Artist Residence
north kohala, HAWAII


Lead Architect for residential New Construction
Perched high on 2.9 acres in northern Kohala, this custom-designed single-family residence offers 1,210 square feet of light-filled living space with 1 bedroom and 1.5 baths, paired with a generous 2,000-square-foot artist workshop. A sleek modern shed roof and stained vertical cypress cladding blend beautifully into the landscape, while the large covered lanai frames breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Thoughtfully sited to maximize vistas and shield from prevailing winds, this sanctuary supports creativity, serenity, and connection to the land.
“Where do we even begin? We can't say enough good things about Jen!
From the start, we had a very specific vision for our home-but also a very limited budget. Jen expertly guided us through the entire process, helping us align our lofty ideas with the realities of what we could afford, without making us feel like we had to compromise on our dream. She was incredibly responsive to all our questions and made sure that we understood each step of the process, empowering us to make decisions that fit our lifestyle and finances. Thanks to Jen, what could have been a stressful experience turned into something truly fun and rewarding. We will forever be grateful to her for helping make a dream home a reality.“
With appreciation, Niki and Christian
