Hunton Conrad

Designer

Hunton Conrad was born and grew up in Hawai'i. After many years of travel on the mainland and around the world, he returned to Hawai'i 25 years ago. He started in landscape design, and in just a few years became recognized as one of the most inventive landscape designers in Hawai'i. Today, he is an artist whose art form is "environments." His work draws on the three professions that comprise environments -- architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design. His work on the Oma'opio Ridge project includes landscape design as well as the design of all the homes that are being constructed.

His most recent major project, beside Oma'opio Ridge, has been the complete design and renovation of the Hotel Hana-Maui, an exclusive, resort property on Maui's east coast. The renovation includes all rooms, the Sea Ranch Cottages, the public areas, and the landscaping, as well as the construction of the spa and fitness center.

Previously, he has

• developed and supervised the design of the site plan, architectural plan, interiors, and landscape plan of Coconut Plaza Hotel in Honolulu;
• designed gardens for the historic Bailey House Museusm in Wailuku, the Kahului Public Library Courtyard Garden for the Native Hawaiian Plant Society, and the historic Lahaina Courthouse; and
• designed numerous residences and landscapes for clients throughout the Hawaiian Islands, the U.S. mainland, Europe, and New Zealand.
