Works: On the Water Series | Punahou School

Punahou School in Honolulu this well regarded children’s academy exists on an island – between mountains and seas. All of architect John Hara decisions about siting and massing are a response to these constraints. We worked to support and subtly reinforce the breezy open feeling of the architecture, careful never to interfere with views to the sea. The light in Honolulu is strong! Our design features bright ceilings and uses simple and robust fittings.
