KOHANAIKI MASTERPLAN

Kailua Kona, HI

Client:

Rutter/KW Kohanaiki LLC

Lot area:

450 acres

Density:

1.1 units/AC

Status:

Construction

A 450-acre site with two miles of ocean frontage along the scenic Kona Coast of Hawaii is being developed as a prestige private resort community with 500 one-acre and half-acre homesites positioned throughout a magnificent 18-hole golf course.

Along the seafront, the land planning treads lightly to preserve the coastal environment. Elsewhere in places, the largely flat existing topography is modified for the golf course, and to create two tiers for the clustered homesites, to optimize coastal and golf course views. Larger one-acre estates and half-acre sites are placed closer to the coast; denser clusters will be further inland. The clustered residential enclaves allow for large areas of the site to remain open for fairways and open space, while enhancing the appeal of each residential setting.

Designed by preeminent designer Rees Jones, the 7,200 yard championship golf course includes six spectacular holes running parallel to the ocean. A golf clubhouse provides ancillary amenities such as resident dining, tennis courts, and workout facilities. Separate Men’s and Women’s Locker Room structures provide optimum privacy for the golfing residents and guests.

The new Southwest Campus of the University of California Los Angeles provides much needed housing for 1,380 graduate students. Courtyard housing and street-level, walk-up townhomes concealing partial subterranean parking garages are influenced by traditional southern California residential prototypes. An arched breezeway leads to the central courtyard of each building. The project’s Spanish Colonial style responds to the original design guidelines of historic Westwood Village. Classical styling and a quad with lawns and palm plaza mark the center of the project, contrasting with the vernacular style and informal landscape elsewhere. Wood and wrought-iron balconies, tile and plaster detailing add visual interest throughout.

UCLA Southwest Campus Housing Phasing Plan

The project had a budget of 130 million dollars. To increase the bid pool, the project was broken into smaller scopes of work. Also to expedite the schedule, the project was phased into Phase I for Site grading and Infrastructure, Phase II comprised of building construction and rough site work, and Phase III allowing for finish grading and landscaping.
