Hawaiian modern - a few things we like

[Liwen Cheung]

Vince's best friend from college lives in Honolulu, and one of the things we noticed when visiting homes there is the use of wood and the unique blend of contemporary and Asian-influenced style in many of the homes, particularly in the Kahala and Hawaii-kai neighborhoods.

Here's a good example of the use of wood in flooring and in framing the windows:
