4505 Kahala Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96816
The acclaimed architect for 4505 Kahala Avenue was Fred N. Sutter.
Mr. Sutter is best known as the notable principal architect of The Kahala Hotel, along with the firm Killingsworth, Brady, and Sutter. His firm designed the luxury hotel, which opened in 1964 and is known for its modernist architecture and emphasis on indoor-outdoor living, a style exemplified by the hotel's design. The hotel's modernism, including its emphasis on structural purity and outdoor living spaces, helped to spread the style globally throughout the world.
Mr. Sutter brought these same design elements to 4505 Kahala Avenue, the subject property that he designed for Mr. William Weinberg, a former owner of The Kahala Hilton, known today as the Kahala Hotel. The design of this stunning modern oceanfront residence incorporates ideals of sleek, leisurely indoor/outdoor living into the homes architecture.
