The interiors were designed by Ron Wilson and Joe Guidera. "They're contemporary, with island influences," Wilson notes. "We perked things up with some Hawaiian pieces." A Darrell Hill painting hangs in the entrance hall. Mimi London console.

For Jim and Michelle Falk's Maui house, "we tried a synthesis of island, bungalow and Mediterranean elements," says architect Joel Barkley, of Ike Kligerman Barkley. The rear façade. Janus et Cie chaises and tables. Michael Taylor fabrics.

The house's main volume is an open sequence, which includes the living area and kitchen. "The arch grounds the stick-y' feeling of the beam work and flying rafters and helps bring the scale down," John Ike explains.

During the design process, "they were very hands-on," Wilson, who had previously worked with the Falks, remembers. "I never want clients to say, Do it and call us when you're done.'" Separated from the lanai via glass pocket doors, the living area faces the Pacific.

"Fat cedar bungalow columns and finer rafters and beams give shelter to a bright dining area floored in sandstone. Not quite rustic, the bungalow elaboration is casual but carefully executed and finished," Thomas Kligerman says. Brown Jordan chairs.

Ike describes a dining area off the kitchen as "having an alfresco sense. The folding glass panels let in the ocean breezes."

On the lanai off the master wing, as throughout the residence, teak decking, cedar beams and rafters, and bamboo-and-teak balusters were used. Rocking chairs, Mimi London.

Designed as a split level, the house features a master wing that is raised above the main living area. Of the grounds, landscape architect Bill Mitchell, of Chris Hart Partners, says, "Coconut and foxtail palms frame the elevation of the home. The edges of the great lawn are defined with tropical shrubs and ground covers, including hibiscus and red ti. The planting also creates a spatial separation from the great lawn and the lower pool lanai."

Wilson and Guidera created the master bedroom's textile-draped four-poster.
