Designed and built on Oahu.
A design-led renovation practice serving Honolulu's most considered homes. Paid design engagements, coordinated trades, premium finishes.
A home is not a commodity. It is a slow accumulation of intention — of rooms that know what they are for, of materials that age with grace, of light that lands the way it should.
Ikena begins every project the way it ends: with care, restraint, and an insistence that the work be worthy of the place it occupies. We are a small practice by choice. Two projects at a time. One standard.
Three deliberate phases. Nothing hurried.
A paid engagement.
Design is not a courtesy estimate. It is a billable professional service, earned from the first sketch. $5,000 — $15,000 depending on scope, credited toward the build.

Finish carpentry, tile, cabinetry, paint — performed in-house by tradesmen we know by name. Licensed subs for structural, electrical, plumbing. One point of accountability.
Three to five months. Done once.
Most projects complete in 90 to 150 days. We commit to two active projects at a time — so yours gets the attention it was quoted.
Projects underway.
Portfolio forthcoming.
Currently accepting design engagements for 2026 – 2027 projects.
