Our Process/

MacNaughton specializes in creating value and unlocking opportunities across many market sectors. Navigating complex, multi-faceted constraints is where we excel while thoughtfully responding to current and evolving demands.

We love Hawaii and are dedicated to its continued success as a sought-after place to live, vacation, own a business, or raise a family.

Our belief in global collaboration and partnership affords cutting-edge ideas and new perspectives. This results in the best possible ingredients and execution for every project we take on.

Idea Gathering

Brainstorming and searching the world for possibilities is an essential first step, to which we dedicate careful consideration. We collaborate on each project to inject a diverse set of experiences that fuel idea generation and decision-making. Often during our creative process, we are inspired to conceive something entirely new.

Testing & Materials

Spirited engagement is paramount, we believe, and leads to an elevated design and concept. If a project requires it, we may take this a step further and engage a builder to construct mock spaces, so we can stand inside and test options under consideration.

What’s more, we partner directly with the source to ensure that the selected materials meet expectations, deliver on our intentions, arrive onsite in full and on time.

Design

Our people-centric design process starts from the inside out. We know that if we can help elevate the way people live, we’ve succeeded. Thoughtful details that make one’s lifestyle effortless and seamless; décor and art that instill a feeling of home; innovations in hospitality – all meld together to push our destinations and community into the future.

We synergize with some of the world’s most celebrated architects and designers to create properties that unite the best form and function.
