All art is but an imitation of nature…and a well-designed home complements the same.” This statement represents the goal of McLaughlin Architects. We have been recognized with numerous national and state design awards and have been creating unique family homes on the Big Island for over 20 years. Our approach to the design process strives for architecture that responds both functionally and emotionally to the needs of our clients while taking into consideration the unique challenges of each location.

We work closely with our clients, builders and craftsmen to create unique, one-of-a-kind design solutions. We are passionate about our designs utilizing natural elements found in the local environment, and we pride ourselves in designing timeless, well-detailed homes that blend into and complement each unique site and will stand the test of time.
