The Loft Effect

This project has been done for a while, but just had time to shoot it today and update my folio :)

Commercial Project: Total - Convenience Store

So here's one of the most recent projects of PTC designed by my sister, Pao Tan.

It's an independent slash private convenience store located in Santiago City, Isabela. Pao conceptualized and designed the interior as well as the exterior of the place (and also the toilet located just outside the establishment). And since its privately owned, and not really a franchise of TOTAL, she and the owner are free to change the details - and both agreed with modern/ minimalist - which is a breather from your regular convenience store :)

Anyway, tucked in the fields where most people go for jogging is this:

 

The toilet.

 Display area.

 At night.

 Lounge area. (This hasn't been filled with books yet.)

Notice the architectural details.

Photog's Booth turned Industrial

so last weekend my styling team and I designed, styled and fabricated a wedding photographer's booth (Kenneth Uy) for the Themes & Motifs Wedding Expo at SMX.

Our peg was this:

 

We wanted to create a Rugged Pop Art concept, since we're trying to veer away from Shabby Chic (which personally, would be soo much fun and easy to make!) since the photographer we're styling is a guy. The idea was crazy! Pop art printed Louis chair, ombre painted walls, bulb chandelier, and floor-lighted brick wall. BUT we also had to make revisions at the last minute since we're trying to make the cost as LOW as possible, and I started doubting whether the pop-art printed Louis chair would still match the corrugated, metal shell (which would be cheaper than the brick, ombre painted wall) and vintage chests I sourced from a friend.

So with limited time (and energy, I just came back from a long hiatus somewhere :) the output turned out to be...

THIS

which I'm still happy with and thinks the effort paid off :)

 

 and YES.

I'm overly obsessed with exposed bulbs, reclaimed wood, random frames, rustic finishes, letters, and wire meshes! and I would keep using them in my projects til I have exhausted them in any way that I imagined them to be! haha OA.  

anyway, here's like the only photo I had with one of my team member and makeup artist friend Elaine Ching, with wedding photographer Kenneth Uy.
