Fuego House: Completed 2023

A year after completion, the Fuego house has started to settle in the property and has shown minor repair works to be done such as retouching painting works on wall surfaces. Usually, when a project is completed, it takes about a year or so for the house to “settle” on site/ground and typically, it is inevitable to see some minor superficial works due to this settling phase.

After a year, this beautiful light filled home still looks fresh! Will be visiting the site often again these following weeks to oversee the repair works to be done by the new contractor on board.

We are excited that the owners will finally do their official house warming in a few months after being able to live and use the home for family vacations the past year.

PROJECT: Plata House (street front facade view with fence)

On going Residential full renovation project from 2023. Situated in a 3000sqm lot, the clients wanted to renovate their existing home to accommodate a new Spanish inspired look. We retained most of the existing structural elements because the home’s existing bones were all structurally sound. But for the most part, we gutted out the interior spaces and proposed a more grand yet efficient layout to accommodate our client’s spatial requirements and design vision.

Location: Bauan, Batangas

Target completion: Q3 2024

Design team: Ar. Sonny Aquino, Ar. , Ar. , Ar. , Ar. .spdp , Ar. and Junior Architect

Night lighting test done last week and last night for the Punta Fuego beach house project.

We often do a joint light test together with our lighting consultant/supplier to check the interior and exterior spaces when lit up. Adjustments to the number of lights, its corresponding intensities are done at this stage to address dark spots and areas intended to be accentuated.

For this round, we were able to identify certain spots that need additional lights and bulb wattages to be increased to further illuminate the beautiful spaces. Exterior lights were also finalised to highlight certain areas of the home’s different facades and existing majestic trees.

Can’t wait to see this home light up!!!
