Sustainability & Preservation

We firmly believe that sustainability is at the core of preservation. Older buildings, in many ways, embody sustainable design principles. Designed for simplicity, durability, and responsiveness to the unique microclimates of Hawaii, they offer valuable lessons for contemporary architecture.

We take pride in re-adapting and retaining existing structures, fostering a sense of place and connection. By breathing new life into old buildings, we contribute to a more sustainable future while honoring the rich history of Hawaii's built environment.

MAson advocates for new construction that integrates sustainable design principles seamlessly. We strive to use non-toxic and environmentally conscious materials and select building systems that maximize efficiency and economic sense for our clients. By learning from the past and embracing innovative solutions, we are creating a legacy of sustainable architecture for generations to come.
