The owners of this home are of Filipino and Japanese descent, but they say that the design aesthetic conforms to neither culture. There are a few Filipino accents and small framed Japanese posters, but other than that, the space isn’t obviously done up in a particular style. They also say that they like keeping a modern look but also enjoy the warmth of wood. Both of these elements are present in the shapes and materials found throughout the unit. There are no loud pieces that immediately grab one’s attention; instead the space attracts with a relaxed, unified sort of look, with interesting little things that quietly catch one’s eye.
