I live off-grid on this coast, not far from this home. We are in a stunning part of the world, and I’m grateful to see the some of the rarely-seen and innovative architecture showcased.
The Highlands of the Hawaiian Islands are so special. Not too much humidity like near sea level and lots of rain coming through daily. Wish I could setup shop like these guys
I live on Oahu so it was great to see a video of yours made here on the islands. My close friend lives on the big island at about 4000 ft. It can get very chilly up there. That fireplace probably gets used more than one would think for Hawaii. Mahalo Nui Loa to everyone involved in the making of this great video. Kirsten you rock! No pun intended. 🌋😄
@@danielwahlstromm.d.415 if you re-watch that conversation you can see from the 360 drone footage that he is correct. the actual building walls are bounded in an equilateral or isosceles triangle shape with rounded corners. Although I agree that the overhead footprint of the building is a kite.
@@danielwahlstromm.d.415 You understand that he wasn't referring to the roof as a triangle? He was referencing the shape of the house, which IS a triangle.
Wow...amazing home... So peaceful out there. I would really love to see the night sky there, AND to be there to witness a major storm. Nature is truly stunning, astounding and unfathomable!
Super interesting house. Loved the interior atrium. Not keen on the lack of privacy in the bathroom though. And that shot of the dark sky with the stars above, 14:26, was simply stunning.
I lived on Mauns Kea right off saddle back rd at about 8,000 ft.....there literally about 80+ homes on and around the mountain just like this or better, Mauna Loa especially west side has many as well. Im always surprised with as much insite and experience she has, sometimes shes extremely out of the loop regarding the basics of these off grid locations........, if you dont live like this....Hawaii period requires innovation, respect, and efficiency...... 🕊️
It is so beautiful . I wish I have had the chance to build a house designed as I dreamt of . Lucky people to live in a beautiful house in a beautiful place .
The house is insanely beautiful, the landscape is magnifo, love to watch your videos Kirsten❤ Great job from you and your family! wish you all the best😀 would like to do more rather than clicking a like button to support👍
Amazing house and location, if it had twice the panels for the solar and all gas appliances with an on-demand gas water heater instead of electric everything it would rarely need that generator that ironically runs on propane
@@PlanetEarth3141 I'm pretty sure I got it 3 weeks of cloudy days and high load appliances... Without more detail, I still find it difficult to think that the occasional use of a generator to recharge batteries justifies the cost of what looked like an enormous generator. The piece didn't get into the numbers for any parts of the power system so I'm sure there's more detail to understand.
@@travelfeet I agree more detailed info would be good. Like overall cost for starters. That three week info is also probable not a one time situation given the semi rain forest around that mountain.
@@PlanetEarth3141”overall cost” ? Definitely was a high build cost. The number would stun the viewers I’m sure. Some things are better left to be private info.
Very cool location and design. Forget the beach, when you can have that vista and bird calls to wake to, or to watch the sun set. Thanks for sharing it. 🤙
I agree, the green pastures and the nature with the atmosphere and the bird song is just a whole other experience. I haven’t lived like this, but I believe it would definitely be grounding. You would feel so connected to the land around you. I especially like the lack of light pollution, the sky at night looks phenomenal and I could see myself in that atrium at night for hours looking for Andromeda or Sirius.
@@bethhubbs9937I feel like that too. Although a view of water feels therapeutic to me, it’s nice to be able to see a body of water and the waves and hear the sounds. It could even just be a lake, just something where you can see the water flowing.
Yeah this is insane... I had gone for a different color and materials palette but in essence, this is what I want too. Nothing excessive or pretentious. I dig it. I had done a little wind generator, maybe, and you could definitely have a second tank higher up and use the excess electricity on good days to pump water up and then have a gravity fed system. Bit more pricey but it'd act like a gravity battery. A little wood fired oven/cook top combo would give you that extra level of resiliency if the lights did go out one day (could be easily hidden in a corner or in a bult in or something like that to not spoil the vibes). Just have a pile of wood ready in the garage. Love the Konstantin Grcic bar stools. Very nice. Again, awesome build. Very very cool...
Was my thoughts too... A wind turbine (VAWTS are silent) would probably ensure plenty of power. And a gravity fed water-tank would be more efficient use of pumps.
The whole _Off Grid_ thing is utter nonsense anyway - they're not growing all their food up there so carrying some propane up on one of the many provisioning excursions would be well within scope! Firewood needs an entire infrastructure too, even IF they were processing it all on site - which they aren't capable of!
@@dancarter482 I think you confuse total self sustainment with being off grid. Grid is only referring to the electrical grid - nothing more. I think we'd all agree that a modern lifestyle is only possible in a networked, connected world, be it internet or medical care, but in Hawaii they do have electricity outages and being somewhat self sustained, say for a week or two or even a month is a very valid concern. Also, they just don't get public utilities there (sewage, drinking water, gas, and obv grid electricity, trash collection, that sort of thing). You simply have to be self sustained to a certain degree if you want to live there. Also, islands are notoriously expensive to supply so solar and such can make financial sense too in many cases.
Enjoyed seeing such wonderful custom creativity, thank you! While it’s beautiful there on a perfect day like you got … way too cold, windy, rainy for me … so live Kona :))) Hope you guys are having a fun vacation here!
A beautiful home on every level. It is circular, it is a diamond and a marvel. I want it for the view most of all. The sky is more entertainment than most people. Thx
You can see the growing trend to hide the kitchen. Back in the day, kitchens had their own rooms out of sight from the guests. Then came the great room trend, displaying the kitchen as the centerpiece for entertainment. Now people want to hide it. I bet future designs will have separate kitchen rooms again. After all, practical kitchens are to prepare food with clutter everywhere, not for display.
_Best place at a party is the kitchen_ - bigger the kitchen, bigger the party! Kitchen is heart and soul of any home - love my kitchen/galley and having visitors hang out there with a brew of fresh ground.
No way, I sure hope they don’t revert back to not incorporating the kitchen with the rest of the home. Doing so would be a travesty as kitchens have always been a central gathering place for family and community.
@@slynn5138 Having your kitchen in your living room, as is the style of today is absolutely nonsensical. They are two very different rooms with different functions. Having it separate from other rooms is the most logical solution. Unless you wanna combine kitchen and a dining room, which some people can, with enough room.
27:39 The sound when the rain is hitting is horrible. To pay that much money and to not have a building which can provide peace and quiet in the apparently common circumstance of rain falling on it is ridiculous (IMHO etc.). Edit: Also, Merry Christmas! I hope Kirsten and family have a wonderful time and all the audience too, and any non-celebrators have a wonderful time over the break if they have one! Peace and joy to all humankind!
I agree about the sound of rain in general but the specific volume and quality of the sounds at 27:39 from this particular roof seem harsh to me. At another point in the video the contractor and tour guide demonstrates an unintended echo at one place. Perhaps that is related and is amplifying the raindrop strikes on the roof. Listen with earbuds for the full effect.
i love this channel~ thanks Kirsten and family for providing your vids~ Mahalo! n Mele' Kalikimaka to you and yr fam~ we are going to big island in Feb :))
Surprised to see the batteries under the main house and not sitting under the solar panels and next to the generator. Wonder what the thinking was there?
noise. they detached the noisy parts of the system. Yet the power room is below to check up on it in the middle of the rain, if needed. Not sure if security concerns over there, but also helps with that to have them right inside.
Having lived in Hawaii for a bit. The place seems very remote, most of the days you want a coffee or a workout or the beach. It is like the place I used to be at. It looks like it takes 30+ minutes for that. As far as privacy, it looks non-existent, at least the place I was at was separated. In laws, guests, Ohana. There is no pool, there is no hot tub. I mean those are the things you need unless you want to spend the 30+ minutes down the hill or more..... I don't see an herb garden from the catching of the rain of similar. I do love the "wide" roof which is nice as it covers more. I'd probably set up something to close the Atrium from the elements he mentioned. All in all this is prime video stuff as you can easily decide if it is worth your $$ to buy or what you would change. Thanks
This is my dream house. I would add some privacy though, specially for the bathroom. It will hard to convince the kids to stay here without much to do!
15 years ago when i was building my own home in honolulu, i priced those large double sliding doors thinking i wanted one for my back patio. at the time, they were just over 10k apiece. i cannot begin to imagine how much it cost to build that place.
I would love living there! 24:20 Careful. You never want extra electrical wire length, especially coiled or bent. That causes heat. Heat build up to cause a fire. Changing wire thickness can change the electrical resistance, so no need.
Cool 😎😎😎 House but in my opinion one major flaw is what appears to be rubber "flat" roof with lots and lots of seams to it when the roof was shown - nope! Long term see lots of problems and lots of expense with that. Better solution is steel with pitch to it so that when it rains the water heads straight toward the eaves. If done correctly would work out much better for the long term with far less expense/maintenance plus during severe weather would more than likely withstand more than a rubber roof with all those seams to it. Everywhere there is seam there is the potential for a "break point" - no thanks.
The concept and design of this is great, the decoration and interior is one of those standard "minimalist" looks though which all these kinds of houses have and which does not make it look lived in/livable at all.
The problem with all these dream apocalypse scenarios is all the tech is data driven and so in any honest rendition of a future information blackout none of these things one relies on to be truly off-grid are going to be very functional for very long without the backend running them etc. People like to think all that matters is their energy storage but the truth is none of these technologies are built to be repaired or worked on etc. Imagine for a second what kind of havoc would be caused from a virus attack on not only the power management systems, say, like the batteries but also the vehicles etc. Anyhow it would be nice if someone could address these ideas from a systems perspective rather than feed back into the popular image of a "utopian island" of steady-state harmony. The latter is just silly.
Grew up on the coast, in 2003 after the plantations stopped producing sugar cane (90s, 2000s) lots started going up for sale. We spent 12 years paying off a good portion before building.
I think I'd want some insect screens :p Would be really cool with a green roof so it just blended it to an extent and would help maybe slow down the water too. Cool house though, as an amateur astronomer I'd be happy..
Fantastic video. I'm hoping for a super-efficient home that "could be" off-grid if needed. What were the refrigerators they had? Where can you get those?
@@XboxTheBeatboxer The person talking claimed that the cold air stayed in, even though they were pull-outs. I'll take a second look at that part of the video, but would you think that is an accurate statement? I pullout would be nice since you can use the counter space right above that spot.
@@alansnyder8448 Not 100% accurate - the cold in the food compartment stays but the air in the cavity rolls out like any normal unit. If you want high efficiency then get a chest deep freeze and turn it to lowest setting. You can accidentally leave a chest freezer OPEN for a few days and it still stays cold. (blushes) The drawers are certainly more efficient than most standard units - but not by enough to make a huge difference. I would still rather have a traditional unit with ice and water dispensers though. Running the induction Hob for an hour will burn more power than a standard fridge does in a whole day. They put the drawers in for ascetics, not for practicality. Those double drawer units are $5K each. To each their own...
So stunning up there and your right Kirsten why are you going to build a conventional box when it's a hike to get up to this particular or any property outside city limits. Thanks for Sharing...
I tried a drinking game where every time one of you said “right” at the end of a sentence I drank.. didn’t make it 5 minutes in before I passed out. LOL. I could spend months up there.

Great design and setting !!!
One of my favorites since that beautiful house in the Greek olive grove.
I have the same springy taps, they can be useful but mostly they are just annoying, normal old fashioned taps are better

I spoke too soon, saw the generator and backup water tank. When it was mentioned their electric was almost out by evening, I was really confused.
