In 2015 It was my honor to have the opportunity to photograph the only Frank Lloyd Wright home in the State of Hawaii. Surprisingly I never knew the home existed and to find out it was in my own hometown of Waimea Hawaii was really astounding.
The home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright was an unbuilt project designed in 1954, but shelved until 1984 and finally built in 1995 and was called the Cornwall residence. The plans were prepared by Taliesin Associated Architects in Scottsdale, Arizona who are affiliated with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and the only entity authorized to oversee the construction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s unbuilt projects. The project was built by local builder Hans Torweihe and some recent interior design work by Willman Interiors.
The home sits on close to 3 acres right on a bluff over looking Keanuiomano Stream and in the distance looms the amazing views of Mauna Kea Volcano, Mauna Loa Volcano and Hualalai Volcano. The property takes full advantage of some of the best views on the Big Island.
The home is privately owned, but they do allow the home to be rented for vacationers or Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiasts. Here is the VRBO link
