I am truly sorry to critique your project Chris, But I have to point out a major flaw in many
of your entries, The slight A-Frame component in many of the homes you have listed are not Polynesian in origin
(So have nothing to do with Tiki)

These houses have very little crawl space/ventilation areas, A raised section was necessary for proper airflow
and heat dissipation.

This is a common architectural trait of the tract housing from the 50s & 60s in this area
(I live in one) A couple of other houses listed are just examples of classic mid century architecture

One just has an Asian style roof-line, I am a student of mid century architecture in this area, Even worked as a Roofer for a few years
When I needed to take a brake from the Computer Industry & have many Architect friends & clients
so I do have some knowledge of the subject.

So to serve accuracy & keep 100s or more of these (Non Tiki) style of houses from deterring from your worthy project
you might want to reconsider many of the entries.
