Walker Warner Architects utilizes custom Fabricoil® rainscreen at Hawaiian luxury beach home, Hale Nukumoi

Chainmail rain screen feature spills into circulating outdoor water feature

Functioning as a privacy screen, solar screen, and two-story rain screen, Cascade's coiled wire fabric material serves an array of functional benefits while complimenting the mix of dark timber cladding, pigmented concrete, dark clay tile textures, and dark metal accents used throughout the open-air beach retreat's exterior with a beautiful antique finish in stainless steel that blends seamlessly into the home's sophisticated palette while standing up to beachfront weather patterns. Attached to the main house's roof, the chainmail rain screen feature spills into a circulating outdoor water feature that runs along the entry path, exemplifying the tight bond between the building and landscape.

Hale Nukumoi is the quintessential Hawaiian beach retreat: open and casual—the opposite of fussy. Set amidst mature palm trees, the complex is ready-made for family and friends. Composed of a main house and guest house, the site features a large yard and pool, as well as beach access. An indoor/outdoor lifestyle is exemplified by the home’s airy design: large sliding doors and walls, a custom two-story rainscreen, and layered plantings balance connections to nature with privacy.
