Sans Souci Architect: Hammarbarg & Herman 2877 Kalakaua Avenue Built: 1961 The charm of San Souci, meaning “without care,” and its long history of hospitable lodgings date back to the late 1800s, with the original hotel immortalized by Robert Louis Stevenson. The crescent-shaped tower is oriented to maximize panoramic ocean views. Outrigger Canoe Club Architect: Vladimir Ossipoff & Associates; 2909 Kalakaua Avenue Wimberly, Whisenand, Allison & Tong Built: 1963 Originally founded in 1908, the current building is the third, constructed for the club under the direction of Walter McFarlane in 1963. Ossipoff’s signature inside-outside living concept also characterizes the clubhouse. Honolulu Elks Lodge #616 Architect: Bradley & Wong 2933 Kalakaua Avenue Built: 1960 Established in 1901 in Honolulu, the initial address for the Elks was simply “Hawaii, T.H.” The Elks moved to their present site in 1920 after purchasing the 155,000-square foot Castle estate for $1.00 per square foot. Almost four decades later, the present day Elks Lodge, designed by Bradley and Wong, was constructed. Castle Surf Architect: Alfred Sturgis 2937 Kalakaua Avenue Built: 1966 The James B. Castle mansion, known as Kainalu, once stood where today’s Castle Surf and Elks Club both stand. This six-story condo extends to the ocean and features charming details, such as the sculpture rising up the face of the building. The Tropic Seas Architect: Johnson & Perkins 2943 Kalakaua Avenue Built: 1958 Developed by Johnson & Perkins and slightly set back from Kalakaua Avenue, the complex was constructed in two increments with the 12-story building getting underway only five months after the 10-story portion. Diamond Head Beach Hotel & Residences Architect: Jo Paul Rognstad 2947 Kalakaua Avenue Built: 1969 Featuring an open, breezy street front structure, this 16-story building was the last major condominium project constructed on the Gold Coast. The building footprint mirrors the particularly long, narrow site. It bears resemblance to the 10-story apartment located at 3056 Kalakaua

Gordon warned her readers that the practitioners of the International Style, which she deplored as “barren,” were designing and promoting unlivable housing. She specifically condemned German immigrant architects Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as French architect Le Corbusier.

    New from Hawaiian Modern Yale University Press The Architecture of Vladimir Ossipoff In association with the Honolulu Academy of Arts Dean Sakamoto 304 pp. 243 b/w + 36 color illus. with Karla Britton and Diana Murphy ISBN 978-0-300-12146-9 $65.00 Foreword by Kenneth Frampton With Don J. Hibbard, Spencer Available at The Academy Shop Honolulu Academy of Arts Leineweber, and Marc Treib Phone: (808) 532-8703 Toll Free: (800) 829-5211 At the forefront of the postwar phenomenon known as tropical modernism, Vladimir Ossipoff (1907–1998) won recognition as the “master of Hawaiian architecture.” Although he practiced at a time of rapid growth and social change in Hawai`i, Ossipoff criticized large-scale development and advocated environmentally sensitive designs, developing a distinctive form of architecture appropriate to the lush topography, light, and microclimates of the Hawaiian islands. This book is the first to focus on Ossipoff’s career, presenting significant new material on the architect and situating him within the tropical modernist movement and the cultural context of the Pacific region. The authors discuss how Ossipoff synthesized Eastern and Western influences, including Japanese building techniques and modern architectural principles. In particular, they demonstrate that he drew inspiration from the interplay of indoor and outdoor space as advocated by such architects as Frank Lloyd Wright, applying these to the concerns and vernacular traditions of the tropics. The result was a vibrant and glamorous architectural style, captured vividly in archival images and new photography. As the corporate projects and private residences that Ossipoff created for such clients as IBM, Punahou School, Linus Pauling, Jr., and Clare Boothe Luce surpass their fiftieth anniversaries, critical assessment of these structures, offered here by distinguished scholars in the field, will illuminate Ossipoff’s contribution to the universal challenge of making architecture that is delightfully particular to its place and durable over time.

  • Guide to Nominating Residences to the Hawaii Register of Historic Places
    A GUIDE FOR NOMINATING RESIDENCES TO THE HAWAII REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Produced by Historic Hawaii Foundation HISTORIC HAWAII FOUNDATION’S GUIDE FOR NOMINATING RESIDENCES TO THE HAWAII REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES PREFACE When asked what is special about Hawai‘i, most people have no shortage of answers. There is an abundance of riches: the aloha spirit and unique mix of both distinct and intertwined cultures; the unique ecosystems; the clear blue water and white sand; the perfect blend of temperature, humidity, wind and sunshine; cultural, performing and visual arts from slack key guitar to hula; abundant recreational offerings; food that reflects the trans-Pacific culture of Hawaii. The residences of Hawai‘i may add yet another reason that Hawai‘i is special. The natural beauty of Hawai‘i is complemented by its neighborhoods, small towns, vernacular architecture, blend of indoor and outdoor design features, and other characteristics of the distinctive built environment of the Islands. The houses of Hawai‘i are a reflection of its physical setting and the social history. The Hawai‘i Register of Historic Places was established to recognize many types of cultural resources. In addition to residences, it also includes other sites that tell the rich and varied history of the Hawaiian Islands. Represented on the Register are places of commerce, agriculture, education, recreation, worship, community gathering, civic interaction and, yes, housing. We offer this Guide for Nominating Residences to the Hawai‘i Register of Historic Places in order to make the process more accessible to a wide variety of people. By answering frequently asked questions about the benefits and responsibilities, the process, and where to find information, we expect to see an increase in the number and type of sites listed on the historic register, and a renewed commitment to protecting significant historic properties.
