The Ki Mission
At Ki Concepts, we seek to explore, reveal and express the concept of “Ki” in how we work, collaborate and give form to our designs
Ki Concepts believes that Great Design should be the foundation of all we create and we strive for design excellence. Great Design is evocative; it is experiential; and while not always understood, it is felt.
Another driving force for Ki Concepts is the importance of leaving this world a better place for future generations. Not content to just simply mitigate and maintain, we develop solutions and relationships through our projects that enhance, improve and ultimately regenerate a place. We seek to use the design process as a tool to create healthy, sustainable outcomes for the short and long term.
In order to create an unforgettable landscape, there is a sequence of actions to conceptualize and build an environment that meets our client’s vision and needs. At its
best, it transcends function and the problem solving of site. Through thorough analysis and intuitive response to our client and site, a “Great Design” emerges, revealing and celebrating the spirit of place. Design is part art and part science, it is the act of creation and the creation itself; it is process and the product. Ki embodies qualities of balance,
harmony, energy, unity, and
deep appreciation for the spirit of place.
“
”
Great Design is evocative;
it is experiential;
and while not always understood,
it is felt.
“
”
We are led by two principals with experience from around the Pacific including Japan, Seattle, San Francisco and, for many years, the Hawaiian Islands. Ki Concepts team members are firmly rooted in Hawai`i but our experience hails from many places including Canada, San Francisco and Seattle. Our skills and expertise cover a broad spectrum of landscape planning and design and each member brings with them new and exciting design ideas.
Our internal team rallies behind service, serving our clients and community with excellence. From listening and “reading between the lines”, our strong ability to communicate to the detailed management of our projects, Ki Concepts strives to provide exceptional service and innovation that continuously exceeds expectations.
At Ki Concepts the idea and practice of team is a crucial one. Particularly as a small firm, it comes down to people: who is doing the work and how we do it. The Ki Concepts team is comprised of five core individuals whose diverse expertise and passion includes landscape architecture, architecture, horticulture, arboriculture and planning. They are supported by equally committed landscape designers, designers, graphic artists, interns and administrative staff. What binds us is our passion and commitment to Hawai`i, the ‘aina and its people.
Together we pride ourselves on our collaborative approach utilizing our skills and talents which allows us to connect with our clients, other design professionals and key stakeholders, to identify, define and give form to each project’s unique vision. We believe in the power of synergy created by combining passion, knowledge and focus in an open exchange of ideas and possibilities while seeking creative, innovative yet practical solutions.

Ki Concepts developed an overall Landscape Master Plan with
the intention to enrich the Princeville community with Hawai`i’s
historical culture, while integrating a resort lifestyle with a
hands on learning experience. Several themes were employed
as a means to convey this concept including; restoring native
vegetation zones, building themed gardens such as: a
medicinal herb and wetland garden, using traditional building
materials and methods of building, and constructing green
infrastructure such as bioswales and rain gardens. Along with
the landscape plan, a descriptive report was created to explain
the masterplan and concept design in specific detail.
The first phase of the project was the community entrance
and associated entry markers. The design consists of a
contemporized ancient Hawaiian rock wall base that features a
backlit sign. The sign is set into the landscape and accentuated
by native Hawaiian cultural plants. Visitors are guided to the
entrance by two smaller markers that designed in the same
style as that of the entry sign.
The completion of the entry design marked the beginning of
phase 2, the design of the landscape surrounding buildings
1 and 2 and a schematic design that incorporates areas for
passive recreation, fruit picking, and plant propagation.

As a component of the highly coveted Kukui`ula project, a
1,000 acre private community located in Koloa on the island
of Kaua`i, Ki Concepts designed lush tropical landscapes to
surround over 30 luxury residential homes. The homes nestle
seamlessly into the landscape of the surrounding golf course
and then open up into a central space that is anchored by
water feature that has the appearance of a natural lake.
Although every individual lot varies in size, each consists of
an exquisite landscape that envelops the outdoor terraces,
BBQ grill areas, pools and spas. Although blended with other
ornamental plants, native and Polynesian canoe plants are at
the forefront of this design to create gardens that complement
the plantation style architecture of the homes .

Located adjacent to the Four Seasons Resort in upcountry
Lana`i, this exclusive resort style community nestles seamlessly
into the surrounding natural landscape. Villas of Koele connects
to the world renowned Koele golf course and features large
natural ponds and water features.
Following the theme of the established Koele Master Plan,
Ki Concepts designed lush landscapes for the communities’
common areas, entryways and pedestrian walkways. Unwanted
views were screened while exquisite designs were created
for each home’s individual lanai and surrounding garden.
Existing Cook Pines create a microclimate that captures rain
fall and minimizes irrigation requirements, so unlike many
traditional resort landscapes, the plant material chosen for this
project needed to flourish in the cooler climate of this 3000
foot elevation, complement the natural landscape while still
remaining connected to upcountry feel. Exotic ornamentals
and native plants meld together to create a breath taking and
unique landscape that can be enjoyed by homeowners and
visitors alike.

Ki Concepts was the landscape architect on an interdisciplinary team led by Flansburgh Architects to create a sustainable master
plan for the Kanu o ka ‘Āina New Century Public Charter School. The school is part of the Kanu o ka ‘Āina Learning ‘Ohana (KALO),
a community-based non-profit organization committed to the advancement of Hawaiian culture for a sustainable Hawai‘i. Programs
at KALO are geared toward ‘cradle to tomb’ education for a family of learners from K-12 and the larger community. KALO and
its partners work to establish a dynamic, holistic educational environment where project based learning centers on empowering
community members to thrive in the modern world while drawing from Hawaiian values such as Aloha kekahi I kekahi (Love one
another), MĀlama i kou kuleana (Take care of your responsibilities) and MĀlama ‘aina (taking care of livings systems that sustain us).
Located in the Pu‘ukapu foothills at the edge of Waimea at the base of Mauna Kea and the Kohala Mountains , KALO’s new, thirty-acre
campus pays homage and derives inspiration from its magnificent setting. The campus is laid out as village or kulanakauhale around
a piko, or central open space that allows views to the surrounding landscape. Here the KALO community gathers for makahiki, daily
protocols and other community events. The modular design of the buildings allow for incremental construction as the campus grows.
The landscape concept is organized along a continuum of built structures, the village of classrooms and learning facilities; gardens
and orchards at the village edges; the agricultural landscape of pastured paddocks and larger campus gardens and finally to ponds
and a restored native forest, all linked by walking trails. This symbolic transect alludes to the region’s landscape evolution and to
the Native Hawaiians’ intimate relationship with nature, the land or ‘aina as well as Waimea’s paniolo, or Cowboys, and agricultural
heritage. Sustainable design and practices including natural drainage, rainwater catchment, native plant usage and propagation,
native forest restoration, food gardens, and photo-voltaics are highlighted in the campus design as environmental, educational and
cultural learning opportunities. The design team worked closely with the students and faculty during the design process to identify
their needs but also to engage students in learning about design.

National Football League Youth Education Town Hawaii (NFL YET) is built on 1.6 acres of Department of Hawaiian Home Lands
located in Nanakuli. It is the first LEED Gold Certified afterschool program in the NFL YET network. Managed by the Boys & Girls
Club of Hawaii, Youth Education Towns are designed to help youngsters succeed by providing educational assistance, job training,
technical instruction, life skills development and fitness and recreational outlets.
The Nanakuli YET sits on an ancient coral terrace, so preserving the existing features and minimal impact to the site were an important
aspect of the design. The landscape elements were selected based on their functional compatibility with the existing land forms and
with minimal grading, existing coral rock was reused for walls, terraces, features, channels, swales and borders.
This site was designed to be a microcosm of an ahupua’a, an ancient Hawaiian land division system, where water plays a vital
role. The region is very dry so a dryland garden was designed with coastal and dryland native and Polynesian introduced plants.
Rainwater is collected from 75% of the roof and stored in a 5000 gallon steel tank which was then used to nourish an edible garden.
The water is delivered to the crops through a gravity fed auwai, an open irrigation channel, constructed of coral rock that creates an
attractive border between the pathway and the dryland garden. The other 25% of the rainwater is collected in a downspout that spills
into a rock basin that then overflows into a rock swale. This runoff slowly flows down the swale and percolates back into the soil. An
Ahu, stone marker, stands over the drywell memorializing the return of the water to the ground at the site entrance.
All gardens are connected by a meandering garden path which flows toward existing lawn terraces. These terraces spill down a bowl-
shaped slope and provide a seating area for an amphitheater before it flattens at the bottom to create a natural stage.
Each individual garden area helps to educate the youth and provides usable spaces for life skills development, fitness and recreation.

West Hawaii Explorations Academy is currently housed on a 1.5
acre site at the Hawaii Ocean Science and Technology (HOST)
Park at Keahole Point in Kona, Hawai`i’s. To accommodate the
growing student enrollment, Hawaii’s first Charter High School
and Middle School plans to relocate to a new 4.8 acre parcel of
land at HOST, which is essentially an open lava field.
Ki Concepts was the landscape architect on an interdisciplinary
team led by Ferraro Choi and Associates. The team assisted in
the creation of the project based learning school’s sustainable
master plan for an estimated 300 students. The facilities
included classrooms, administrative offices, conference rooms,
areas for the academic disciplines of STEM, wet laboratories,
computer laboratories and a certified kitchen. The campus
design features a shark and reef touch pool, an amphitheater
as well as agriculture and aquaponic project areas displayed
in a village arrangement. Sustainable site design strategies
include the use of pervious and soil stabilized paving,
stormwater infiltration and high efficiency irrigation. Using deep
sea ocean water for cool temperature crops and condensate
irrigation water, garden beds were created for student initiated
agricultural projects while others were filled with native and
drought tolerant plants. The site design features a xeriscape
of lava rock and native planting to reflect its regional setting.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) new Pacific Regional Center is located on a national historic
landmark site of Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, originally known as Moku ‘ume‘ume, or “the isle of attraction”. The project expresses the
strong environmental ethos of both NOAA and that of the indigenous Hawaiian culture.
Featuring the adaptive reuse of two World War II-era aircraft hangers and its surrounding airfield, the 22-acre campus consolidates
these two massive hangers by constructing a new building in the space between, thereby creating a new 350,000 square foot
administrative headquarters and research center. The new campus design features high-performance architectural and landscape
architectural elements with a focus on native plants, Hawaiian culture, and the site’s layered history. Using landscape as a medium,
the design utilized a diverse native plant palette and artfully reveals the many facets of the historic site and its regional and cultural
context. The site is organized along a strong central axis that can be drawn from the distant Wai‘anae and Ko‘olau Mountains,
across Pearl Harbor, through the heart of the building and out the other side, across the parking area to the entry promenade which
is anchored by a restored compass rose. It welcomes visitors as it slices through the bullet-strafed former airfield tarmac, recalling
the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor and the site’s military history. The compass is set into cut lava and concrete paving, surrounded by
repurposed concrete salvaged from the partial demolition of the historic tarmac
The tarmac has been fully repurposed, serving simultaneously as vehicular parking, a wartime artifact and as green infrastructure that
performs storm water mitigation via constructed native grass bio-swales that detain, cleanse and infiltrate rainwater runoff. Concrete
bands transect the porous paving, running from the building’s rainwater downspouts, and allude to the fact that the water is being
used to irrigate the landscape. These concrete bands also bear the Hawaiian names of corresponding traditional land division units,
called ahupua‘a, which can be observed in the distant mountain landscape.
The restorative and regenerative design of NOAA’s Pacific Regional Center is an important first step in revealing the many nuanced
layers of the cultural and environmental history of Hawai‘i.

Ki Concepts is leading a multi-disciplinary team to provide
major improvements to this historic and cultural landmark,
the 116 acre memorial cemetery in Honolulu, Hawaii located
in Puowaina Crater, also known as Punchbowl. Punchbowl
Cemetery is one of Oahu’s most visited destinations. The
team was tasked with assessing the cemetery’s expansion
capacity while maintaining and enhancing its unique
historic, cultural and visual character. The project’s program
includes increasing interment capacity by 9,000+ columbaria
niches to accommodate projected burial capacity for fifteen
years; demolition of the existing Administration and Visitor
facility; construction of a new Public Information Center
and Administration (PIC/Admin) Facility with LEED Silver
certification; renovation of an existing maintenance building;
new Memorial Walls and other infrastructure improvements to
the cemetery.
The team’s biggest challenge was to how to integrate the
design of the new PIC/Admin building on the highly visible
flank of Puowaina, within the City’s Punchbowl Special Design
District. Our design process involved community stakeholder
outreach and three dimensional visual simulation to ensure
community support of the expansion and a sensitive fit within
the urban landscape. Also complex construction phasing
strategies were incorporated to maintain continual operations
of this highly visited site in order to continue the cemetery’s role
in fulfilling our nation’s and community’s mission of honoring
our veterans.

The Hilo Bayfront Beach Park is located on Hilo’s largest and most important beach, an iconic ¼ mile crescent of black sand that
is fringed by vegetation. The terrain of this park was extensively reshaped by both the 1946 and the 1960 monumental tsunamis
that devastated the Hilo Bay Harbor and the existing shore front Japanese camps that resided there. It is now considered a well-
known flood zone that cannot sustain any permanent structures and therefore lends itself more to waterfront recreational and cultural
activities rather than to shoreline development. The current layout of the site has arisen more or less by happenstance and is not
the most suitable arrangement in terms of function, equitability, or aesthetics so a proposed masterplan, created by Hawai’i County
Department of Parks and Recreation and Ki Concepts, was created to address this lack of functionality and to improve the area.
Hawaii Administrative Rules state the Class A water that is found in Hilo bay is valuable for recreational purposes and aesthetic
enjoyment. Canoeing and other forms of shoreline recreation, including: surfing, fishing, kayaking and swimming, are the principle
ongoing activities within the site and therefore, the basis for the park redesign was to improve the space for the many recreational
activities including canoe-related functions that are held there.
Multiple halau for storage of canoes were proposed designed in a Hawaiian Village style concept for structure and layout. The design
also included: a judges stand, picnic pavillions, an ahu (cultural gathering place), walking/bike pathways with interpretive signage,
beach/ocean access for recreation, improved park access, emergency access in the event of flood conditions, a comfort station and
picnic pavilions. Other considerations were improvements to vehicular and pedestrian circulation and accommodation of the county’s
management and maintenance of the park.
The design also highlighted the cultural and historical significances of the site including: to respect and memoralize her Highness
Ruth Luka Keanolani Kauanahoahoa KeelikĀlani, a member of the Kamehameha family, who served as Royal Governor of the Island of
Hawaii, as well as paying tribute the abundance of natural resources including fishponds that originally dominated the site.

The West Hawaii Civic Center is a LEED Silver certified project
built to serve the current and future growth of West Hawaii.
The development of the civic center centralizes the County’s
West Hawaii’s government services which includes the mayor’s
office as well as 15 other County agencies. The project serves
as the hub of one of North Kona’s regional centers and features
eight separate buildings located around a central courtyard
and an amphitheater. These outdoor spaces take advantage
of mauka and makai views and provide a variety of outdoor
gathering places with protected microclimates. The formal
central courtyard and amphitheater are suitable for large
public gatherings and feature native plants that then transition
to drought tolerant, low water usage areas at the complex’s
perimeter.

The design concept of the Culinary Institute of the Pacific was based on creating an aesthetically pleasing and functional space
through the use of sustainable design practices. Gathering spaces throughout the landscape provide places of interaction for people
to sit and enjoy their surroundings while still meeting the requests of the Culinary Institute’s which were: to be able to grow fruit,
vegetables and herbs for use in the kitchen classrooms, blend seamlessly with the surrounding site conditions and aesthetics, and
to obtain LEED certification.
Due to the extreme dry conditions of the site, xeriscaping and water preservation are key elements of this design. Kiawe trees are
used in parking lots to, not only blend with existing natural environment, but also for their ability to survive and flourish in periods of
drought. Native drought resistant plants are utilized and the use of rocks as design features and mulch reduces the need for additional
irrigation. Large open expanses of existing landscape are restored with native grasses and groundcovers to replace traditional water
reliant lawns and to blend with the natural existing landscape of the nearby iconic LĀ‘ahi, or more commonly known, Diamond Head
State Park.
Smaller areas of planting are solely dedicated to growing ornamental plants including Ti, Hibiscus and many types of Gingers that the
school can use for their culinary displays. Introduced by the ancient Polynesians, the majority of this plant material has both historical
and cultural importance to the ancient Hawaiians.
It was imperative that the garden areas remain connected to existing Diamond Head trails and to the school. Previously, a meandering
path existed throughout the site, but in prior construction of a fire exit, had been cut off. Due to space confinements, the recreation of
this exact path could not be achieved, so a new path was established. To create visual interest and further the users enjoyment and
learning experience, the path is textured and highlighted with bands of concrete that are stamped with the name of plants that are
found in the garden as well as imprints of their leaves.

The design concept for this campus was to improve upon the existing landscape by creating a multi-functioning space that focused on
cultural and environmental preservation and to achieve LEED platinum certification.
The new design improves upon both the efficiency and aesthetics of the landscape by utilizing the existing native and adaptive tree, shrub,
and groundcover plantings, creating shelter for visitors, decreasing and capturing stormwater runoff, reducing the reliance on limited potable
water resources, minimizing waste water disposal by recycling it for landscape irrigation, helping to recharge the area’s ground aquifer
while still lessening maintenance costs. A xeriscape landscape was created by using renaturalized lava rock throughout the site not only
to reduce irrigation water requirements, provide ecological functions for native habitat, but also to create a cohesive landscape that would
blend seamlessly with the surrounding lava fields. Amongst larger stones, on-site lava materials and native flora were restored and reused
as groundcover. Staying true to the design concept, a reclaimed water drip irrigation system is also incorporated to minimize the usage of
potable water by utilizing an R-3 source, which is non-disinfected recycled water, coming from the on-site wastewater treatment facility.
Ensuring a connection to Hawai’i’s diverse heritage and culture, Ki Concepts created a modern interpretation of a “marae”, a traditional
gathering space for the Maori of Aotearoa, also known as New Zealand. The UH West Hawaii Campus entry courtyard derives its inspiration
from the Marae and other traditional Polynesian community gathering spaces. It serves as the campus gateway and is the symbolic and
physical space for welcoming not only visitors, but students, faculty, and support staff. As an outdoor gathering space it may be used for
campus assemblies, special events, and impromptu student performances. It is also a circulation space that allows for more passive activities
at its edges such as; small group meetings, a rest area between classes or a place to meet up with friends and classmates. The form of the
Marae is inspired by the Hawaiian symbol for ‘Piko’, the center, and also for the Kona sun. The radiating rays of the sun form the paths linking
the campus facilities to its center. The organic, fluid quality of the paths surrounded by undulating lava rock mounds, planted with native plant
species, also memorializes the lava flow which created the natural landscape in which this campus sits.

Ki Concepts led a design-build team for the Klipper Golf
Course Ponds Restoration Project, located at MCHB Kaneohe
Bay, Oahu, Hawai`i. Ki concepts prepared pond and wetland
restoration plans to restore native riparian plant species and
provide habitat for native Hawaiian waterfowl at three ½ acre
non-tidal ponds fed by rainfall and storm water runoff from
the golf course. The existing retention ponds were cleared of
debris and invasive alien riparian plants and then replanted
with native coastal plants suitable for that locale. The ponds
were aerated and a drip irrigation system installed. Ki Concepts
provided pre-construction, construction, and post construction
services including bird monitoring. An in depth maintenance
manual was also developed to ensure proper care of this

In an effort to help inform and educate the community on the modern practices of sustainable landscapes, Ki Concepts developed a
comprehensive masterplan to create Hawaii’s first educational sustainable garden, located within the Lyon Arboretum. Aptly named “Ulu“,
after the Hawaiian word meaning: to grow, to protect and to inspire. The goal for this garden is to inspire people to grow themselves and
their knowledge, so that they can help to protect the environment as well as their communities as a whole.
Ulu’s design incorporates many visually inspiring sustainable practices, such as recycled common waste materials (e.g. tires, glass
bottles, wood shipping pallets, metal grates, corrugated metal roofing and stone rubble), rain water catchment systems, hugelkultur
(raised beds created from green waste and composting matter which is effective in mitigating water use), edible gardens (of which 100%
of the harvest is donated to local foodbanks), native and culturally important plantings, living walls, as well as green infrastructure devices
such as a bioswale and rain garden for storm water management.
In general, storm water management is a high priority when it comes to trying to alleviate the impact that development can have on a
site, and since Lyon Arboretum is located in the highly precipitous site of Manoa Valley, it was a prime location to showcase the benefits
of these sustainable landscape practices.
The primary use and the main attraction of this project is the variety of sustainable practices conveyed, many of which are unknown to the
general public, but by utilizing no or low cost materials coupled with ease of construction our hope is to inspire the average homeowner
to introduce these designs into their own living spaces.
