The renovation of the Hau`oli Mau Loa Foundation office by Hawaii Architecture was just awarded LEED Platinum certification and verified by the Green Building Certification Institute. Every component of the project was completed with sustainability in mind, from coordinating the recycling of construction waste, to the energy efficient fixtures, to the handcrafted, reclaimed wood reception mural made by the youth of Ma Ka Hana Ka `Ike. Hawaii Architecture and the Hau’oli Mau Loa Foundation worked together to make certain that the 4,285 sf office in the Dillingham Transportation Building ( listed on the National Historic Register) retained its original historical features while implementing sustainable upgrades throughout. The new design seamlessly blends the historic with the contemporary, and the end result is a sustainable, light filled space that provides a contemporary take on tradition.
