Homes off my personal list
It is hard not to notice the Castle of Seaview Estates, and the Justin Hilton homes.
Hilton built 4 homes across from Kehena Beach, and about 5 more around Puna.
Both builders worked very hard on their homes. However, largely they were pounding square pegs into round holes.
The extremely tall Hilton home in Seaview is more like a multi-story flat. Like the Castle Home you walk away with questioning why it is here.
The Hilton's single story home that is along side the tall one in Seaview with was his best work. It has a strong triangular shape.
I know people who stayed in the wedge house and said it was incredibly impractical and awkward to live in, even for just a week. They are big fans of modern architecture, which is why they chose that house to rent, but they came away thinking that function was totally trumped by form in this case.
