From dramatic oceanfront homes to old cottages full of memories for families who have lived in them for generations, Hawaiian houses radiate feelings of happiness and tranquility. As people from all over the world have put down roots in the islands, the most interesting houses reflect a fascinating blend of international motifs and more traditional Hawaiian ambiance, an informal eclectic style that is perfectly suited to contemporary lifestyles. "The Hawaiian House Now" takes the reader on a tour of 21 specially photographed homes throughout the islands, including houses that update the 'aloha spirit' of traditional Hawaii, town houses in Honolulu, country houses, fantasy houses that express a personal vision, houses that blend the indoors and outdoors, original architectural statements and, of course, beach houses.
