Intricate Designs With a Story to Tell

Casa en Maui’s architecture unfolds like a carefully crafted story. A cathedral-like entry tower transitions into a cobalt-blue, light-filled courtyard, where sunlight pools and shadows dance. The restrained, earthy exterior of the home transitions into vivid, harmonious colorful interiors. Corridors flow gracefully into living areas with dramatic loggias that unveil sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, each turn revealing a new chapter.

Legorreta orchestrates contrasting elements with precision, with monumental gestures that dissolve into intimate spaces, and bold geometry that harmonizes with a gradation of colors. Transitions are moments of revelation, guiding movement while immersing the senses in the architecture’s connection to Maui’s natural surroundings.

Intentional Spaces Crafted to Elevate Daily Life

Feeling meets intention at Casa en Maui, where spaces are crafted to elevate daily living. Each room flows seamlessly into the next, with vibrant colors weaving a narrative through the home and connecting each space. Expansive social and dining areas transition delicately into shaded lanais and a dramatic cobalt blue lap pool. Designed to embrace Maui’s beauty, these spaces blur the lines between indoors and out.

A good project should not only meet the needs of its users…but also the spiritual and artistic needs of the people — LEGORRETA®

The primary suite, expansive and fully appointed, becomes a theater for Maui’s beauty, where ocean views unfold in real time all around. Guest quarters and secluded terraces provide quiet refuge, while thoughtful details—a caretaker’s residence and spacious garage—harmonize function with artistry.

Refined Installments and Materials for a Timeless Finish

Grounded in timeless materials, Casa en Maui achieves a balance of strength and serenity. Smooth cement walls, textured stone, and warm wood details create a tactile experience that anchors the home to Maui’s rugged landscape, melding durability with comfort. Legorreta’s material palette is both enduring and elegant, mirroring Maui’s natural textures and beauty. Showcasing Hawaiian hardwoods and stone sourced from the same quarry as the Roman Colosseum and Getty Museum, the home embodies a legacy of craftsmanship and authenticity. Stone surfaces reflect the island’s volcanic terrain, while wooden accents capture sunlight, infusing warmth into every space while revealing the depth and character of every surface. These elements come together to craft a sanctuary of permanence and grace.

Bold Geometric Forms and Dramatic Shapes

Casa en Maui’s terracotta exteriors and dramatic shapes enhance the architecture’s sculptural presence. Commanding geometric forms rise like sculptures in a garden, complementing the island’s breathtaking ocean, sky, and mountain backdrop. Thoughtfully positioned doors and terraces create seamless transitions, revealing nature at every turn. From within, expansive windows and doorways become curated frames, capturing Maui’s grandeur in vivid detail and turning the natural world into living art. Each view—whether of the Pacific’s endless blue or Haleakala’s rising slopes—feels intentional, drawing the outdoors inward. The result is a living gallery, where the boundaries between architecture and nature meld together.

A Connection to Place

For Legorreta, architecture was never separate from its environment. At Casa en Maui, the design is inseparable from the island’s landscapes. Windows frame ocean vistas and mountain horizons, while terraces naturally extend living spaces into the island’s natural beauty. This integration of indoor and outdoor worlds fosters a connection to the land, making the home feel like a natural extension of its surroundings. The estate exemplifies Legorreta’s belief that architecture should inspire while elevating the experience of daily living. Casa en Maui is a sanctuary where privacy meets grandeur, and Maui’s essence is ever-present.

Direct Keawakapu Beach Access and Uninterrupted Sunset Views

Casa en Maui bridges ocean and land in harmony along Maui’s Keawakapu coastline. Set on 0.87 acres of exclusive oceanfront property with 100+ feet of beachfront lanai space, the estate offers direct access to golden sands and calm, crystalline waters, connecting the home to its extraordinary location. Here, every element of the home is designed to celebrate the beach’s beauty, making it an intrinsic part of daily life. A serene and uncrowded setting, distanced from public access points, enhances the sense of seclusion and tranquility. Panoramic views of neighboring islands sweep the horizon, while Haleakala’s dramatic peak rises in the distance, grounding the home in the island’s striking duality. Legorreta’s architecture amplifies this extraordinary setting, framing the morning sunrise as it bathes Haleakala in light, and offers uninterrupted evening sunsets over the Pacific thanks to the home’s west-facing design.
