this work is not done in a bubble. Last October, 2018 AIA National President Carl Elefante, FAIA, visited Hawai‘i and stressed the urgency of changing our habits – the way we work, teach, and of course, the way we design. This year, the 2019 AIA National President and the AIA CEO both visited the islands as part of the U.S. Conference of Mayors and reiterated Carl’s mantra.

The message is clear: We as architects need to lead the charge in protecting our planet. Given our island state is especially vulnerable, Hawai‘i architects will play a pivotal role in the global response. Our commitment to awarding excellence in sustainable and energy efficient design is one of many important steps.

Thank you to all our members and students who submitted projects for consideration to this year’s Design Awards, and congratulations to all of our esteemed award winners.

AWARD OF EXCELLENCE & MAYOR’S CHOICE AWARD – INSTITUTIONAL 

University of Hawai‘i West O‘ahu, Administration + Health Sciences Building

Built on a site nearly replete of ability to retain water or support plant life, the team of KYA Design Group and Perkins&Will transformed the Administration and Health Sciences Building (AHSB) of the University of Hawai‘i at West O‘ahu (UHWO) to become a restorative place of both healing and learning that is tracking Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold.

“The team developed an approach to restore, heal and rebuild the topsoil through nitrogen fixing planting and implemented a comprehensive water management program that includes: onsite greywater reclamation that collects and treats sink water and HVAC condensate for irrigation, rainwater catchment and four bioretention gardens to manage storm water for parking, roadways and the roof,” says Mark Tagawa, AIA, Associate Principal for Perkins&Will. “As the front door to UHWO, AHSB is designed to heal the land through landscaping and capturing rain/building water to sustain it.” Tagawa says. “Its form is inspired by sugar mills with its skin influenced by kapa.”

UHWO’s chancellor designated the AHSB a landmark building.

“We believe design has the power to inspire joy, uplift lives, and strengthen the spirit of community,” Tagawa says. “It is our hope that AHSB has in some ways helped to make a great campus even better for students, faculty and staff.”

“A new and original voice in campus architecture is established by simple and distinctive moves that elevate the campus plan and embrace the existing landscape.”  Jurors’ Comment

AWARD OF EXCELLENCE – RESIDENTIAL

Kua Bay Residence

Designed for an active family of five, this Kua Bay residence encompasses duality. It is open to the lush, natural surroundings, yet, with its strategically embedded structures, remains tucked away for ample privacy.

Photo: Douglas Friedman Photography

For Greg Warner, AIA, LEED AP, Principal of Walker Warner Architects, one of the goals was to capture the stark contrasts between land and sea. 

“To provide ample architectural program for the family, but not to overcrowd the property, given the limited parcel size,” he says. “We were able to bury portions of the building into the hillside, which allowed for gracious outdoor spaces.”

The muted color palette complements the clean form of architecture, creating a harmonious connection to the natural surroundings that is at the same time both humble and stunning. The family has a strong appreciation for the natural surround, according to Warner, who drew his inspiration from the features of the site.

Photo: Douglas Friedman Photography

On the mauka side, the dark lava formations create a dramatic backdrop that give way to the oceanfront adjacent to the land. The team blended the contrasts in a way that allowed for a series of transitions throughout the property: the sunken autocourt surrounded by lava, the step up on axis to the elevated courtyard and the dramatic reveal of the ocean panorama at the main hale.

“This project represents our interest in advancing contemporary, regionally appropriate design in Hawai‘i,” Warner says.

“A delicate response to the landscape, the house is meticulously detailed to thoughtfully transition between the natural and manmade, interior to exterior, and heavy and light.” -Jurors’ Comment

AWARD OF MERIT – COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL

‘Iolani Campus Expansion – Residence Hall

Photo: Ronald Ribao

Inspired by biophilia, which emphasizes connections to nature, the residence hall at ‘Iolani’s campus extension was designed to embrace a monkey pod tree donated by the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The 33,000 square foot, five-story dormitory houses up to 112 students. The architecture honors the original housing and style of the site, but with a contemporary expression that fits the context of its visionary future.

“Thoughtful spatial organization at both campus and building scales demonstrate effective campus planning and place-making for students.” -Jurors’ Comment

AWARD OF MERIT – INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE

Joan K. Mendel Kindergarten Classrooms

The 15,000 square foot kindergarten classroom building came with its challenges. The site was shoe-horned between multiple buildings and sat on “the worst geological soils in the vicinity,” according to Charles Y. Kaneshiro, AIA, LEED AP, President and Chief Operating Officer for G70. The team faced the challenges head-on. The result: a show-stopping organic plan of polygon shaped classrooms with saw-toothed roofs that preserve the 10 mature Sakura trees on property.

“An active, playful, day-lit interior street respects children as citizens, and elevates the conversation on educational design.” -Jurors’ Comment

This modern, yet natural cabin offers the perfect balance of minimal and luxurious. It exhibits the thoughtful design of LSA Architects LLC throughout. The crushed basalt driveway gives way to native landscaping and outdoor sitting areas, leveled with rocks from foundation preparation. Meanwhile, a catchment tank supplies water to the property, which is screened from view by a horizontal cedar lattice.

“A delight for its simplicity, restraint, clean detailing, and appropriateness to site.” -Jurors’ Comment

AWARD OF MERIT – UNBUILT

Blaisdell Center Redevelopment

Renderer: Snohetta; Moare; WCIT Architecture

The Neal S. Blaisdell Center has been home to a state-of-the-art arena, concert hall and exhibition hall for more than 50 years. This contemporary redesign pays homage to the natural flow from mauka to makai. The design team of WCIT Architecture, Snøhetta and AECOM identified three core values that guided them through the process: ho‘okahe wai (activate water), ho‘olaule‘a Hawai‘i (celebrate culture) and ho‘opili kānaka (gather community).

“This project envisions a vibrant new model for civic space that is respectful and dynamic in its relationship to the past, present, and future of site and surrounding area.” -Jurors’ Comment

DISTINCTIVE DETAIL AWARD

The Distinctive Detail Award was created to honor individual building components and design features that on built projects until now may not have been recognized for overall achievement. The jury wanted to recognize this project for going above and beyond the typical scope of an architect’s work, and demonstrating the role of the designer in advancing material research and manufacturing.

“This is evidence that a commitment to a small detail can work to address larger scale issues of cost, performance, maintenance, and aesthetics.” -Jurors’ Comment
