The Liljestrand House on Mount Tantalus in Honolulu, Hawaii, is a single-family home, completed in 1952. It is one of the masterworks of architect Vladimir Ossipoff, who worked in Hawaii from 1930 until his death in 1998. Commissioned by Dr. Howard and Betty Liljestrand in 1948 and built by R. Takahashi, general contractor, the Liljestrand House attained international recognition upon its publication in House Beautiful magazine as the “Pace Setter Home of 1958.” Ossipoff designed the house to showcase the 270-degree view of Honolulu from atop the mountain ridge. The natural beauty of the surrounding forest was an important element incorporated into the design. The Liljestrand family remained lifelong friends with Ossipoff and no changes were ever made to the structure or interior elements of the house, including furnishings and artwork, without consulting him. The Liljestrand Foundation was created in 2007 with the vision of preserving the house, its site and archives, and making that preservation beneficial to the global community.
