One Ocean, Hawaii

Every cosmopolitan family dreams of a home where the grass is greener. This family likes the finer things in life – with a penthouse apartment in New York City, an energetic lifestyle, and a taste for vibrancy – they came to us looking for something beyond what the bustling city can offer. So what must one do when accustomed to a certain quality of life while seeking simplicity for the senses?

Perched on Hawaii’s breathtaking coastline, One Ocean is a holiday home that introduces island serenity to this family’s metropolitan sophistication. Here, they can disconnect from the fast-paced urban lifestyle and indulge in their Hawaiian hideaway.

The 4000 SFT vacation home is a vision in Hawaiian architecture. The building interacts with its landscape in a way that feels effortless and intended. Expansive spaces that frame the views of the coastal outdoors, create the personality of this space.

This vacation home is a lesson in romanticising the natural surroundings; each space is thoughtfully crafted with a seamless indoor-outdoor transition. The lanai, or portico, extends the entrance of the house into the lush Hawaiian outdoors that feels like an organic part of the landscape. Comprising of natural materials and comfortable furnishings, the space is delicate, welcoming, and well-equipped to keep its residents comfortable despite the tropical climate.

Another sensory delight is the master bath. When designing it, White Noise Design Studio knew it had to be storybooklike, an adventure from a sleek indoor soaking tub to an outdoor standing shower enveloped in a private jungle-like setting.

The bath turns a simple task like bathing into a wholesome experience where one is connected to nature. Being engulfed by nature is like forest bathing at home, a truly immersive experience spatially, spiritually, and psychologically. The Tango of textures, from smooth stone surfaces to lush greenery, stretch the boundaries of what’s possible in residential spaces. The lanai and master bath are our favourite spaces for designing sylvan architecture and high-end luxury.

One Ocean is as much a place for reflection as it is for relaxation. The home is adorned in sandy neutral colours and rich wood tones that soothe the mind. Custom finishes like natural stone hand-crafted wood, and sleek artisanal metal accents are pleasing to the eye and elevate the visual experience. Bespoke furnishings- thoughtfully curated and designed- provide a perfect balance of comfort and style. Personalised furniture endorses collective spaces, conversations and memories the family will make for a lifetime.

We accentuated sweeping ocean views and unbelievable sceneries with the perfect lighting fixtures and ambient lighting. Each space in the vacation home is treated with utmost love and care. Each space is an ultimate retreat within a retreat.

True luxury comes with a deep understanding of how well a home will age. Natural stones, weather-resistant woods, premium finishes and quality workmanship ensure the home withstands Hawaii’s harsh tropical climate of humidity, salty air and relentless sunlight.

White Noise Design Studio intended for the materials in this vacation home to develop a patina over time, ageing beautifully and authentically, as its owners. Designing a home for its context proves to be intelligent years after the home is built. That is when the home finds its space on the ground where it is constructed, and claims it as its own.

The cherry on the cake is the owners of OneOcean are repeat clients at White Noise Design Studio. Our client-architect relationship goes way back to the first 2-bedroom apartment White Noise Design Studio made for this family, who found a home in our design sensibilities.

A beautiful relationship blossomed, and this idea of the Hawaiian vacation home was presented to WNDS with reverence. And so, a home that is lovingly crafted with an understanding of lifestyles, mutual preferences, attention to detail and a sense of luxury, is one that will age gracefully.
