Frank Lloyd Wright Lava Rock Home, Waimea, Hawaii

PanaViz was invited to photograph the only Frank Lloyd Wright home built in Hawaii. These pictures show why his design is timeless and still relevant.

History of Home:

Originally conceived for the Cornwell Family in Pennsylvania in 1954, the 3,700 sq. foot passive solar hemicycle home embodies Frank Lloyd Wright’s principles of organic architecture in which the structure blends harmoniously with the natural landscape.

The plans were prepared by Taliesin Associated Architects in Scottsdale, Arizona who are affiliated with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and the only entity authorized to oversee the construction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s unbuilt projects. The project was built by Hans Torweihe and the interior design was completed by Gina Willman

Completed in 1995 the home was commissioned by Sanderson Sims who partnered with Taliesin Associated Architects, John Rattenbury and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to bring the un-built plan to life.

Hotel and Resort Photography

PanaViz was contracted by the firm of Hawaii architect, Jeffrey Long, to document and showcase this fabulous Kapalua Resort Home.

This dwelling is one of only 4 beachfront properties available in prestigious Kapalua, Maui. A contemporary architectural masterpiece, it was a pleasure to photograph this lodging. We tried to capture the ambiance, location, and the many architectural features of this luxury Hawaiian Retreat through a combination of aerial panoramas and lots of still photos taken during the day, afternoon, evening and night.

Our aerial 360 virtual tours capture the magnificent oceanfront setting of this fabulous villa. Our full screen virtual tours also fabulously showcased the 18 foot disappearing Sapele corner pocket doors, and the fabulous wood detail on the ceilings.

As with many luxury Hawaiian lodgings, the division between indoor and outdoor living spaces are blurred, and we were able to show the beauty of this home and its surroundings through a combination of architectural still photographs and HD virtual tours.
