Northlight Apartment

Makati, Metro Manila108 m²Concept study

A considered apartment renovation. Fewer partitions, useful storage, and a soft northern light.

An existing apartment with a generous window line and a fragmented interior.

Challenge

Improve circulation without moving the primary service zones.

The plan

Rooms in
relationship.

Select a room to see its character.
Spatial study. Not a construction document.

Material

A quiet
conversation.

Oak, Textured Plaster, Brushed Metal, Limestone. Each surface serves the space through texture, proportion, and the way daylight meets its edge.

the everyday.

A living and dining room shares the longest window. Joinery absorbs storage into the edges of the plan.
