Shades of Gray

After meeting up with an old friend just a few weeks back, I had the chance to know more about what projects she's been busy with lately, being the in-house Interior Designer of Vista Land. Doris Dy has designed numerous model units for the company and she is just constantly busy with on-going model unit projects, more than your fingers and toes combined, can count. Yet, inspite of this woman's busy schedule, she took the time to show me one of the model units she recently finished for the Marfori Tower, one of the properties in the Lake Front Community by Vista Land.

On My Shelf : Elle Decoration Philippines



For this month's "On My Shelf", I am pleased to welcome the Elle Decoration's latest addition to it's worldwide network of home magazines - Elle Decoration Philippines! Published by Summit Publishing Inc., this is the 26th edition of the global brand, favored by over nine million readers worldwide, including myself. I personally am a fan of Elle Decor USA, especially because of the familiarity of the trade suppliers there and the designers. But EDP is just something I'm excited about, as I have been waiting for something like this to happen in the local scene. I am sure, now that we have the EDP, we will be seeing more ED worthy homes - and that means really chic and luxurious designs from the local front.

Concept 360 : UP Interior Design Exhibit

It's that time of the year again. And I'm not talking about Halloween yet! It's the season of Interior Design Exhibits. Every year, the different universities and colleges hold their annual Interior Design exhibits, showcasing the work of their students, usually the graduating class of the ID program. This year, the University of the Philippines Diliman's CHE Interior Design program launched an exhibit that shows the talented work of it's sophomore, junior and senior students. It's ongoing until the 24th of October at the Grand Atrium of the Shangri-la Plaza Mall.


We cordially invite you to CONCEPT 360: The University of the Philippines BS Interior Design Exhibit 2012. Concept 360 focuses on the relevance of interior design in the quality of day to day life and its powerful impact on the lives of the users. 

The exhibit is a collaborative work that will showcase the skills and talents of the sophomore, junior and graduating students. It includes design innovations as applied in our advocacy project, The Pirouette Movement, where we are in the process of redesigning and renovating two cultural institutions.
