For Jeffrey T. Long, AIA, President and CEO of Longhouse Design + Build, Hawaii isn’t just a place. To him it’s a feeling, an expression, a lifestyle that has evolved over his many years practicing architecture in the islands. That belief forms the foundation for each of his firm’s custom homes, beginning with an authentic appreciation for the islands’ history and culture.

“Our principles of understanding the environment and respecting the roles of the ocean, the sun, and the trade winds are how we accentuate the beauty of the location with our design,” says Long. Underpinning this process is a collection of historical, archeological, and cultural experts who help guide the 20-person team.

Because Longhouse Design + Build is a full-service firm, Long and his team maintain an intimate level of quality control at every phase. A streamlined development process aids in not only timeliness and cost control, but also brings peace of mind for all involved. “Because everything is inhouse, we work in lockstep with our architects, (SMA/EA) planners, and general contracting divisions,” he says. “When we have the perfect combination of the ideal lot, location, and team, the result can be miraculous.”
 

Contemporary Hawaiian design greets visitors at the entry of a recently built 7,500- square-foot oceanfront home, alongside hints of midcentury modern and an intention of transparency. Open spaces give immediate ease and familiarity, while a floating glass bridge at the entry brings a sense of arrival, internal animation, and excitement.
 

In Long’s trademark sweeping two-story living room, walls of cut coral frame bronze finished storefront windows that put the ocean on full display, leading the eyes outward to relish the home’s breathtaking island location. The home’s lines are clean and uncomplicated, and such simplicity is strategic to their vision.
 

“There’s a dramatic discipline and simple elegance to the home,” says Long. “It’s about creating a structure that serves as a refined piece of art, while offering a home that provides comfort and ultimately the exhale of relaxation.”

Huffington Post dubs two Long & Associates Homes "The Gorgeous Hawaii Rental Homes Obama Should've Booked" Two Maui homes designed by Jeffrey Long of Long & Associates Architects and Interiors, were mentioned as rental homes President Obama should book on his next Hawaii vacation.

One home is a one-story, 8 bedroom home located in Ka'anapali, Maui:

Maui Luxury"This pristine property -- known as Kaanapali Kahala in Maui -- is surrounded by serene koi ponds. The home itself wraps around a beautiful pool area, offering an outdoor lounge and entertainment area tucked away from the public's view.

The eight-bedroom home, known to realtors as the "Castle Villa," fronts the gorgeous Kaanapali Beach, and in the evening, the sunset pours into the open living room, which extends into the pool lounge," writes Carla Herrera of The Huffington Post.

Secondly, comes a home located in the exclusive Kapalua Resort's Kapalua Place.  One of only 4 beachfront residences, Oneloa Place is definitely an example of luxury:

"At the ultra-luxurious Oneloa Beach Villa on Maui's northeastern tip, guests never have to leave. The estate boasts private waterfalls, three oceanfront spas, an impressive art collection, personal beach access to a private stretch of sand and a 60-foot long infinity pool that seems to pour into the ocean."
