Green technology: The estate’s electrical needs are partially powered by twenty-four solar voltaic panels on the garage roof. Water is heated by solar power with a back up hot water heater and a recirculation hot water system. In addition, a separate solar hot water system powers the pool hot water system. Solar powered fans are in interior attics in all pavilions. Ceilings are insulated and all the overhangs contain painted teak wood air vents. The house is designed and situated on the large property to capture and take advantage of the cooling trade winds. Solar storage batteries for the solar voltaic panels are inside the garage allowing the potential for off-line emergency power in the home. The battery can be used to power up battery-operated vehicles.
Landscape architect Mike Matoda of Walters Kimura and Matoda designed gardens.
A lighting specialist designed the interior and exterior lighting.
The entire property is walled or fenced and bordered with areca palms.
ENTRY
Stone lanterns lead up the wide walkway from the street to the 19th century hand carved double teak doors from Bali. Once opened, you enter into a magical enclosed garden where carved deities and demons hide among the plants. Stone pillars topped with large antique glazed pots from Java lead you on across a stream that flows downward over volcanic rocks to a larger pond set in a Japanese inspired garden. Custom night lighting is from Bali.
GARAGE PAVILION:
A three-car garage is separated into a two car bay and a one car bay. The one car bay has an opening through a large teak and glass sliding door to a covered and protected workshop area bordering a private walled garden. The garage ceilings as in the rest of the house are insulated. There are two ceiling fans and louvered windows to provide air circulation.
The driveway is accessed through electrically powered hand carved double teak gates that open to a large protected and private area leading to the main garage entry doors.
