House is a place to sit and attend to the garden with all the senses. Nearly all the lumber came from Re-use Hawai’i, and from one house. The stumps were lent by the University of Hawai’i Art Department. Corrugated metal roofing was chosen to remember plantation houses.

This project would not have been possible without much help and support:
