Living Green

Kihaku Pole Homes use only materials farmed from sustainable and renewable forests. Precutting and pre-drilling reduces waste and the precision of fabrication of the large timbers eliminates human error and saves extensive labor costs. The pole architecture does not disturb the natural topography of the land by eliminating grading and slab foundations. These homes sit gently on the land. The elevation of the home allows for a natural airflow and drying beneath the house. Natural airflow within the house is created with transoms and cupolas - healthy for the environment and the inhabitants. Kihaku Homes, built to last centuries, honors the time for natural resources to regenerate — avoiding “planned obsolescence.”
