Pacific Atelier International, LLC (PAI) is a boutique architectural firm with extensive experience in all aspects of the profession. Since its establishment in 1995 in Honolulu, PAI is committed to achieve design excellence with sensibility and respect for the multicultural Hawaiian community.
The design philosophy of the practice is based on architecture as a social art to create buildings and spaces which inspire the individual user, express the collective aspirations for a better future, and enhance the unique natural environment of Hawai’i. Free from stylistic preconceptions, PAI believes that the form of a given project evolves in direct response to program requirements, client expectations, specific site conditions, and budget constraints into a cohesive design informed by history, culture, and human behavior
Design Methodology: PAI’s approach to architectural design aims to express the ‘content’ of the issues at hand in whatever physical form most appropriate and significant. To achieve this end we offer the same design methodology we have applied over the years in our professional practice based, not on principles or theories, but on four ‘constants’ which we use to check the validity of the design throughout the design process: (1) the definition of a place through sequence of rooms as constituent parts, (2) the language of space understood as an internal or external definition in the formulation of an itinerary, (3) resonance as an essential quality of architecture, and (4) the development of an architectural aesthetic based upon a building’s accessibility, clarity, and power to elucidate its meaning and relationships.
