How do we make the most of an irregularly shaped 64 sqm space for a restaurant?

For Pho Bac, a restaurant known for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine, we focused on creating a space that celebrates both the flavors and the process of making them.

Rather than hiding the kitchen, as is common in most restaurants, our client wanted to highlight it and share the food-making process with customers, especially the aromatic experience of their signature pho noodle soup. To achieve this, we made the kitchen’s facade the focal point of the restaurant, featuring weave-paneled storage cabinets that pay homage to traditional Vietnamese design while providing much-needed storage. The facade is complemented by limewash walls, hanging plants, and vibrant wall decor to infuse culture and color to the space. Handwoven ceiling drop lights further enhance the warmth and liveliness of the atmosphere, making the space feel inviting and appetizing.

The subtle tones throughout the space were carefully selected to allow the vibrant colors of the food to take the spotlight, creating a sensory experience that celebrates the richness of each dish.

This 1950s building has had quite a journey – it’s served as a chapel, a personal museum, and countless other roles over the years, making it a meaningful part of the owners' history. Today, they envision it as a meeting space and office, and we’ve worked hard to preserve its original character while bringing it into the present.

It’s amazing to see how the blend of the building’s existing features with new design elements creates aesthetic appeal, sustainability, and lightness. We’ve also given new life to the owner’s antique furniture and unique decorative items, like the kalesa wheel, which we repurposed into a beautiful chandelier –keeping things cost-efficient and full of character.

Beyond design, the space offers a sense of comfort with plenty of natural light and ventilation, surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful waters.

"Sinagkahuyan"

Short for "sinag sa kakahuyan," which translates to "light in the woods" in Tagalog, this concept guided the design of this 90 sqm unit in Bonifacio Global City. Being in a highly urbanized area, we aimed to translate the experience of being in the woods and witnessing the play of light through trees in our design.

Transforming such an organic idea into a refined, formal space was an exciting challenge. We achieved this through close collaboration with our clients, who shared our vision and supported it wholeheartedly. We were especially thrilled when they went the extra mile by selecting natural wood for their furniture to harmonize seamlessly with the design.

For us, this project is a testament that regardless of how simple and common a project may seem, when infused with deep meaning, can transform into something beautiful and unique.

Design shapes the space; personality gives it a soul.

Our initial design concept for this bedroom renovation was to create a "Pearl of the Space," highlighting the room's importance in our clients' home.

We are delighted to see this vision come to life, thanks in large part to the clients' personal touches that added color and character to the room. In the end, the room became the "Pearl of the Space" not just because of our design, but because of the vibrant personalities of our clients.

We're thrilled to share the construction progress of this charming 1950s structure that we converted into a vibrant office and meeting space for our clients. Our goal was to create a productive environment where clients feel confident inviting guests and conducting meetings, all while honoring the building's rich heritage.

To preserve the original soul of the structure, we featured existing elements into the new design. The natural stone facade was not only preserved but also treated to brighten the overall ambiance. We retained the classic jalousie windows and complemented them with new picture windows, enhancing natural light, air flow and comfort throughout the interiors.

We can't wait to reveal the fully furnished and operational space soon. Stay tuned for the final transformation!

Cultured, Cozy, and Classy

In transforming this 164sqm family home, our design prioritized these core values to cater to the clients' needs and lifestyle.

We seamlessly integrated existing furniture pieces and artworks, ensuring that they were highlighted in the new design. The spaces were thoughtfully crafted to evoke openness and relaxation, prioritizing comfort above all. The harmonious blend of neutral tones and textures, complemented by ambient lighting, fosters a sense of silent luxury.

Ultimately, our clients now enjoy a refined yet welcoming ambiance at home, where they can freely express themselves and take pride in showcasing their cherished furniture and collections.

Connecting people, places, and stories toward a shared mission.

This is the essence we aim to capture in the design of this 126 sqm office in Makati City. Drawing inspiration from IDinsight's distinctive branding language, strategically placed graphics throughout the office maintain a cohesive representation of the company's identity. Each visual element symbolizes the collective strength of the team and their dedication to realizing IDinsight's mission and achieving success together.
