Team P.C. Architecture Visits — The Paulin House by Vladimir Ossipoff Tucked into the lush landscape of O‘ahu, the Paulin House, built in 1957, is a masterwork by Ossipoff. Designed for William Paulin, the house embodies Ossipoff’s deep respect for nature, climate-responsive architecture, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The plan is organized around a central lanai, a transitional space that dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior, allowing the trade winds to naturally ventilate the home while blurring distinctions between shelter and open air. Deep eaves, post-and-beam construction, and extensive use of locally sourced lava rock and redwood articulate a material palette rooted in place, while simultaneously evoking the spare elegance of mid-century modernism. Spatial flow is key here, while rooms open to one another through sliding shoji-inspired screens, while windows diffuse light and garden views into every corner. Ossipoff’s architectural language balances Japanese influence with the traditions of the Hawaiian Islands. The Paulin House is more than a residence; it’s a case study in contextual modernism, a refined expression of how architecture can respond to climate, culture, and topography without compromise.
