literally done hundreds.

the breezes and views.

A few tips on alterations
& additions:
- Be careful not to overbuild
for your neighborhood.
- Multi-generational homes are
popular in Hawaii, but they need to be carefully planned
to give everyone their indoor and outdoor private spaces
as well as common areas.
- A good addition appears to
be a seamless enlargement of the original
design.
- You can get Hawaii
