Contemporary Pod Style Home in Puu Lani Ranch First time offered for sale ~ the understated yet dramatic House of Light located in the gated upcountry community of Puu Lani Ranch. Designed by Hawaii Island architect Hai On and constructed of steel, cedar, polycarbonate panels and concrete this contemporary home offers built-in sustainability. Comprised of 4 pods (garage, living/kitchen/dining, master suite, and guest) surrounding a tranquil outdoor garden courtyard, this property is unique in both form and function. Translucent polycarbonate panels let the light in during the day and glow from the inside-out at night. Built with \"green\" living in mind, features of this home include cross ventilation, a double roof, passive lighting and a hybrid solar energy system. Covered walkways connect the pods and allow for true indoor/outdoor living (total of 3,204sf under roof). Sliding glass pocket doors open an entire wall in the living/kitchen/dining pod to the courtyard and garden area beyond. Brazilian teak flooring brings warmth to the master bedroom and main living area, while travertine is found in the rest of the home. Simple materials, clean lines, and an appreciation for the natural surroundings make this property a unique offering. The kitchen is understated yet fun and functional with colorful Italian-made Valcucine cabinets and a convenient pass-through to the adjacent covered patio with propane hookups for an outdoor kitchen and entertaining area. Enjoy a private outdoor shower or soak in the Japanese cedar furo located in a private courtyard off of the master bathroom. All spaces in this home are wheelchair accessible.
