Ahaha大廈是一個集歷史，文化和環境為一身的當代建築典範。做為該棟建築的載體，Ward Village項目獲得了城市總體規劃中住區發展項目的鉑金獎。坐落於歐胡島充滿活力的Kaka’ako社區，這棟40層，857000平方英尺的大廈為城市創造了311戶公寓單元，並將以工業和零售業為主導的社區環境打造成全時混合社區。
Combining history, context, and culture, the Anaha tower is an extraordinary example of contemporary architectural place-making. The condominium begins the implementation of Ward Village, which is largest Platinum Certified LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) masterplan in the country. Located in the vibrant Kaka’ako district of Oahu, the 40-story, 857,000-square-foot tower creates 311 condominium homes that will help transform the previously industrial and retail focused district into a 24-hour mixed use community.

Anaha在夏威夷語中意為“光的反射”。該塔樓波狀起伏的外貌受到島上傳統藝術中抽象海浪的啟發。一系列彼此連接又相互扭動的建築平面，搭配高科技的玻璃外牆，使建築周身在光照下展現出不斷變化的外貌，如同陽光下的海浪般閃爍耀眼，也令其成為海岸線的獨特風景。
Anaha means “reflection of light” in Hawaiian. The tower’s undulating form was inspired by the island’s artistic tradition of abstracting waves. Through a sequence of shifted, interlocking, and softly curved floor plates and its high performance glass curtain wall, the façade appears to be ever-changing in the light, like a wave shimmering in the sun, making the tower a distinctive and dynamic addition to the coast line.

塔樓的長向軸線充分利用了場地環境的有利條件。塔樓的主入口清晰明確的佈置在其正下方，而位於其側的零售商店和聯排房屋則帶動了整條Kamakee大街。零售商店沿街面步行道而設，茵鬱的步行環境讓建築與街道之間的生活煥發新生，也賦予建築一個可控的立面形態。
The orientation of the tower’s long axis is placed ‘Mauka-Makai’, or mountain to ocean, which preserves coastal views from inland vantage points. The tower is brought cleanly down to the street to mark the residential entrance. The podium retail and townhomes activate Kamakee Street. Retail spaces are arranged along a shaded pedestrian promenade that connects Auahi and Queen Streets and feature operable facades to connect directly and stimulate street life.

群樓上植有8000多種源自本土的熱帶植物，它們密佈於此，並貫穿至室內外空間。向上仰望，位於建築七層樓高80英尺處的玻璃水底泳池，與建築邊緣探出身來，懸挑長度達15英尺。其獨特的造型令人印象深刻。
Between the tower and podium geometries, a tranquil water feature is framed by one the country’s largest verdant ‘living walls’, which contains a blend of 8,000 indigenous tropical plants and passes through the lobby façade, connecting outside and in. Perched 80 feet above Auahi Street, a glass-bottomed, saltwater pool cantilevers 15 feet off the edge of the seventh floor amenity deck creating a memorable spectacle.

Anaha大廈以可持續的建造標準，打造出睦鄰友好的建築單體，同時也為居住者營造了舒適的生活環境。傳統的建築立面並不能很好的表達設計師的設計意圖，因此，設計團隊採用波動的立面輪廓，並大面積利用太陽能高效玻璃，實現了技術與美學的雙重標準。朱麗葉窗戶陽臺使得立面得以全部打開，讓海洋微風習習而來，為室內外居住空間帶來舒適的體驗。建築大量選用本地原生材料，並加大回收材料的使用比例，避免揮發性化學物質對居住者的傷害。廚房器具和工業配件均含有節能和節水特質。
The design for Anaha employs numerous sustainable strategies and materials to create a building that is both environmentally responsive and focused on resident comfort. Since conventional faceted glazing could not convey the design intent and sinuous contours of the facade, the design team turned to large-format, solar-efficient radiused glass to meet both the technical performance and desired aesthetic. Juliet balconies allow the façade to open up, taking advantage of warm ocean breezes and allowing for an indoor/outdoor living experience for residents. Locally sourced materials also contain recycled content to the greatest degree possible and were selected to reduce or eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Kitchen appliances and plumbing fixtures and fittings are energy- and water-conserving models.
