Legazpi Towers 100: 5B Project Update

This old condominium unit were planned to divided into parts, one destined to socializing, which includes dining, living and kitchen area, and the other, for more private life which includes the master's bedroom, child's bedroom and entertainment area. The parts were separated by partitions made in white painted walls and wood color combinations.

The construction can be defined as planes and masses that emerge from within the space creating different ambiances and perspectives that produce movements and areas of visual interests. Another this unit's qualities is the way different materials and textures are combined by using light colored porcelain tiles, except on the bedrooms. This enriches the visual perception of the whole area. In the entrance, living area, dining area and passage to bedrooms.

The linearity of the partitions and separating elements has been slightly broken by geometric ceiling and gaps, and openings which have been used as aesthetic source to introduce the environment. In this case, the spaces resulting from this resource are used as functional element such as shelves or recessed tables.

Legaspi Towers 100 5B- A New Order

Over the base of the old apartment located at 5B Legazpi Towers 100, Legazpi St., Legaspi Village, Makati, the priority in this refurbishing has been that freeing the interior space and giving it a regular order.

Consequently, the first step was to tear down the partition walls and leave a large space like a blank page in which a new order of structure could be created. This space was divided in to two parts, first part is for the master's bedroom, girls room, entertainment room, kitchen, maid's quarter, and the second part is for dining room and living area. The second part  is completely left with wide open space as living area,  shared by the common zones, which next as dining area. The first half was divided into five different areas with different ambiances to incorporate the daily lifestyle of the family, which are communicated by the entertainment area and the kitchen. What is more , better use of the available space separated by partitions walls, for example, in the study area, also serves a entertainment area for the family, shelves have been distributed to almost the perimeter of the room that have permitted to build a library, shelves will be fitted practically. The choice for glass and stainless fittings for all the fixed furnishings along with the dominance of the color, this style of modern-contemporary which is at the same time is timeless. This sensation is strengthened by the presence of the hallway fitted with family pictures and art as wall gallery.

The project is at second week, fairly good enough as start.

Interior Design Planning Checklist

Step One:

First figure out what the maximum amount of money you have available for the upcoming project. This step is often overlooked. Once you commit to the budget, you can then make clear decisions concerning what will be done when. Your money will control how much change you will accomplish.

Step Two:

Make a list of what you want done. This sounds simple, but requires some discipline. Pictures help in this process. Select photographs from magazines and catalogs that illustrate design elements, furniture, colors, woodwork, etc. that you like.

Your list must contain priorities. Be realistic. Indicate the things / rooms / projects that are absolute musts. Keep in mind that you should work in some type of order. Don't organize projects such that workmen walk through or past rooms or hallways that were just finished! They could ruin brand new work. Use common sense.

List priorities with each project or room. Keep in mind that it is easy to add an area rug, furniture or window coverings, but hard to change wallpaper or permanent fixtures.

Step Three:

Once you have your budget and wish list(s), it is time to call in a professional. Start this task by asking friends if they have used a pro. Consider visiting designer show houses to see the flavor of designers.

You need to feel comfortable with a professional. Ask them pointed questions about past jobs. Ask for references. See if you can't visit past jobs. At the very least, look through photo albums of their past jobs.

Talk in great detail about the fees your professional will charge. Get all points in writing. Ask the professional for a written proposal regarding their scope of work. Find out just what they will be doing to earn their fee. A true professional will not get defensive at all with this procedure. If they do, you need to find someone else to work with!
