House of Floating Roofs in the Luxury Community of Kāhala

This stunning contemporary residence in the prestigious community of Kāhala, offers the perfect blend of modern architecture, premium craftsmanship, and functional design. Known as Hale O Kaupoku Lewa—“House of Floating Roofs”—this newly completed, LEED Platinum–certified home spans approximately 4,920 square feet and centers around a beautifully designed courtyard oasis.

The home’s distinctive roof planes appear to hover above the structure, creating visual depth while enhancing the flow of natural light and air. Expertly curated materials and thoughtful design ensure an exceptional living experience that caters to both family comfort and entertaining.

Located in the Heart of Kāhala

Positioned along one of Kāhala’s most desirable walking streets, 4922 Kolohala Street offers a rare opportunity to live in one of Honolulu’s most prestigious neighborhoods.

Often called the “Beverly Hills of Hawai‘i,” Kāhala has evolved to include a blend of established estates and newly designed homes. Set on a generous 10,732 sq. ft. lot, this property is surrounded by lush, low-maintenance landscaping that thrives in Hawai‘i’s tropical climate. The calm, residential setting is a short stone’s throw from world-class beaches, scenic walking paths, and championship golf courses, catering to those who value both outdoor pursuits and easy access to Waikīkī, Downtown Honolulu, and major attractions. 

Contemporary Design With a Central Courtyard Oasis

Designed with a vision of lightness and openness, Hale O Kaupoku Lewa is a contemporary masterpiece that blends clean architectural lines with an effortless connection to the outdoors. Wide-plank white oak flooring sets the stage for a relaxed coastal feel, while Italian suede wall upholstery and mother-of-pearl accents introduce a layer of refined detail. This thoughtfully designed residence emphasizes form and function, with large sliding and folding glass doors that open to a private courtyard, inviting in the island trade winds.

The heated pool, lined with shimmering Italian glass iridium tiles, is both a visual centerpiece and a functional space for relaxation or exercise. A natural gas Jacuzzi and pool heater provide year-round comfort, while tiki torches, water features, and optional fire elements transform the space into an inviting escape after sunset. Adjacent to the pool, a pool house enhances the outdoor experience with a full kitchen, bar area, and bathroom—ideal for guests or extended gatherings. 

Refined Comfort With Flexible Living Spaces

This home offers a spacious layout with 4 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 half baths across nearly 5,000 square feet.  The design keeps things open and flowing, with the kitchen, living, and dining areas grouped together for easy movement and clear views of the courtyard.

Bedrooms are tucked into quieter parts of the home, giving a sense of separation between the more social spaces and private zones. Whether you want a media lounge, home gym, or something else entirely, the loft and open living areas give you the freedom to create the space you need. For those looking to host guests or provide a private space for extended family, the separate pool house comes with a full bath and cooking station, adding flexibility and convenience.

Enduring High Quality Construction

Built by Pyramid Premier Properties to meet LEED Platinum standards, this home is designed with modern materials fit for a tropical climate. The exterior combines thermally modified wood, ipe wood siding, and Western Clear Heart Red Cedar soffits, creating a sleek, linear look that’s as durable as it is stylish.  

Every detail of the home speaks to quality and craftsmanship. Handmade studio teak cabinetry, with maple dovetail drawers and Blum hardware, adds a custom touch throughout. The 6” copper gutters not only handle rainwater efficiently but also add an elegant finish. With its thoughtful design and use of premium materials, this home is built to last, offering both sustainability and comfort without compromising on style.

Abundantly Equipped With Features & Amenities

The kitchen is a standout feature, equipped with high-end Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and bold Perla Venata quartzite countertops that bring both style and durability. The modern aesthetic is carried throughout with Dornbracht and Kraus hardware in the kitchen, complemented by Hansgrohe fixtures in the bathrooms.

For added convenience, extra Bosch fridge/freezers are tucked away in the pantry and pool house, making it easy to store everything you need. The home offers a number of thoughtful touches that elevate everyday living, including a steam room and rain showers that contribute to a spa-like atmosphere. Elegant finishes like mother of pearl in the baths and living areas add a layer of sophistication. 

Energy Efficient & Sustainable

This home is designed to be both energy-efficient and sustainable. With 62 Tesla solar panels and three Tesla Powerwall units, it captures and stores the Hawaiian sunshine, reducing reliance on the grid and providing backup power during outages. Energy performance is further enhanced by Bosch High SEER air conditioning, double- and triple-paned Pella windows, and Sto Stucco EFIS siding, all working to reduce heat transfer and keep energy consumption low.

The landscaping is just as thoughtful, using native, drought-tolerant plants and Synlawn to reduce water usage and keep maintenance minimal. With all these features, the home promotes long-term benefits—lower utility costs, a reduced environmental footprint, and potential resale advantages.
