“It’s an isosceles triangle,” says Ed, owner and builder. “It’s simple - like a wigwam,” says his wife. When your reporter became impatient with this easy-going approach to one of Honolulu’s most discussed houses, she called the architect, imaginative designer Pete Wimberly, who brilliantly interpreted this ancient shelter design for the Fitzsimmons family. “Oh Ed’s house? It’s just the lean-to in the Boy Scout manual!” - WWTG publicity copy, 1964 . Fitzsimmons Residence, George ‘Pete’ Wimberly, 1956 .
