Aloha from Maresa,

How did you love the land today? We all know the importance of maintaining and appreciating our paradise. If you are concerned about the natural resources that will be available for future generations, start by considering your own home. By making conscious decisions about what it is in your home, how it is constructed, and how it operates, you will be on your way to making a substantial contribution to sustainability. This issue’s cover home, Kalihi Kai Vista is the first certified LEED® Platinum Home on Kaua’i. Presented exclusively by Paul Kyno and located on the North Shore, this exquisite property was designed and built for a conscious level of luxury. From careful deconstruction of the existing structure, to using LED lighting, a photovoltaic system, recycled materials and FSC certified wood with the new buildings, green never looked so good.
