Interior designer Aya Villasis, who is in charge of decorating the house, says that walls were already dilapidated, and rainwater was leaking from the ceiling before they got any work done. The third floor likewise went through major reconstruction to correct some structural concerns.

To highlight this feature, the DMCI Homes’ construction team designed a TV wall that complements the size of the ceiling. All the TV walls, Aya reveals, are made by the company’s in-house Fit-out team.
Even before Aya discloses the theme, the light and airy feel of the whole place makes it easy for the audience to guess it’s coastal luxe.
After a short tour, the audience is led to the second floor, where the master bedroom resides, and the third floor, which Aya describes as “the heart of the house.” This soon-to-be-family room is complete with balconies on both sides—which can be made into a mini-garden. The 40.57-sqm room will be adorned with a big TV and floor-to-ceiling curtains for privacy.
