Kahshe Lake Cottage / Solares Architecture
The story of Kahshe Lake Cottage started in 1987, when the parents of Solares’s own Tom Knezic bought the water-access property and built a small bunkie as a temporary shelter.

Formerly a lakeside summer camp, this property came with stringent zoning restrictions. Three existing buildings have been rebuilt, each one confined to the footprint of its original foundation.
The Kahua Kuili residence was conceived as a modern interpretation of a classic Hawaiian summer camp. The project site is located at the base of the island’s large cinder cone, Pu’u Kuili, and offers expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and Kua Bay as well as mountain views to Hualalai.
