THE SECOND TIME AROUND

Ms. Marie Valdez Residence at Nui, Royal Palm

I did the first unit of this client 3 years ago: a 1-bedroom unit fit for Marie and Boo.

Now that a new addition in the family came (a pretty baby girl), Marie and her Husband decided to get a bigger space. The goal was to have multi-functional areas, and merge the existing pieces from her old unit to this new one.

The Outcome: A very successful project and a better unit. I am very happy to be of service to her again.

This is a very successful project. I would like to thank Project Manager Rocel and Foreman Arnel; the rest of the Magara Designs team: Jason, Poy, Bob, Rocel, all the tatays and all the finishers. I would also like to thank tatay Lucio and tatay Luther Sidro for all upholstered furniture pieces.

Love,

A Beautiful Home For A Beautiful Family

Antazo Residence

Design Challenge: To fit four bedrooms upstairs and an additional T&B for mom and dad, three kids, grandma and two maids. In addition, they requested a storage, a functional terrace and a utility area/laundry. In continuation, they also wanted a functional living room/play area and a real dining area where they can finally eat. They also wanted a functional kitchen that is organized, functional furniture pieces and a well lit area. For the finishing, they wanted a full interior and exterior paint finishing including the paint for the garage, gate and fence.

Before Photos:

Before: The kitchen was red with insufficient lighting. The range was located at the dining area, the whole kitchen had leaks and the living room area had big furniture pieces.

Second Floor Area

To have four bedrooms and an additional T&B (major renovation)

Bedroom 1 - Kid's Room

Bedroom 2 - Kid's Room

Bedroom 3 - Lola's Room

Before Photos: The 2nd floor only has 3 bedrooms, with minimal storage. There is no T&B

This was a very difficult renovation. However, the whole team did their best on achieving everything on a very tight budget and a deadline to top it all off. The team did well -- with full effort and maximum output it resulted into a beautiful turnover.

Thank you to Project Manager Rocel Moslares
