How can a relaxing atmosphere be achieved in a 380sqm corner lot adjacent busy roads? This place was able to capture a sense of vacation given the limited space.

CONCRETE HOUSE
How can a relatively cold material house a cozy home? The exterior of the house is a clean concrete form contrasted by wood accents. The honest textures of materials give character to the simplistic shape of the house. The concrete continues to the open plan interior. The varying shades of concrete delineate the horizontal and vertical concrete planes. The choice of bright colored elements neutralizes the rigidity of the interior of the house. The dark colored doors, the warm dark furniture pieces, and the bright, warm colored accent pieces contrast the coolness of the concrete. This house was proposed to be a boxy exercise of contemporary Brutalism. With two bedrooms and two baths, this a cozy space for a family with this aesthetic preference. A

MINIMAL HOME How can a space look minimal without sacrificing function? The space was designed to be minimal without compromising comfort and utility. The client wanted a high contrast, neutral color scheme, hence the use of white, grays and blacks. Aside from the wood flooring the play on the finishes gives texture to an otherwise basic space. The living room elements were design to be configurable to also serve as dining, working, and sleeping space. This is afforded by the custom modular sofa and folding side desk. This setup along with the plethora of storage cabinets help maintain the minimalistic space while maintaining utility.

CONCRETE GETAWAY
How can a space help its users detach for the bustle of life? This is a studio condo unit designed to be the client's man-cave. The home allows the owner to unwind and detach after a week of bright and stimulating work. Concrete and black dominate the space to give the owner a sensation of being sucked in and away from his hectic day job. Wood is used as an accent to break the coldness of the concrete.
The sleeping area and connecting TV walls are designed to feel like a pod, to give a sense of spatial separation without hard room dividers. The entire can feel like one huge space during the day and at night the room can be closed-off from the rest of the unit.

MODERN JEEPNEY
OBJECTS How can the jeepney be modernized without removing its core essence? This is a concept of what the next evolution of the jeepney could look like. The form is basically a rounded rectangular prism on wheels with an electric powertrain. This is an exercise on how to modernize the jeepney without compromising the local jeepney manufacturing industry. The simplicity of the form allows the bodywork to be fabricated by existing local jeepney manufacturers using familiar methodologies. The smooth surfaces can also be a canvas for murals. The jeepney is cultural just as much as it is utilitarian, so it is essential to retain a certain resemblance of its history and meaning.

Mobile devices are lifestyle gadgets focused on consumption, but usually lack services catering to health. There are a lot of devices and apps offering fitness services, but not to an extent that it's considered a medical device. What if there is a device that focuses on in-depth health monitoring? A device that could serve like a smart ID that could securely contain a person's medical information and history, from doctor's appointments, prescriptions, to hospital records.
A device securely accessible to medical professionals through NFC, when needed, to optimize most of the info-based medical processes. A device that could optimize setting up appointments, purchasing medicine, and making sure a person completes all medical-related necessities. A device that could alert the necessary people in case of emergencies. The goal of the device is to streamline a person's medical needs so they can focus on living.

BRANDS How can a brand break the gender stigma of skin care? OWN is a skin care brand catering to both men and women. Branding of most skin care brands are polarized, showing a distinct pre-concieved divide between the brand for male and female. The divide between sexes is slowly feathering, but the distinction between brands are still clear. Everyone needs to take care of their skin, but skin care routines are generally considered feminine. The goal of the brand is to break that stigma, and normalize skin care for everyone. There is a need for brands that cater to all genders, brands that don’t adhere to gender normative standards of branding and marketing. The name was formulated so it can resonate with everyone, also it symbolizes taking responsibility for one’s own body and hygiene.
