Course Preview
SHLTR Talks: Architect Greg Warner, Partner & Founder | Walker Warner, and Interior Designer Nicole Hollis, Creative Director & Principal | NicoleHollis, moderated by SHLTR Editor-in-Chief Zahid Sardar, explore how modern architecture and interiors can feel deeply Hawaiian without resorting to architectural costume, offering a more enduring model for building in the islands.
Grounded in restraint, climate, and place, the conversation examines how West Coast modernism has quietly shaped contemporary work in Hawaii not through grand gestures, but one house at a time. Greg and Nicole present residential projects, alongside a shared hospitality project in Kona that demonstrates how this approach extends beyond the private home.
Together, their work shows how modern design can engage local conditions and culture while resisting familiar tropes, such as thatched roofs and overt island motifs, proposing instead a disciplined, site-responsive modernism that is contemporary, adaptable.
The presentation is followed by an intriguing conversation with Zahid Sardar, Editor-in-Chief of SHLTR about how West Coast modernism has quietly shaped contemporary work in Hawaii not through grand gestures, but one house at a time, and are grounded in restraint, climate, and place.
