Riverwalk Hotel Ballast

ABOUT THE HOTEL

Bringing modern Southern hospitality to life through the lens of Wilmington’s past and present, Hotel Ballast is a fresh take on a beloved riverfront gem. The city’s rich maritime history is felt throughout, balanced by new guest experiences, including dining at the riverfront Board and Barrel Coastal Kitchen, lingering over locally roasted coffee at Buffalo Bayou, and savoring stunning waterfront and skyline views from 272 newly upgraded guest rooms and suites.

ARCHITECTURE | AWE RANCH | MILLBOARD | JOSHUA TREE

Photographing AWE Ranch was an extraordinary experience, as this 7,500 sq. ft. property nestled within 358 acres of California’s mountains and desert is as much a work of art as it is a destination. Just minutes from Joshua Tree, the ranch’s innovative design—crafted for artists, creators, and visionaries—challenged me to capture its harmony with the surrounding landscape and its ethos of sustainable, off-the-grid living. From the interplay of light across its modern architecture to the vast, inspiring views, every frame was an opportunity to showcase a property that truly embodies creativity and connection with nature.
