William J. Benjamin, AIA | Lux Homes Hawaii

Outstanding experience working with Bill! Experienced, professional and honest. My project also had some unexpected turns and he stepped up to help resolve what others could not take care of. Highly recommend, you will be in excellent care.

I absolutely love the house Bill designed for me! The high ceilings with an attic fan and positioning of the house maximized on the natural breezes that kept the house 10 degrees cooler than my neighbor. I love the built-in cabinets and the kitchen. The open design felt warm and comfortable while also staying light and airy. Bill was open during the design process listening to our ideas and offering suggestions in a kind and positive way.

William Benjamin AIA is the best Architect I have worked with here in Hawaii for the last 33 years. I am a General Building Contractor in Hawaii BC 7343. I am now retired. There are two types of Architects that I have worked with these last 45 years. One is the Architect who when he is finished with the project people will say that is such and such architect’s house design Then there are those Architects that when the project is finished you will see it as the Owners Dream not the Architects. William has been the second type and with us he has designed “Spec Houses” One of Which was featured in the Honolulu Parade of Homes. He has designed more remodels for our customers and for us personally than I can count. He also designed our own home. And many others for our Clients. I have worked on a number of Architects projects,. In my personal opinion William is the best designer of them all. I highly recommend William. Aloha Don Moody

Bill has a wealth of experience, and is able to work with clients to take their ideas and turn them into reality. He is often able to suggest a better option based on cost and/or convenience, but listens to the client's ideas first. He always keeps functionality in mind, anticipates problems based on his experience, and is able to suggest solutions to avoid them. He is very responsible, both with keeping scheduled meeting times and with delivering plans on time. He is the best and will help you make your dream home come true.

Bill was an excellent communicator and transformed my ideas into drawings that reflected my wishes for the 2 new structures. Both major builds were done in a professional manner. Bill worked well my general contractor and the Hawaii state building department to expedite the process. It was also a pleasure to work with Bill. I highly recommend him.

Bill Benjamin is brilliant when working with clients. He is the only architect in Honolulu who will fully collaborate with clients and not impose his artistic views as is the case with many other local architects. He is also highly intelligent and can solve many problems of design and construction that other architects have problems with.
