Here are some images from my recent photo shoot for Rottet Studio and Howard Hughes at Ward Center in Honolulu. The purpose of the photoshoot was to photograph the showroom which was built for pre-sales of the units in ‘A’ali‘i and showcase Rottet Studio’s design elements.

‘A‘ali‘i stands as a center-point of Ward Village, a community that’s redefining Hawaii’s modern lifestyle. Architectural Digest recently named Ward Village the best master planned community in the U.S. because of its attention to art, architecture and building community. Here, you can spend less time in traffic and more time doing what you love in a centrally located, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood within walking distance of Downtown Honolulu, Oahu’s best shopping, and Ala Moana Beach Park.

In the last decade, Founder Lauren Rottet, FAIA, FIIDA has developed Rottet Studio into one of the finest interior design practices in the United States

Our latest photoshoot was on the Big Island of Hawaii for a company called Inspirato, they are a leading luxury hospitality company that manages, staffs, and maintains an exclusive collection of branded luxury vacation homes.  

The home we photographed is located in the heart of the Waikoloa Beach Resort on a beachfront setting called Kolea which is a gated community right on Anaehoʻomalu Bay on the stunning Kohala/Kona Coast. The first thing you see when you enter the home is the gorgeous blue water of the Pacific Ocean. You can certainly enjoy the pool and Jacuzzi or just a short walk from the home is the white sands of Anaehoʻomalu Beach where you can relax on the beach, swim, snorkel etc or explore the Petroglyphs steps away from the house.  

We were blessed with gorgeous sunny skies most of the day and to our surprise a rare light rain cloud came over the house and created this giant rainbow right at sunset!!

Waikiki 2019 First South Swell /  by Ethan Tweedie

I got back to Honolulu just in time for the first big South Swell, Waikiki Beach was going off at around 6 to 10 feet. Although the swell was inconsistent some nice sets rolled through and it was fun to fly the Mavic Pro 2 and get some shots of the surf below. You can’t beat the backdrop of the Royal Hawaiian!
