Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's 1938 circle based design for Ralph Jester, the House of Sacred Circles is an adaptation of circles on a rectangular plane. Each circle functions as a pocket of activity interconnected by open spaces on an elevated single level. The design and construction began in 1990 and continues to be a work in progress with renovation and design changes underway in Spring 2007.
The house sits on 1.5 acres of land zoned for agriculture. Two old mango trees, a bumpy lemon tree and a pocket of wilderness have been preserved on the property where new plantings focus on native Hawaiian species, edibles and tropical flowers. Birds love the magnificent 50 feet high banyan trees that host an orchid grotto and shade visitors on entry to the House of Sacred Circles.
