Architecture begins with an idea.
Good design solutions are not merely physically interesting but are driven by undelying ideas. An idea is a specific structure by which we organize, understand and give meaning to external experiences and information. Without underlying ideas informing their buildings, architects are merely space planners. Space planning with decoration applied to “dress it up” is not architecture; architecture resides in the DNA of a building, in an embedded sensibility that infuses its whole.”

Situated in between two mortuaries, Ghost Coffee defied the odds of suspicious “bad luck” and brought to the community a sanctuary for coffee lovers in the midst of the pandemic.

Third in a series of projects within the span of two and a half years, GC Cafe is strategically located at the border of Cainta and Pasig. Offering the same set of quality food, this branch offers more seating capacity encapsulated in an architecture fitting the geography of the property in the shape of a triangle.
Proper space planning not only ensured efficiency, but also gave an opportunity for interesting interior volumes - positive and negative spaces that fit into a whole.

SUN VALLEY RESIDENCE
My third project with this client - the first two being their previous condominium units back in 2017 and 2020 - this is their first residence. Deciding between buying a house that’s ready for move-in, versus building a house of their own design, they showed me a floorplan drawn initially by their contractor for consultation. After tweaking the programming and planning of the initial layout, they hired an Architect who based the final drawings on my initial sketch.
This three-storey, four-bedroom residence is located on a hill with a multi-level staircase spanning from the basement up to the third floor. With double volume windows and natural stone facade, this residence stands out among its model house neighbors as one that’s carefully planned and well-thought of. With textures and neutral colors, it blends well with the environment, withstanding the different elements uphill.
