Built not as a house,
but as a glimpse of the future.
After a 2011 TED talk that has now been watched more than seven million times, Graham Hill set out to build the physical answer to a simple question: how much abundance can the right design create?
The answer sits on a northwest-facing ridge in Ha‘ikū, Maui. 2,750 square feet of covered space, weightlessly tuned. A 14-kilowatt roof that generates more electricity than the house consumes. Twenty thousand gallons of captured rainwater. Fast Starlink throughout. A food forest of forty-four trees. No grid. No compromise on the experience of living.
What the photographs cannot show is the multiplication — a wall of transforming furniture that triples the functionality of every room. A peg-board system that becomes bookshelf, headboard, media wall, office. Every square foot is asked to do the work of three.
It has been filmed by HGTV, written up by The New York Times, Architectural Digest, Dwell, Cool Hunting and Inhabitat, and used as the living laboratory behind Graham's sustainability firm, The Carbonauts.
Its creator's work now requires presence in a large city, and we're looking for its next steward.
