Windows <br />The windows in the traditional plantation style homes served a functional purpose, and <br />have become a character - defining feature. <br />• The predominant window style was wood framed, double hung windows, often <br />with multiple - lights. <br />• Wood framed, multiple panes, sliding sash windows were also quite common. <br />• Wood framed casement windows were also used. <br />• Homes of more upscale design had more elaborate windows with diamond or <br />rectangular- patterned lights. <br />• Aluminum is not only inappropriate, but impractical in a humid tropical climate. <br />If synthetic materials are used they must have some type of simulated wood grain <br />pattern or be trimmed so as to minimize their non - traditional appearance. <br />Doors <br />Doors, like windows, were often a key element in the design aesthetic of plantation -style <br />homes. <br />• Solid core wood doors or wood doors with simple windows are appropriate. <br />• True divided multiple -light French doors with or without true divided multiple - <br />light sidelights are appropriate. <br />• Simple outside screen doors are appropriate. <br />• Simple vinyl or aluminum doors are not appropriate, however; if these materials <br />are used they must have some type of simulated wood grain pattern or trimmed so <br />as to minimize their non - traditional appearance. <br />'Urban Land Institute — Ed McMahon <br />" Historical reference - Pahoa Yesterday -Hiroo Sato, 2002 <br />201Page <br />
