What happens when a home is treated not as a static structure, but as something that is alive, that grows, adapts, and responds to its surroundings?
Join us for an exhibition opening reception and experience how great design continues to thrive when it's truly LIVED IN.
"LIVED IN" is a visual journey through a series of Hawai‘i homes. These homes weren't frozen in the past. Like plants, they’ve been nurtured and adapted, rooted in original design yet shaped by climate, culture, and care.
The Scudder / Gillmar House was originally designed by visionary architect Alfred Preis and lovingly evolved and transformed over time by those who lived in it. The owner moved it, piece by piece, from Waikīkī to a nearby valley, keeping its spirit alive while adapting to a new environment. It’s not just about good design, it’s about the lasting relationship between people, place, and architecture.
WHEN: Monday August 4, 6pm - 7pm
WHERE: Center for Architecture, 828 Fort Street Mall, Suite 100
Light refreshments will be served.
EXHIBITION: Exhibition runs through August 31, 2025
