Green Building

Alaula Builders’ sustainable, workforce housing project Hale Kaiola broke ground this January.

Building sustainable communities is a work in progress. We start with the community design, and look for infill neighborhoods to reduce infrastructure demands and travel distances. We then use compact development plans to encourage efficient, more walkable neighborhoods, and preserve open spaces for community activities.  

We design homes with passive cooling chimneys, and for those hot Kihei days when HVAC is required, install heat exchangers to direct excess heat from heat pumps to heat the hot water. The landscape is designed to provide shade and passive cooling for homes, outdoor living areas, and even parking. Our end goal is to reimagine our homes and communities to serve the aina as well as our community and owners.

Missing Middle Housing

“Missing middle is a range of multi-unit or clustered housing types compatible in scale with single family homes that help meet the growing demand for housing options and affordability. They are classified as “missing” because very few of these housing types have been built in the last several decades due to regulatory constraints, the shift to auto-dependent patterns of development, and incentives for single family home ownership.

Missing middle housing types include ohana, duplex, four-plex, courtyard apartment, bungalow court, and live/work units. Because of their simple form and smaller size, missing middle housing types help developers maximize affordability without compromising quality. These housing types typically have small- to medium- sized footprints, no larger than a single family home. This allows a range of missing middle types to be blended into a neighborhood, encouraging a mix of socioeconomic households, and making these types ideal for infill.

Another benefit of missing middle is that the neighborhood densities are at the level needed to support transit and neighborhood serving main streets. These housing types are best located in walkable neighborhoods, close to services and amenities.”
