Incorporating Hawaiian Elements Into Your Home
Many people move to Hawaii because they view it as paradise. Residents with deep roots in the aina understand the significance of the elements and culture. Incorporate Hawaii’s native natural and cultural elements into your design. A renovation expert in Hawaii will be able to expertly weave native plants, colors, and textures into your home. A lanai, or even a sheltered space to store surfboards or SUP boards can be seamlessly added to your home. Well-placed windows take advantage of sunrise, sunset, and trade winds. Above all, take advantage of natural light and trade winds.
Updating Your Hawaiian Home with Modern Features
While you may be ready to embrace your Hawaii home as is, there is no doubt that modern features can improve the functionality and design. A house that has great bones, a stunning view, and some attractive Hawaiian architectural elements, is a great jumping off point. However, without a functional design and modern updates, your home can be a headache.
When you work with a Hawaii remodel specialist, make sure to have a full scope of your must-haves and vision and they will work to turn it into a reality.
The Additions That Will Turn This House Into a Hawaii Home
If the space allows, one of the most common upgrades that people do when transforming their Hawaiian home is the addition of a pool. Hawaii’s tropical climate is warm year-round. Weather varies from warm to a few incredibly hot months. You may want to consider adding a pool or water feature because it can be used year-round. At Homeworks, we are experienced in adding pools to our home renovations in Hawaii, and know how much overall value it can add to a house.
From home additions, ADU’s, pools, outdoor kitchens, and indoor outdoor transitions, you have options. The beauty of hiring a local contractor is that they are well-versed in the regulations for building in Hawaii and can guide you based on your goals and expectations for the overall home remodel.
