Snaps from our recent renovation. This is the new master bedroom with walk in closet, which we converted from two very small 8 sqm bedrooms in the original unit and then took part of the dining area to come up with this 17.5sqm space. We were able to fit a ton of storage space within the footprint with some clever carpentry. >>>>Scroll to the end for the before pictures! Enjoy!

Swipe to the end to see what this dining/living area started out as. In this condo renovation, the target was practicality: leave most of the structure as is to reduce cost and upgrade it with simple yet impactful, user-friendly design. The original layout had some quirks, like a wall with a hole separating the dining to the living area, and uneven bulkheads that distract the ceiling lines. We converted these quirks into something usable - lighted displays and open shelving to showcase the owners possessions.

We convinced the clients to do concealed power outlets to enhance the sleekness & elevate the textures of the kitchen surfaces in this renovation. Is this something you'd want in your kitchen?

Paalala na garapalan nilang ginagawa ang lantarang kurapsyon. Hindi kapani-paniwalang 75 milyon pesos ang halaga ng ganitong kalidad na materyales at disenyo ng gusali ng public school ng DepEd. Kunwaring may transparency pero kasinungalingan naman talaga ito sa mamamayan.

We have to break the cycle. Ngayon nananawagan tayo na mga sangkot ay dapat makulong. Kahit lahat pa yan. Ano pa maaaring gawin? Sa mga sunod na halalan, mahalagang mabusisi na magboto ng mga tamang mga representatibo natin. Hindi kailangan sikat, kailangan may karanasan, may tiyak na plataporma kontra kurapsyon at marunong ng sistema sa pag andar ng ahensya nila!

First Look: Recently completed studio unit in Avida Sola.

The client wanted a home that would put her in a relaxing mood after a hard day's work and at the same time, maximize the footprint and storage space of the studio without everything feeling cramped.

We achieved the design goals with mirrors to double the space, clever wall storage, indirect soft lighting & a warm material palette and by maintaining the overall clarity & simplicity of the design.

[3/3] Renovating breathes new life to old homes!

Side-by-side before & after pictures taken on this townhouse project. This project took longer to complete than initially planned because of the pandemic but we and the clients are very happy with the outcome.

The perennial challenges of renovating old houses or structures are the unforeseen problems that can arise during construction, like structural deterioration, infestations, material defects hidden from plain sight, and many more. These are the things that we embrace and solve on the go.
