The great sense of collaboration between designers from the architect to the industrial designers, contractors, landscape architects, bamboo consultants, and lighting consultants resulted in the successful completion of the building. The great collaboration between the craft and the modern ways of construction between the industrial designer’s knowledge in furniture-making together with the architect’s expertise in detailing made this architectural edifice possible. Even from the modern metalwork sculptor for the bronze finished pieces used on the door and other elements to traditional sculptors with the life-like saint statues. This project gave plenty of opportunities for the different people involved with their diverse contributions to the project.

All the bamboo used for the project were actually sourced locally in the northern part of Cebu, in the island of Bantayan, creating numerous jobs for the whole duration of the construction and positively contributing to the sustainability of the project.
