Ang's Residence

2012-12-31T21:41:00.001-08:00

A renovation project for Ms Tess Ang - Boy's Rooms 1 and 2, Family Area, Office, and Master's Bedroom.

BEFORE... The Family area is dark and cluttered. Display jars were scattered all over the TV cabinet and there is an empty space while above.

AFTER... The new TV system using modern laminate design created a clean feel and organized appeal from the previous arrangement.

The hanging glass shelf served as display holder for the collection of action figures above the TV while the floating cabinets fill up the empty spaces at the far end wall.

BEFORE...The cabinet for blankets and old stuff is too dark and too heavy for an open area like this.

AFTER.... This is the old cabinet repainted and laminated to be converted into a bookshelves. To accommodate the wide collection of books, there is a pullout tray for easy access to the double row of books per shelf.

BEFORE....The old clock is isolated in between the two openings.

BEDROOM 1 - BEFORE...The baby blue room depicts the preference of young kids. But as they grow older, the boys need to have an identity of their own.

A new look for the growing kids. Instead of cartoon characters and their old baby blue wall paint, we opted for a neutral tone for the room.

BEFORE...this corner was used as bookshelves.

AFTER...We removed the corner cabinet to give space for the clothes and personal items in the closet. To cut and give an open feeling, the middle part of the closet was opened and served as an area for the sound system and other personal stuff. We also organized the interior of the closet to fit accommodate socks, undies, pants and folded clothes. The upper part will be for the blankets and comforters.

BEDROOM 2 - BEFORE

AFTER...We covered the roll-up blinds to match the beds, and changed the finish of the headboard to a light laminate finish. We cleared up the headboard and just hang an abstract artwork between the two windows.

BEFORE...

AFTER...Very light wood laminates added brightness and space to the room. This is the other boys' room having the same design as the adjacent room.

A collection of jars on the floor added warmth to the array of books in the open shelves.

Combined One-Bedroom Unit

2012-08-19T06:21:00.000-07:00

The challenge is to come up with a two-bedroom unit combining two adjacent units. The client wanted a look similar to the model unit. After my visit to the model unit, I decided to try a different approach - more efficient floor layout, materials and finishes that will help in giving a spacious illusion inside the unit, rich and warm colors but subdued walls to soften the area.

After the successful opening of their first store in the Philippines located at RCBC Makati, another store opened this month, now in SM Dasmarinas Cavite. I was given freedom to work on improvements o the display and finishes to create a more open and well-lighted space.

Finally, I was able to take pictures of one challenging project I did after giving birth last 2010. It took me a year to complete the project with so many challenges and from the structure limitations to the efficiency of space allocation for each type of product.

Tiongco Residence

2012-02-15T05:16:00.000-08:00

This is a design and build project in Cambridge Village Floodway Cainta. The owners prefer the traditional look but would like to see simple designs. Part of their requirement is to have a Queen Size bed and Rain Shower at the T&B.

DESIGN SOLUTION:

Since we have limited space, I opted for a whole wall mirror instead of using it as an accent at the dining area. Coved ceilings were added just to add warmth to the space. The wood stain i chose is not too dark. For the closet, they have a "HIS" and "HERS" area. The master's Bedroom was able to accommodate a dresser and a bookcase.

Brgy. Addition Hills, San Juan, Metro Manila

Start of Construction: July 7, 2009
Completion & turnover: September 6, 2009

This is a renovation project. Some of the items were restored like the cabinets of the kid's room and guest's room. For the Master's Bedroom, we created a new space and transferred closet to accommodate more items inside the room.

For plumbing and electrical works, the usual problem with renovation works of old houses is that you do not know what to expect. At the middle of the construction, some problems will arise that you have to address like dis functional water lines and electrical lines.

Old pictures were posted before the renovated project.
