As an expat living abroad, the owner of this condo wanted a place of his own in the Philippines that told the story of his own travels all over the world. He wanted a place in the industrial style, but personalized with décor and items that he collected himself from past adventures in other places. The challenge was to fit enough storage space in the small bedrooms, as well as maintain enough wall space and display shelves to accommodate his present and future collections.

The living area in particular, was planned as if the dining and the living room were one single space. This made the space look bigger that most units this size. An added kitchen bar zoned the kitchen without making it feel cramped, while at the same time, providing an additional prep area.
