NA Residence / "Juliana House"
Filinvest II Subdivision, Batasan Hills, Quezon City
Completed: 2024

Originally planned as a renovation of a two-storey house built in the 1980s, this project evolved into a complete transformation. Initially commissioned to serve as the design Architects and Engineers for the renovation, we completed the plans for the existing structure. However, just before construction began, the owners opted for a fresh start—demolishing the original house and building an entirely new one.

In 2021, we finalized the design for the new structure, but the pandemic caused delays in its construction, which resumed in late 2022. Along the way, the project faced numerous challenges: constant rescheduling, pandemic-related hurdles, soaring material costs, and the need to engage a new contractor to maintain top-notch quality. Despite these setbacks, the vision and determination to see the project through never faltered. Finally, in October 2024, the house was completed and turned over, with some minor additions being currently added.

This 351-sqm home sits on a 495-sqm lot with a front façade facing a bustling road and oriented toward the northwest. The design team carefully positioned windows to minimize noise and heat while maximizing natural light and ventilation. Designed in the Modern Filipino Architectural style, the house features seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, tropical design elements suited to the local climate, and high-quality material finishes.
