2018 Architecture Awards

2018 Architecture Awards Build 115 Best Interior Design Studio - Hawaii Archipelago Hawaii Luxury Home Designs artfully creates refined environments combining elegance with everyday functionality and practicality of construction. We felt that, having just recognised the firm in our prestigious 2018 Architecture Awards, the time was right to profile it and learn the secrets behind this dynamic team’s success. ounded in 2003, Archipelago Hawaii is a dream fulfilled by founder and award-winning designer Tiare Pinto. She established TCB Island Interiors, Slipcovers, Etc., and Designs By Tiare, as well as co-owned Studio Becker-Honolulu. In 2007, Tiare merged her three companies with Studio Becker to form Archipelago Hawaii. This experience has brought to light the disconnect that so often happens when several experts are brought in on a project at different phases. This compelled Tiare to create a design team; bringing together the designer, structural engineer, general contractor and any other specialists necessary for each project. Working as a team from the inception of the project with Archipelago Hawaii leading the way has proven to create a more cohesive process and avoid costly changes and oversights. Since the beginning, Archipelago Hawaii has been designing whole homes, interiors, kitchens and baths in collaboration with architects, structural engineers, general contractors, and all other specialists.
