Hawaiian Bungalows

[Blakeyboy1]

Good point Rob. But to preclude one building technique based on a uniform code still seems wrong to me. I know from researching about revitalization of downtown Hilo that many efforts there have been averted by uniform codes that apply one set of rules across the Hawaiian islands without taking into account many unique things specific to location. Something that may apply to say Lahaina or Kona may not necessarily apply to Hilo Town. I am as "green" as they come and fully support efforts in this direction but realize that locations, like individuals, are different and one set of rules should not necessarily apply to all.

As I told Mike at Hawaiian Bungalows (if I use that enough Google is sure to eventually pic it up if this site indexes), I want a home that takes full advantage of its location and is designed to work with the climate. We are moving to pursue a more simple lifestyle and our eventual home needs to work within that philosophy.

Mahalo.
