This Sensational Example of Tropical Minimalism in This Sensational Example of Tropical Minimalism in Hawaii Adopts Sliding Wood Screens, Carved Walls & More Alongside a lava flow dating from 1801 on the leeward coast of Hawaii (Kohala), this residence’s modern interpretation of indigenous island architecture connects the clients to nature, the region and its culture. The spaces between the pavilions are as important to the experience as the pavilions themselves. This exploration of void or emptiness, which the Japanese call ‘Ma’, sharpens focus on what the definition of space itself is, our relationship to it, and what remains. The result is an aesthetic the architects describe as tropical minimalism.

No Turning Back: A Lockdown Project by Bomax in Ba No Turning Back: A Lockdown Project by Bomax in Bamboo Lane It was March 2020 when architect owner Dion Walters found the courage to move the family out their Hout Bay cottage and demolish it in prep for a rebuild to create all the space and detail the four of them needed. FYI: They did not expect a lockdown. “After just dropping in the new precast concrete floor slab with a crane, we heard the first lockdown news. There was no turning back.” They hustled for progress and got the project envelope to a beautiful liveable result and continued into the slick interior. Key motivators: softer palette, Danish design, ocean inspired.

It’s contained in an old, vacant corner shop and is part of the MAPSA (Modern Arts Project South Africa) exhibition in Richmond, Northern Cape, South Africa.
