Locally crafted pendants and sconces curated by the owner enrich the interiors with authenticity. Indirect lighting highlights natural finishes of wood and stone, creating warmth and restraint.

Pool reflections add a magical quality, uniting architecture, water, and light. The design captures both Filipino spirit and understated luxury.
