Ossipoff homes or any other architect designed homes for rent are desirable, yet hard to find, in Honolulu. So Home Shoppe Hawaii is pleased to be currently marketing for rent a 1961 Ossipoff designed home in Waialae Nui Ridge, above Kahala. Referred to by the Honolulu Acadamy of the Arts as “Hawaii’s most important modern architect[i],” Ossipoff was well known for incorporating the topography into his design, and for creating seamless indoor/outdoor living spaces.
This stunning Oahu rental property is built against the hillside, set apart from neighbors (also Ossipoff designed homes), so as to take advantage of the breathtaking ocean, Diamond Head, and city views.
Breathtaking views from this Ossipoff designed Oahu rental property.
Ossipoff designed over 1,000 homes in Hawaii, which are appreciated by both mid-century modern architecture lovers and those who desire a simplicity of design, which is oriented to Hawaii’s special environment. Ossipoff also designed many notable commercial buildings such as the Honolulu International Airport, McKinley High School, the IBM Building, and Davies Memorial Chapel, to name just a few.
Ossipoff homes often had built-in cabinetry that is as coveted as the design itself. Vintage features of many homes may include an Ossipoff designed pantry wall. Indeed, in the Ossipoff Honolulu rental property we currently have available, you will find a pantry wall; a relatively shallow pantry that spans the length of the kitchen, from floor to comfortable reach, with doors that slide horizontally back and forth.
Some renters may not actively seek an Ossipoff designed home, but it is nevertheless an important part of the history of the rental property, which distinguishes it from many others, and it is important to relay these unique attributes in the marketing of the property. Everyone loves a story, especially when it tangibly relates to Hawaii’s modern history.
