Walker Warner Architects together with Stone Interiors, have completed Hale Nukumoi, a contemporary beach house in Kauai, Hawaii, that has an open and casual floor plan.
Located right next to a public beach, the house makes use of oversized sliding doors and a custom rain screen that close the house when desired for privacy.

The architects also worked with landscape architect Ron Lutsko to create a welcoming atmosphere for the home. One of the details they designed was a copper mesh rain curtain that creates a layer of privacy on the park side of the home, manages run-off rainwater from the roof and acts as a fountain and rain feature.

The path leads from the street to the open main living and dining area. When the sliding doors are open, you can see water views.
