The piston-operated pine sunshades lift upwards to protect the exterior deck and give residents the ability to manually modulate the home’s access to daylight and shade as the sun moves across the sky.

On Saturday, a number of CEU sessions, including conversations on refrigeration, ventilation, and universal design in the kitchen, took place in the home.

Here's a sample menu from the restaurant. "We wanted to subtly nod to the early to mid-20th century through choices like the logo 'stamp' for the packaging and hand-embossed menus on recycled cream paper stock," says Hooper.

The aloha spirit runs deep in Mahina & Sun’s, where the walls are covered with a shaka wallpaper by Andrew Mau. The cushions on the banquette seats were made with archived prints by Tori Richard, which were also used to create the headboards in the guest rooms and the men’s uniforms.

Built for a Brand Facu Fernandez and his colleagues Nati Lucero and Maxi Ciovich built Refugio for Camping, a space that reflected its focus on local beer and wine and the outdoor lifestyle.

It Met added a dozen custom tables to complete the casual outdoor space.

A Green Lantern on the Rooftop “We wanted to create a place that could embrace the frantic dynamics of a bar in a natural environment, but without loosing touch with the technical details,” says architect Facu Fernandez. “In the end, it's just a metal structure with big wooden boxes and plants growing all around it, a big green lantern on the roof of a building.”

Building a Better BarA series of five big metal rings linked by a four longitudinal beams forms the skeleton of the structure, built in studio and assembles on site. Clad in transparent sinusoidal polycarbonate sheets and filled with furniture crafted by the trio from guatambu hardwood panels, it can be easily disassembled, transported and then assembled again.

Stripping paint to reveal the beautiful riveting and aluminum was one the hardest but most rewarding tasks. To me, revealing the structure and construction honors the original craftsmanship that went into this trailer.

The museum worked closely with Jack Beyer of the New York-based firm Beyer Blinder Belle, which specializes in architectural preservation. The team worked painstakingly to preserve the natural patina that had accrued over time, including the granite staircase.

The men's clothing gallery had many dapper duds.

A subtle, triangular shape on the upper end of its frame makes this lean, full-body floor mirror by KaschKasch for Menu apt for small spaces. Lean it against a wall or nestle it in a corner—no installation required.
