Spiegel Aihara Workshop (SAW) telah merancang rumah Kauhikoa di pulau Maui. Sebuah rumah dengan dua kamar tidur yang tampak seperti sekumpulan bentuk yang berjatuhan dengan anggun ke dalam lanskapnya, yang merupakan bekas perkebunan nanas.
Rumah ini disusun oleh SAW sebagai “prefabrikasi hybrid”: sebuah konsep yang dimulai dengan inti pusat standar untuk fungsi rumah yang paling rumit secara teknis dan secara tradisional mahal, seperti kamar mandi dan peralatan mekanis, dan memungkinkan metodologi prefabrikasi atau konvensional yang berbeda. Pembingkaian yang akan dibangun di sekitarnya, membebaskan seluruh struktur untuk merespons konteksnya secara sederhana dan langsung.
Sebelumnya, pembangunan rumah Kauhikoa sempat terganggu karena pandemic. Namun akhirnya, proses pra-fabrikasi, rumah tersebut merupakan prototipe yang sukses untuk prinsip organisasi “Rumah Inti” dan kemudahan serta efisiensi yang diberikannya.
Rumah seluas 812 kaki persegi ini dibangun untuk pasangan yang membagi waktu antara Indonesia dan Maui. Hunian berisi dua kamar tidur, dua kamar mandi, ruang tamu dan dapur, tambahan ruang kerja dan penyimpanan loteng seluas 236 kaki persegi. Selain itu, ruang luar ruangan tertutup tambahan seluas 1000 kaki persegi, termasuk beranda besar yang berfungsi sebagai ruang tamu luar ruangan yang terhubung ke beranda kecil yang terus menerus. Modul Inti 163-sf, yang dikembangkan oleh SAW bekerja sama dengan Dustin Stephens, menampung dua kamar mandi, wastafel dapur dan dinding lemari, serta sistem mekanis; dan diapit oleh dua kamar tidur di kedua sisinya, memusatkan dapur terbuka dan ruang tamu.
The careful arrangement of domestic service functions within the cohttps://i.ibb.co.com/HXDckQM/B.jpgre helps to choreograph and maximize open space and easy circulation throughout the rest of the home, and particularly allows for the distinct framing of the outdoor spaces as central to the couple’s lifestyle and supported by the Hawaiian climate.
Salah satu pendiri SAW, Dan Spiegel, mengatakan, "Inti yang super ringkas memprogram setiap ruangan, hanya berdasarkan kedekatannya. Inti ini membawa DNA fungsi ruang yang bersebelahan. Tidak perlu apa pun di antaranya—tidak ada lorong, tidak ada transisi buffer saja. ruang hunian, selalu tertanam dalam lanskap di 3 sisinya."
Sistem layar termodulasi yang mencolok dari panel jati pra-fabrikasi yang meruncing secara ritmis yang dirakit di Bali berfungsi menyaring angin timur yang kuat dan sinar matahari pagi. Sekaligus menyediakan sistem rak untuk peralatan kehidupan Hawaii: sepeda, papan selancar, pakaian selam, dan kursi pantai di samping pancuran luar ruangan, yang digunakan sebagai pancuran utama.
Atap gudang rumah dan garasi serta paviliun rekreasi seluas 438 kaki persegi yang berdiri bebas di dekatnya, dimiringkan seperti kubus yang berjatuhan. Bentuknya saling bermain menyerupai lanskap pegunungan.
Overhang atap rumah yang dihasilkan menyediakan konstruksi sederhana dari beberapa lanai yang berkesinambungan, terhubung melintasi ruang bersama, dan memungkinkan ruang kerja loteng di kamar tidur utama (dengan balkon untuk menangkap pemandangan). Loteng penyimpanan terintegrasi ke puncak Core, dan suite tamu pribadi, intim, dan dapat dipisahkan sepenuhnya menuju ujung bawah lereng—melindungi matahari selatan. Semua furnitur dalam dan luar ruangan yang disediakan oleh pemilik rumah dibuat khusus di Indonesia.
Dalam konteks lanskap, rumah ini terletak di pojok belakang lahan, menghadap tepi selokan yang berhutan lebat. Sekaligus mengarahkan ruang hidup utama ke arah luar menghadap pemandangan Samudera Pasifik dan gunung berapi Haleakala dari arah berlawanan. Selain itu, rumah membuka ke arah matahari terbenam di barat. Massanya yang unik, kumpulan bentuk-bentuk yang berjatuhan di atas, merujuk pada pergerakan abstrak gelombang di cakrawala.
“Pemandangan di sini sangat dinamis,” jelas salah satu pendiri SAW, Megumi Aihara. Saat berdiri di lokasi, Anda dapat mulai merasakan bagaimana angin dan ombak mengukir dan membentuk pulau dari segala arah. Kami merasa penting bagi bangunan ini untuk merasa mengakar, namun juga terlibat secara main-main dalam transformasi multi-arah ini. Pendekatan dari jalan menunjukkan sesuatu yang tidak biasa telah menetap di sana ke dalam lanskap. Kemudian ketika Anda berbelok di sepanjang jalan masuk, bangunan itu terbuka untuk Anda."
Di Maui, di mana kelangkaan material, terbatasnya tenaga kerja, dan kompleksitas konstruksi karena cuaca yang tidak menentu dapat menyebabkan persediaan perumahan yang mahal dan berkualitas rendah. Rumah Kauhikoa adalah contoh rumah yang dibangun dengan biaya murah dan merespons konteksnya secara elegan dan progresif. Rumah dengan model desain berkualitas tinggi dengan harga terjangkau. Pada akhirnya, kata salah satu pendiri SAW, Dan Spiegel, “Ini adalah perpaduan antara desain tinggi dan rendah - ruang dan strategi lokasi yang dikalibrasi dengan cermat, namun penyelesaian akhir berbiaya rendah dan detail yang longgar. Beberapa gerakan besar dan sederhana mengatur segalanya.”
One of the homeowners, an avid surfer with an intrepid mindset, served as the general contractor and constructed much of the work himself. Enthralled by the process of reading the Hawaiian landscape through collaboration and design, he is now pursuing a graduate architecture degree at the University of Hawaii.

About SAW
SAW is a transdisciplinary design firm, operating at the nexus of architecture, landscape, and urban design.
This mix allows us to work across scales (from the tactile object to the city) and timelines (from the immediate to the ecological) at the onset of a project. We work to identify the blind spots between disciplines and take advantage of the hidden opportunities therein. We believe in the transformative power of good design, in the inextricable relationship between building and context, and in the vital role the built environment plays in the development of community. We view design as a collaborative, research based process, and work closely with clients to better understand their needs and advance their goals.
