Experience the true essence of tropical living. On the North Shore of Kauai, above picturesque Anini Beach, lies Anini Vista. It is here, where acclaimed Italian architect Gianni Francione heralded innovative tropical design, allowing for the environment to take center stage. On three acres, flush with opulent landscaping that includes plumeria, bromeliads and exotic orchids in trees, is the backdrop for an avant-garde architectural creation that fuses the unorthodox use of materials with a modern aesthetic. Having spent decades in Bali, the architect envisioned this home where refined sensibilities and an urbane tone meets functionality.The stunning home invites the outdoors in. The edgy design will beckon fans of modernism in architecture but it will appeal to those who appreciate the unusual and noteworthy. The seascape stretches to the historic Kilaeau Lighthouse and can be experienced from most rooms in the home.
