San Bartolome Residence
Ayala Alabang, Manila, Philippines
Ayala Alabang, Manila, Philippines
This home for empty-nesters presents a sleek, minimal street façade behind which lies a private garden. The main living and dining rooms are contained within a transparent pavilion adjacent to a pool and lawn. Beyond the stone wall that delineates the far edge of the pool lies a more private master suite and den area reserved for the couple. Additional bedrooms used occasionally are further removed on the second floor. Segregation of spaces by degrees of privacy and by frequency of use is seamlessly intertwined with the architectural expression within the 590 square meter home.
