Remodeling your kitchen? Or looking to build a whole new home?
HPM Building Supply's newly renovated O‘ahu Design Centers in Iwilei — its first showrooms on the island — might have what you need to visualize your plans and turn ideas into reality.
The three showrooms can be found on the first floor of the Nā Lama Kukui Lifestyle & Design Center at 560 N. Nimitz Road.
"The beauty of our Design Centers is that we can offer the service for any project need," Kapua Aguiar, Design Center program manager told Aloha State Daily. "Even if it's a small bathroom remodel or a larger kitchen or you're just wanting to replace your floors. Those are all things that we can help with through our design centers."
Aguiar, who has worked for the company for nearly 13 years, says the design centers offer finished interior materials from floor to ceiling, including appliances, windows and doors.
Walking through the spaces, you can see kitchen and bathroom models, a variety of shelving and cabinetry, light and plumbing fixtures, flooring options, doors, hardware and more that are available at different levels.
Headquartered on Hawai‘i Island, HPM is a fifth-generation, family-run business that began as a lumber mill more than a century ago.
The employee-owned company initially added two O‘ahu showrooms when it acquired Honolulu-based interiors firm 87Zero in April 2023, an announcement at that time noted. That acquisition established a new division called 87Zero by HPM.
Those showrooms have now been fully integrated into the design center and rebranded, and HPM has added a third. Together, they're known as HPM O‘ahu Design Centers.
The first suite, which opened a year ago, is a design center featuring HPM Homes. Here, visitors can see displays of HPM's signature cabinets, countertops and more, along with HPM Homes packages.
HPM Homes offers more than 20 different pre-designed packaged home plans for individuals looking to construct a home or accessory dwelling unit.
A second showroom, which soft opened at the beginning of this month, is the design center that features upgrade products. Aguiar says these products are largely more customizable and made-to-order for a project space.
The third showroom highlights products from Ernestomeda, a high-end luxury Italian cabinet line.
A grand opening for the HPM O‘ahu Design Centers, which spans more than 7,000 square feet across the three spaces, is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, May 4. Anyone can walk in but RSVPs are recommended for those interested in attending.
The event will consultations with home planners, kitchen and bath designers and vendors; cooking demonstrations by chef Shayne Castellano; pupus and drinks from Prime Roast Cafe, door prizes and a $25,000 kitchen appliance giveaway.
In addition to the three showrooms on O‘ahu, HPM has design centers on Hawai‘i Island, Kaua‘i and Maui, as well as lumberyards and retail stores across the Islands.
