Because of this we honor Kākuhihewa, the 15th aliʻi ʻaimoku (ruling chief) of Oʻahu, who was revered throughout the islands and brought a time of peace,...

CHEERS TO THE NEXT 5 YEARS!

Video shot 10 AM on October 22. One shot take baby!There is an old Hawaiian proverb that reads "He ali'i ka 'āina; he kauwā ke kanaka" which translates to "The land is a chief, man is it's servant."

Breaking the expression down in simpler terms, it means "Land has no need for man, but man needs the land and works it for a livelihood." Our approach to all of our designs has always employed this philosophy, and although we don't always work directly off the land, in a figurative sense, we have. The land that we firmly...
