​ Still extant today, this two-story, 40,000 - square - foot commercial building was designed by Dean Sakamoto while serving as a designer at Chapman, Desai, Sakata, Inc. (1986 -1989), now CDS International. Working under the guidance of Don Chapman, FAIA (1927 - 2010), Sakamoto was charged with designing a retail and office complex that would complement the residential scale of the surrounding community while taking full advantage of the site's sweeping mountain and ocean views.

The building's design responds thoughtfully to Hawaiʻi's climate, incorporating deep roof overhangs for solar protection, prevailing trade winds for natural ventilation, and an internal courtyard centered on a distinctive water feature and koi pond. Although the plan is asymmetrical and distinctly modern, its double-pitched clay tile roofs and cement-plaster-clad piers draw inspiration from Hawaiʻi's early twentieth-century Territorial Style. Widely recognized as the first commercial building to reinterpret and revive this architectural vocabulary in the 1990s, it established a precedent for the renewed appreciation of Territorial-inspired design in contemporary Hawaiʻi architecture.
