Exploring modern Japandi timeless house in our schematic design phase of our Casa King.

Casa King
Floor Area: 160.00 sqm.
📍 Mendez, Cavite

We wanted to design a home that feels calm without feeling plain, warm without feeling heavy, and contemporary without losing the sense of timelessness.

For Casa King, we explored the quiet language of Japandi and translated it into something softer and more tropical.

Rounded edges meet clean lines.
Wooden screens filter the light.
Breeze blocks create moments of openness and privacy.
Warm stone and natural tones soften the crispness of the white facade.

Casa Zuniega, completed and turned over!

One of our favorite things about this home is how the tropical character comes through in the simplest details, especially the breeze blocks that bring in light, air, and a little bit of playfulness to the space.

Blending tropical, brutalist, and contemporary elements, Casa Zuniega was designed to feel bold but still comfortable and lived-in. It was such a fulfilling experience seeing this project grow from the initial design ideas into the home it is today.

Grateful to our clients, Mr. Arvin and for trusting us throughout the entire process, and to everyone who helped bring Casa Zuniega to life. 🤍

Tropical in spirit and grounded by the quiet honesty of brutalism, the architecture stays simple so nature can take the lead. High ceilings invite natural light deep into the home, open spaces encourage connection, and every opening allows the house to breathe with its surroundings.

The Green Box Interiors is a serene expression of simple, flexible, and timeless tropical living.

Using a minimalist tropical approach, the design combines soft green accents, textured whites, and natural materials to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Inspired by wabi-sabi approach, it embraces the beauty of simplicity and imperfection — creating a space that feels both grounded and effortlessly calming, comfortable and timeless.

Heartfelt congratulations, Ar. Rizelle May Espiridion and Ar. Christian Cez Javier, our first apprentices, now our peers in the architectural profession!

As GD grew, I watched both of you grow alongside it. Seeing how you handled projects, challenges and responsibilities over the years fills me with deep gratitude, and I’ve learned so much from each of you as well!

Somewhere along the way I realized, you were already ready to be architects. And today you’ve proven it!

Your GD Architects family is so proud of you both! 🩶

Every year, welcoming a new batch of interns reminds us of our own beginnings in architecture, full of curiosity, ideas, and the desire to learn.

Over the past few weeks, it has been a privilege to share our studio, experiences, and conversations about architecture with our 2026 interns from BulSU-CAFA. Seeing their confidence grow, their ideas become more refined, and their presentation skills improve throughout the program are the rewarding parts of mentorship.

Thank you and good luck to your thesis year, future architects, Cassandra and Marcus!

The idea was quiet and grounded. A space that doesn't compete with its surroundings, but belongs to it. We translated that into a composition of simple volumes, solid, restrained and intentional.

Openings are all about the light, views, and how the house breathes. The client chose jalousie windows throughout, allowing constant airflow even during rain, making the spaces feel naturally ventilated and alive.

Nothing excessive. Nothing accidental. Every line, every material, every opening, considered.

Why do we love high ceilings?

Because in the tropics, good design should breathe.

High ceilings allow warm air to rise, improve natural ventilation, bring in more natural lighting, and create a feeling of openness that transforms everyday living. What appears to be a luxury feature is actually a smart architectural response to climate.

The result? Cooler interiors, brighter spaces and homes that feel connected to nature.

In our projects, high ceilings aren't just about making spaces bigger, they're about making them better.

Thrilled to be collaborating with Zantia Architecture + Design

An ongoing residential project currently taking shape in collaboration with GD Architects, with Zantia Architecture + Design leading the architectural direction.

At Zantia, we see construction as more than a phase of ex*****on. It is where vision begins to engage with structure, material, proportion, and detail in its most tangible form. Every stage carries intention, and every decision contributes to how the space will eventually be experienced and lived in.

As the project continues to progress, the architecture slowly reveals its identity through form, light, texture, and composition. A careful process shaped through collaboration, clarity, and a shared commitment to thoughtful design.

A vision steadily taking form through purpose, process, and precision.
