Hawaiian modern: Vladimir Ossipoff in new territory

Article Abstract:

Architect Vladimir Ossipoff has many clubs, office buildings and airports to his credit, the most popular being the Honolulu International Airport and the Outrigger Canoe Club. Ossipoff's greatest contribution was the transformation of the traditional Hawaiian lanai, a distinguishing feature of Hawaiian architecture into a building type of its own.

At home with Frey

Article Abstract:

The author recalls very fond memories of living in Frey House II built by well known architect Albert Frey. The house was recreated as it was originally done in 1964 and its closeness with nature was preserved by a giant boulder from the rocky terrain outside which jutted through the glass wall next to the bed.
