Hawaii Architecture - Waikiki, 3 in Pink

A short, sweet post to celebrate 3 distinct pink designs - Waikiki Cove, Apartments on the Coral Strand and Ilima Hotel.

Waikiki Cove 2116 Kuhio Ave.

On the corner of Kūhiō and Launiu and stands the streamline moderne Waikiki Cove. 7 stories tall with just 23 units, this is a fun one to capture.

Apartments on the Coral Strand 2979 Kalakaua Avenue Architect: Vladimir Ossipoff Built: 1961

From Docomomo Hawaii’s “Exploring Hawaii’s Gold Coast”:

Constructed on the site of the former Coral Strand Hotel, this building's irregular footprint was oriented to take maximum advantage of the view, while not encroaching upon the views of neighboring buildings.

Ilima Hotel 445 Nohonani

Named after the O’ahu island flower, the Ilima Hotel deserves a look up with its Barbie pink color, unique balcony design and lettering font over the entrance.
