Waialea Beach House | Hawaii Island /  by Ethan Tweedie

One of my latest projects at Waialea Beach here on the Big Island for Interior Designer Josepha Buckingham. Such a lovely place right on Waialea Beach!

“With a vision toward a quiet interior and cool respite from the heat of the beach, birch plywood panels were used to line walls and ceilings throughout. Furniture is upholstered in neutral fabrics, as a backdrop for vibrant custom pillows and textiles, which reflect the tropical setting and impart an immediate sense of vacation” Josepha Buckingham

Capturing Frank Lloyd Wright’s Meyer May House in Grand Rapids, Michigan /  by Ethan Tweedie

his past fall, I had the unique opportunity to photograph another Frank Lloyd Wright home—the Meyer May House in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was a special experience as I was visiting my Mom, who had recently moved to Ludington, Michigan, the town where she grew up. Ludington is a place I hold dear, with its pristine sugar sand beaches, lighthouses, and a wealth of outdoor activities that made for wonderful childhood memories.

While in Michigan for a few weeks, I thought it would be the perfect time to make a short trip to Grand Rapids and visit the Meyer May House, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most iconic properties. After contacting Steelcase Inc., who owns and operates the property, they graciously offered a private tour just for my Mom and me, along with a few hours to photograph the home. It was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up, and I’m thrilled to share the stunning images from this unforgettable experience.

The Meyer May House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1908 for Meyer May, a local businessman. As one of the best examples of Wright’s Prairie School style, the home features low-pitched roofs, overhanging eaves, and horizontal lines that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The interior is characterized by open spaces, custom-built furniture, and natural materials like wood and stone—hallmarks of Wright’s visionary design.

After the May family sold the home in the 1940s, the property was rezoned for multi-family use. In the 1980s, Steelcase Inc. purchased the house and undertook a meticulous restoration, returning the home to Wright’s original vision. Today, the Meyer May House is open to the public as a museum, offering tours that allow visitors to experience Wright’s architectural brilliance up close.

I want to give a special thanks to Don Dekker, Director of the Meyer May House, for the personal tour and for allowing me the opportunity to photograph this magnificent property. The photos were captured on October 7th, 2022 and provide a glimpse into the beauty and timeless appeal of Wright’s design.

Before and After Slider Saturdays - Howard Hughes ‘A’ali’i Residential Tower at Ward Center /  by Ethan Tweedie

Before and After Slider Saturdays - Howard Hughes ‘A’ali’i Residential Tower at Ward Center

This project for designer Rottet Studio and Howard Hughes posed some very interesting challenges. The location of the model Home Condominiums are located in the old IBM Building designed by Vladimir Ossipoff. On the exterior of the building is a concrete cladding (photo) and the views out the windows will not be the actual future views from the ‘A’ali’i Residential Tower at Ward Center located adjacent to the IBM Building. I had to do a few things to complete the image, first my normal editing and retouching process for the interior, then I had to secure view shots from Howard Hughes they had already captured to show future buyers what the actual views would look like. The views out the window will now show what a potential buyer will actually see.

Rottet Studio is an international architecture and design firm with an extensive portfolio of corporate and hospitality projects for the world’s leading companies and brands.
