#1 Robert Tricki home
On the day the New York Times announced the winning design of the new Freedom Tower to replace the World Trade Center something odd occurred. Yes it made page one. Yes there was a picture. However, directly above was an article and larger photograph of Robert Tricki's home in Puna.
This home was the first of at least 4 homes in Puna Beach Palisades designed by California architect and part time Puna resident Craig Steely.
His other 3 homes, one has own, will be described separately.
Tricki's home was built right up against a 1955 lava flow and it is that flow that is the most remarkable aspect of the home. Care was taken during construction to prevent any damage to the slow growing lichen and Ohia trees. As a result just inches away from the lava flow, floor to ceiling windows bring this landscape into the home. A landscape that has a stunning beauty of its own in muted grays and dusty greens accent by Ohia blossoms.
