RIM Architects served as Architect of Record for the famous CanoeHouse, which is the Mauna Lani Resort’s iconic signature restaurant. During design and construction, the restaurant was largely preserved structurally, maintaining the large volume ceilings and heavy timber beams. The interior and exterior spaces, including the central bar, were completed renovated with a wide range of casual seating opportunities and exquisite décor. The CanoeHouse is recognized as the kitchen where modern Hawaiian cuisine pioneer Alan Wong made his mark. CanoeHouse is carrying on this tradition under Chef Matt Raso.
