The Lanai – An Often Forgotten Piece of Hawaii Realestate
In the January article I talked about a property review that I offer. One certaintly
would not want to overlook useable space that adds value to our property. Whether
wrapped around a house ,extending from a room, perched many stories up off a
condominium, an extension of a lobby or even a transition space , the lanai is a most
valuable addition to a Hawai property .
This precious intermingled space is often forgotten, unappreciated, and often misused,
when it can be embraced for the treasure that it is. Often this very special place called
the lanai is either cluttered with excess, unused items or sorrowfully neglected for the
beneficial space that it can be. Whether for home , business , hospitality or recreation
the lanai is a valuable extension of the property – and a very special one we enjoy in Hawaii.
When storage is a problem, as it often can be, that is a good time to sort for needed items.
Choose items carefully to create viable, enchanting spaces for the lanai and elsewhere.
Items not used can go to people and places, that can use them. For temporary storage
use other choices, but don’t give up your lanai. There are so many means of storage.
The lanai can be an extra room, garden, outdoor kitchen, eating area or a quiet retreat.
These spaces can be as simple as a well placed chair among plantscaped greenery
to entire outdoor rooms with unique wonderful features such as specialty cooking areas,
theaters, recreation and so many unique features for home , hospitality or business. I know
I enjoy seeing these spaces creatively used.
As with any projects, spaces can be planned with a vision of creative possibilities. I have
designed a custom gate and door which can draw focus to invite you into the space,
while a vined trellis was planned to obscure what was chosen not to be seen. In the DESIGN
section of my website a kitchen renovation provided an easy access pass thru window/ counter
to the lanai/ barbeque ares. In a compact condo lanai, dining was provided, as well as, reclining
relaxation to enjoy the view or favorite T. V. show visible from a moveable custom T.V. unit within the
livingroom. Each space is different with it’s’ own guides and Client preferences.
With space at such a premium, to take better advantage and to use it well – is a must.
These interium rooms mingled among spaces that enjoythe fresh yet salt air and sun
of the outdoors also need a certain amount of protection for the users and for the items
selected for those spaces. Proper choices made with many considerations give better
use and longevity for these treasured areas. Creativity can make unused spaces into
increased realestate value.
Whether for Home, Hospitality or Business re-evaluatinghow we use our lanai spaces
can give us more useable spaces, better views and value to neighboring properties
and even increased revenue for Hotels and Bussineses.

endless and affordable!
