First Love





                    PROJECT : M residence

                       TYPE : Renovation

                       SIZE : 110 sqm

                   LOCATION : Bacoor, Cavite

                     STATUS : Completed 2010


Habang hinahanda namin ang Kasalan 3210, inihahanda na rin namin ang drawings, permits at iba pang mahahalagang papeles ng M residence. Pagkatapos na pagkatapos ng Kasalan at Pulo't Gata, Day One na agad ng construction.


Wala kaming kasing excited ng nakuha namin ito. Mr&Mrs M. are the  "Ideal Clients" like a glove snuggly fit to a hand. They wanted something out of the box. They had the budget. They had the patience. And most importantly, the TRUST. Exactly what juveniles in this field needed. 


Compared to falling in love for the first time, we gave it our all. Our time, our energy, our$elve$. ;-)


The 2 storey house was completed in 4 months. It was smooth between the client and us. The complicated part was with the workers. We had 3 sets of substitutions before we got the right people.This was the first time we handled 18 individuals at a time.It was chaotic but it paid off in the end.
