Property Description
Just Listed, An Architect's Dream Home. Treetops at 228 Forest Ridge Way occupies a one-acre rim lot along the outer edge of the Tantalus ridgeline. Completed in 2023, the residence was designed and built as the personal home of Darrell "Buck" Welch Jr., principal of Welch & Weeks Architects, a Honolulu studio known for work grounded in the island landscape. The house follows the natural slope in a three-level composition, allowing trade winds, daylight, and long horizon views to guide the interior experience. Hardwood, slate, and volcanic basalt create a restrained material palette that pays homage to its island setting.
