Craving for a home away from the hustle and bustle of the city and with enough peace and quiet, this home's owners found the perfect plot outside Metro Manila--in Kawit, Cavite, to be precise. But while finding the perfect location was one thing, building the dream house was another.
To help with the decor, the owners sought the help of designer Grace Moslares of Magara Designs. Neutral colors were the key to achieving the look the owners preferred, but Moslares also injected a few bold hues to segregate the areas--an especially beneficial trick for a compact house like this one. Serving sizes of elegance can also be seen throughout the home, via chandeliers and droplights. Grace matched these with contemporary furniture pieces, chosen because they're easy to maintain.
In the end, the desire for a simple but stylish house was met, one where beautiful memories can be made.
