Honor Award A heavy emphasis on native Hawaiian and Polynesian-introduced plants serves to communicate some of the basic elements of Hawaiian culture to the visitor. These plants are used in “purposeful” landscaping where the plants can be used, studied and appreciated. For many visitors, this may be their first and only exposure to the many important ways in which native Hawaiians used the plants that are merely regarded as part of the landscape to others. Similar to the Hawaiian concept of “kaona”, which literally translates to “hidden meaning,” the proper selection of plants provides multiple layers of understanding of Hawaiian history and culture. The landscape is not only meant to please the eye, but to educate as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1566238732262-GDV6CM48936O3QQF9B83/1-505_IMP_21-A.jpg International Market Place - International Market Place Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii 2018 Hawaii A.S.L.A.

Merit Award Royal Hawaiian Center, formerly Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, is the premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination in Waikiki. Spanning 3 blocks along Kalakaua Avenue, the 4-level Center is comprised of 3 main buildings. The renovation and expansion restored the Hawaiian sense of place to both the physical and operational environments of the Center. The Center is located in Helumoa, once home to Hawaii’s royalty and more than 10,000 coconut palms, and which served as the inspiration for the revitalization. The Royal Grove is a 30,000 square foot ethnobotanical garden – the largest open garden space in the heart of Waikiki - featuring not only abundant coconut palms, but indigenous and endemic native Hawaiian plants, Polynesian-introduced plants, performance areas, and a statue of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. The Apuakehau pond, named for the ancient tributary created by the Manoa and Palolo streams, is reminiscent of Waikiki’s original “spouting waters” springs. The Center’s renewed Kalakaua frontage has a softer, more inviting atmosphere. Large, flowing lawn areas with coconut palms, hala, kukui and shower trees have replaced the plantings that served as both physical and visual barriers to the 310,000 square-foot building once affectionately known as the “fortress.” The open landscape allows views of not only the storefronts, but The Royal Grove and landscaped atriums – views that have been largely blocked since 1979 when the shopping center was first constructed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1566242220186-S5N5EZKKMNA10FUFMGB6/1_Image+2.jpg Royal Hawaiian Center - Royal Hawaiian Center Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii 2009 Hawaii A.S.L.A.

The main penthouse building is located at the top of the property, while 7 villa buildings terrace to Wailea Beach below. The landscape design concept is to create a special place for residents and their guests to relax, play and meet other people in a family- oriented environment. Large open lawn areas will provide space for sunbathing and passive recreation, while smaller “people” spaces will provide a more intimate, tranquil setting. The landscape palette consists predominately of native Hawaiian and Polynesian-introduced species, with an emphasis on drought and salt- tolerant species. While these plants will provide the framework for the landscaping, tropical plants will be used to add color, texture and fragrance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1542697331664-1I0LNOP0VDEFRC60D3MN/IMG_0059.JPG Wailea Beach Villas - Wailea Beach Villas Wailea, Maui, Hawaii Wailea Beach Villas consists of 98 luxury penthouses and villas on a 10.74 acre oceanfront lot.

Honor Award This area of Waikiki was called Helumoa and was named after Ka‘auhelumoa, a mythical chicken that scratched the earth from which a tall Coconut Palm grew. This Coconut Palm is said to be the parent of the legendary Coconut grove that once numbered 10,000 palms. Coconut Palms serve as the common thread in the landscape, creating a “lei of green” through the two properties.

Award of Excellence The $535 million Waikiki Beach Walk complex, whose retail centerpiece opened in 2007, was the biggest improvement project in Waikiki’s recent history. Located makai of Kalakaua Avenue between Lewers Street and Beach Walk, the six-part master plan consists of the Entertainment/Retail Pavilion, Trump International Hotel & Tower, Outrigger Reef on the Beach, Ohana Islander Waikiki Hotel, Embassy Suites Hotel, and Wyndham Vacation Ownership. The area, once characterized by aging, high-rise hotels along a dark, narrow street congested with service vehicles, resembled a concrete canyon. The vision was to create an iconic gathering place for tourists and locals alike. The redesign, while not adding a significant amount of open space to the project, consolidated the spaces into a large public area along Lewers Street. The curvilinear building façade allows for views from Kalakaua Avenue to draw more pedestrians; it wraps around the plaza where an interactive water feature doubles as a stage for local entertainers. Coconut palms, recalling the history of Helumoa – once home to Hawaii’s royalty and more than 10,000 coconut palms - allow views of the storefronts while providing shade while Purple Bougainvillea cascades from the third floor planters above. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1566255458638-3PH6A2NZUBIS7616R4Y4/DSC09976.JPG Waikiki Beach Walk - Waikiki Beachwalk Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii 2009 Hawaii A.S.L.A.

The swimming pool and pool deck required protection, with the option of pool restoration available. The landscape serves as a living backdrop to the sculptures by complimenting, rather than competing with them. For the most part, the plants are varying shades of green to provide a neutral background, while the repetitive use of a limited plant palette provides a sense of order and serenity. However, the textures, forms and even fragrance of the plant material provide a subtle level of accent and interest.

The garden provides areas for discovery and reflection, while elements from the past create remembrances of the pool courtyard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1549846321450-X9OHH54C0UCGMIYF12EK/F23VV-6.jpg Hawaii State Art Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1549846323185-AZCNBHPH2C0VNBWLHAQF/F23VV-43.jpg Hawaii State Art Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1549846352244-SDTK7U84CXI0H5EI6VWP/F23VV-61.jpg Hawaii State Art Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1549610753139-TUD9OIETTYGD6DKK9CH9/F23VV-38.jpg Hawaii State Art Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1549846351310-6IM4WES1U457J88GE6HV/F23VV-72.jpg Hawaii State Art Museum https://www.walterskimuramotoda.com/cmore-hale daily 0.75 2019-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1571683561354-X5V35QFY2OGBLWGHZ35G/UH_C-MORE-HALL_02.jpg University of Hawaii at Manoa: C-MORE Hale - University of Hawaii at Manoa: C-MORE Hale Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii 2012 Hawaii A.S.L.A. Honor Award The Hawaiian culture is seamlessly incorporated into the landscape design through the use of native Hawaiian plants such as ‘ohi’a lehua mamo, ho’awa, ti, na’u, ‘ekaha, pualoalo, kulu’i (3 varieties), ‘uki’uki, ‘aki’aki, kupukupu, palapalai, naupaka, and ‘akulikuli. Many of these plants are endemic species that are unique to Hawaii and can be found nowhere else in the world. Specific plant materials were chosen based on their appropriateness to the existing site conditions, the desire to increase the diversity of species on campus, as well as the plant’s cultural, aesthetic and/or functional attributes. The project includes the first large scale, modular, vegetated roof in Hawaii.The green roof reduces storm water runoff, reduces building temperature, increases carbon dioxide removal and provides an eco-habitat for birds and insects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1571683561354-X5V35QFY2OGBLWGHZ35G/UH_C-MORE-HALL_02.jpg University of Hawaii at Manoa: C-MORE Hale - University of Hawaii at Manoa: C-MORE Hale Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii 2012 Hawaii A.S.L.A.

Award of Excellence The Front Lot of the Queen’s Medical Center extends makai along Punchbowl Street from the Miller Street parking garage tunnel, past the Hawaii Medical Library to the Queen’s Conference Center on Beretania Street. Large expanses of lawn areas provide the setting where the existing trees can be appreciated. The health and protection of the existing trees, many of which were planted by Queen Emma herself and Dr. William Hillebrand, were of utmost importance. The curvilinear layout of the entry road and minimal width encourages drivers to slow down and enhances the park-like atmosphere. A 2-foot high berm screens the vehicular traffic, but still allows borrowed views into the campus of the majestic trees. https://www.walterskimuramotoda.com/kalia-tower-at-hhv daily 0.75 2019-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be1008c5b409b36c7c2dc11/1565375809719-55G4HMZKO01EKJ4OMMUO/Image+1.jpg Kalia Tower at Hilton Hawaiian Village - Kalia Tower at Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii 2006 Hawaii A.S.L.A.
