The Residence
A sustainable sanctuary along the famed Red Road
Custom-built in 2019 by local artisan builder William “Billie” Olson, Makani Lani is a striking blend of island tradition and modern minimalism. Fourteen ironwood trees harvested from the land itself rise as the home's structural posts, framed by clear cedar, polished concrete and walls of glass beneath dramatic 30-foot ceilings.
The open floor plan centers on a gourmet kitchen with Garry Hoffield custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops and a 4' × 16' island and breakfast bar. Custom 16-foot pocket doors slide away to a 384 sq ft ground-floor lanai, blending indoors and out.
Upstairs, a catwalk connects the private wings. The primary suite occupies one end of the home with its own lanai, a spa-like bath with Kohler soaking tub and rain shower, and a walk-in closet room. The second bedroom, bath and office sit at the opposite end for privacy, and a 336 sq ft covered upper lanai in Ipe hardwood looks out toward the ocean.
A newly completed 240 sq ft bonus room offers a 4th bedroom, studio or office, and the 768 sq ft garage has been transformed into a home gym and dance studio.
Outside, a catchment swimming pool with a new wood deck offers a cool dip surrounded by tropical gardens.
