Reimagining a long-standing family home into a refined modern residence, this renovation project in Ayala Alabang reflects the client’s vision of timeless simplicity and comfort. Completed in 2014, the design embraces a contemporary architectural approach that highlights openness, proportion, and natural light. A neutral palette of whites and grays is complemented by touches of green, consistent with the home’s overall natural theme. Wooden finishes extend across both the exterior and interior, introducing warmth and texture that soften the clean geometry of the structure and create visual harmony throughout. At the heart of the home is a double-height living area, where vertical wooden slats frame the staircase and a chandelier serves as an elegant focal point. The result is a modern residence that balances simplicity and sophistication while maintaining a strong connection to nature.
