  • The Liljestrand House, designed by renowned architect Vladimir Ossipoff for Howard and Betty Liljestrand, is a masterful example of mid-20th-century modern architecture nestled in the lush hills of Honolulu, Hawaii. Completed in 1952, the house seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living, reflecting Ossipoff's philosophy of "Hawaiian modernism." The design features extensive use of natural materials, such as wood and stone, large sliding glass doors, and expansive lanais that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The house's open floor plan and thoughtful attention to climate and site-specific conditions underscore Ossipoff's commitment to creating harmonized spaces with their environment.
    The Liljestrand Foundation, established by the Liljestrand family, aims to preserve and share the architectural and cultural significance of the Liljestrand House. The foundation provides educational programs, tours, and events to foster appreciation for Ossipoff's work and the broader context of mid-century modern design in Hawaii. By maintaining the house and its original furnishings, the foundation offers a unique glimpse into the lifestyle and aesthetic values of the period, ensuring that future generations can experience and learn from this architectural wonder. Please visit www.liljestran... to learn more about the foundation, the home, the history, and, most importantly, how you can get involved in helping preserve The Liljestrand House.

      That's the smartest move, I've been watching and doing my research for 3 years now. I don't want to rush into it untill I've designed a well thought out house. It doesn't have to be a mansion. I already bought my land and I want to do right by it and build a house that will set my heart ablaze. ❤

    My husband and I were so, so fortunate to have stayed in this home multiple times as guests of Howard Liljestrand, who married my Aunt Alberta (as his 2nd wife). Howard was a dear, kind man who always treated us as Ohana and like royalty! The home is truly magical. One of the birch logs in the fireplace was a Thank You gift from us that we sent him from Michigan! We will always remember Howard's generosity and friendship. We get chicken skin every time we see videos or photos of the home. Regards, Lori and Dennis

    My husband that works at UH got me a personal tour when I first visited away years ago. The built in features of this house go beyond expectations. The baseboard under a cabinet in the kitchen is the waste bin, just sweep everything in. The kitchen sink window lowers into the wall to become an open bar to the patio. Aircraft cabin lighting instead of standard lights. So many more thoughtful features that should be standards in households.

      Wow oh wow! i did the tour yesterday, i was blown away, what an absolute design masterpiece this house is, the thought that has gone into every single detail -- the house siting, interior layout, the finishing detailing, precision -- the combined work of a true, true genius Vladimir Ossipoff and the Liljestrand owners who very precise about what they wanted. The result is an architectural masterpiece This house designed and built some 70 years ago, incredibly far surpasses most modern houses of this time. Unlike today there is no glitz or showing off, high finishes in this house -- rather the house quietly unfolds itself, with integrity, soul, Its a very Japanese house. Ordered. Restrained. Functional. The iconic lounge views to Diamond Head and out to sea are out of this world. i urge any house / architectural buff to do this tour. You will be impressed. Thank you architect Steven our tour guide, and Trudy.

    There is spiritual energy in this house, full of ki. The views, the colours and style of furnishings, and it's modest rather than glamorous "look at me" architectural style. It's so natural and slips into its environment so perfectly. I guess I'm saying there is no "ego" in this house design. It is totally liveable. I love it! There is nothing better than Japanese aesthetics. I may not get to Hawaii (from OZ) in this lifetime, but thank you to the family for preserving this legacy and opening it up to the public.

    All homes should be built to accommodate the elderly and disabled. This will be better for everyone.
    Large wide doorways and hallways make using a cane, walker or wheel chair much easier.
    Bathrooms or wet rooms need to have flat floors and no shower hump or pan. A flat floor allows for easy access and drains need to provided.
    Easy to use lever door and faucet handles are easier for the elderly to grip and open.
    Main floors should include a master bedroom, restroom, shower, laundry and wide walk in closet with few steps to enter.
    Homes should be designed with aging in place in mind.
