PETER FLUKER

Whether he is working at the most conceptual level or ready to add the finishing touches to a home, Peter Fluker has a keen eye for blending Old World tradition with contemporary flair. He began his 30-year career designing and building lakefront homes in Muskoka, Ontario, and later shifted his focus to the spectacular mountain setting of British Columbia’s Whistler Valley.

A former partner in Vancouver’s Roche Bobois furniture store, Peter’s design philosophy follows clean, contemporary European lines mixed with bold design elements, without shortchanging comfort or uniqueness. His extensive portfolio shows better than words his passion for quality and artisanship, as well as his passion for specialized woodwork and green building techniques.

MELANIE BOUDAR

After spending 30 years as a Diamond/Gemstone buyer & award winning Jewelry Designer, a long time Real Estate Developer and more recently an Artisan Chocolatier , Melanie Boudar brings her creative talents and business development/marketing skills to Mahana Homes. Melanie currently owns and operates a successful Bed and Breakfast on the Big Island of Hawaii. She has partnered with Peter Fluker to bring the Mahana Homes concept to fruition.

From her home base in Hawaii, Melanie works with prospective clients to assess their building site and customize their home plans before the materials and furnishings are shipped from British Columbia. Melanie fully understands the unique challenges of island building and as a result she and Peter have developed a home concept that streamlines the entire design & building process from small vacation cottages to larger family homes.

Their latest Hawaii collaboration, “At the Craters Edge” is a contemporary timber frame home nestled into a rainforest setting of giant tree ferns and brilliant tropical flowers . The home features expansive window walls that open to capture the forest views, a gourmet entertaining kitchen/ living area and wrap around cedar decks for island living. Adjacent to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, “At the Craters Edge” is a luxury vacation accommodation with 2 fully appointed guest suites which has been booking reservations even months in advance of its completion date.
