BEAUMONT WOODS PLACE 3269 –

BEAUMONT WOODS PLACE 3269

The existing cliff dwelling needed a new access stair whose exposed wood stairs were rotting in the very wet Manoa climate. The design suggested to enclose the stairs and add a playhouse for the kids on top of the existing carport. The resulting structure reflected strcit city setback with double mansard roof covering the spacious stairwell. A flat roof a top the playhouse is now overlooking  Manoa Valley and the Oceanfront. The playhouse layout with mezzanine takes advantage of these spectacular views with its strategically placed windows. The application of an elastomeric membrane with curtain-wall expanded metal mesh prevent overheating and rotting of the facades.  The structure is naturally ventilated taking advantage of existing wind patterns and the interior finishes are simple yet elegant.
