Here is one really like: the Breezehouse. I don't really care for the exterior architecture, but it has the indoor/outdoor feel that I would want in a Hawaii house. Basically, the breeze goes right through the middle of the house. Hot air rises out of the butterfly roof, and both ends of the house open up completely using "Nanawall" accordion glass doors. I am not sure the overhang would suffice in Puna. This house is probably better suited to the dryer West side. Still, it is eco-friendly, built OFF-SITE, and merely provides some buttoning up to get it up and running.....
