Timbers Resorts

Development & Management

For more than a decade, the Timbers Resorts mission has stayed the same: to create special places to return to time and time again to get back to what is most important — spending time with family and friends. Places where luxury is without pretense. Comfortably casual. Unique. Authentic. Fun.

Throughout its history, Timbers Resorts has committed to being authentic, unique and respectful of the destination, focusing on family and experiences, and never compromising with regard to quality and service.

Our vision is a promise… of paradise perfected. We’re delighted to introduce Hōkūala as one of our homes away from home: a spectacular, one-of-a-kind destination; a resort that is intimate in scale; and a rich and diverse lifestyle experience. We hope you’ll join us here on Hawai’i’s Garden Isle.

Poss Architecture + Planning

Architecture

The vision for Timbers Kaua’i – Ocean Club & Residences is eco-centric, where the built environment is expressed through non-intrusive, traditionally and culturally appropriate low-tech design, maximizing views as well as the patterns of the breeze, sun and moon as they play off the ocean and mountains.

This vision is entrusted to Poss Architecture + Planning, recognized for an unwavering commitment to extraordinary and creative design that innately captures the essence of the surrounding environment — while simultaneously respecting and preserving natural beauty. This all-encompassing approach is the reason so many esteemed national and international clients have entrusted Poss with landmark residences and resorts around the world. Based in Aspen, Colorado, the firm’s signature work has helped to define the sophisticated new face of contemporary architecture.
