"Media5 Architecture played a large role in the success of Keola La'i. It was my pleasure to work closely with Mike Leineweber and his team throughout the entire project. As a part of this design assist process, Media5 participated in the selection of a general construction contractor, and every aspect of the design was value engineered in an ongoing process to ensure speed and economy of construction. Media5 facilitated an aggressive design and construction schedule that helped A&B capitalize on the then current high market demand for condominiums."

"From the moment our idea emerged, the people at Media5 have been inspired collaborators. Their ability to take discussion and transform words into visual options propels the planning conversations forward in a way exciting for all concerned. Always responsive, the principals in Media5 understand that architecture isn’t just about drawings and plans. IPA places value in our relationship with Media5 Architecture."
