This tropical brutalist home, designed by architect Chip Detweiler, is a striking example of minimalist design that perfectly integrates with its natural surroundings. With open-screen windows inviting the tropical elements inside and floors made of volcanic lava stone, the home embodies the principles of passive architecture. Detweiler’s use of concrete, wood, and stone creates a clean, honest aesthetic that highlights simplicity and functionality. The bold structure, paired with deep ocean-blue accents, reflects the essence of tropical brutalism, offering a timeless connection to the Pacific landscape. The home’s recent restoration has revived its original vision, earning it a Historic Home designation that provides the owner with a reduced property tax benefit of $300 per year. Detweiler’s design not only captures the beauty of the environment but also delivers a space where luxury and functionality meet, enhancing the
experience of living both indoors and out.
