Hawaii’s State Capitol has long stood as a symbol of our cultural identity and Hawaii’s natural beauty, with its open-air design and water features reflecting the interconnectedness of our islands and the ocean. This building was first designed in 1964 by AHL and John Carl Warnecke and Associates. Today, as the Capitol undergoes a significant renovation, AHL is now leading a transformation that addresses maintenance and deterioration issues while breathing new life into this iconic building. This project marries sustainability, innovation and cultural respect to ensure that the Capitol remains a centerpiece of Hawaii’s heritage and a gathering space for generations to come.
