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.

Hale Kahakai, Kukui’ula on the South Shore of Kauai - Pu’uwai Design + Build by Ethan Tweedie

This luxury home built and designed by Pu`uwai, Koloa’s Premier Design/Build Company in the Kukui’ula community on Kauai’s South shore takes a modern approach to tropical design.  Each bedroom opens up to the exterior lanai areas and both master suite bathrooms open to private courtyards and outdoor showers.  The infinity edge pool has a swim-up bar, aqua lounge area and seamless spa. 

Pu`uwai Design + Build hired us to photograph this gorgeous home to market their company, market as a luxury vacation rental, and list for sale.  We spent close to 3 days photographing this amazing home and it felt like photographing a piece of art, truly an amazing property Pu`uwai created. 

 I am grateful to Pu`uwai giving us close to three days to shoot at the house, the weather on Kauai in the winter can get tricky sometimes and on our last half day it rained almost non stop!  Lastly I want to thank Malia and Justin of Pu`uwai for letting us stay at the property, it saved a lot of time packing and unpacking all of our gear each day!  It truly was an amazing property to photograph, Mahalo!
