Tampay
(n.) serenity. Nestled somewhere in the mountains of Orani, Bataan, the Tampay Cafe aims to serve guests of the nearby bed and breakfast in Sinagtala Farm and Resort. The cafe, a later addition to the property, is built beside the existing Tampay House along the sides of the mountain. Although the cafe rests on a small and irregularly shaped lot, it feels very spacious with the abundance of natural light not to mention the breathtaking views just right outside.
Being one of the few establishments far from the city, my idea was to make this a relaxing cafe that still has a unique and quirky vibe. Despite its modest size, each corner of the cafe has a different look and vibe. Inspired by the surrounding nature and mountain views, the wood-tiled wall gives a sense of warmth with deep earth tones.
Taking cues from the resort's namesake of
'sinag'
and
'tala'
, midnight blue represents a star filled night sky and has a more solemn mood. In contrast to both, blush pink has a livelier and more vibrant personality, acting also as a backdrop to the plentiful green accents in the cafe.
Working on this project was quick and easy even with the 3-hour drive from Manila. Owned by very accommodating and outgoing clients, it was easy to establish a connection and work remotely on the project with the owners taking lead during construction. Almost all coordination was done on mobile, from the choice of tiles and furniture to coordinating changes with the design. Lighting fixtures were also discussed over the phone, with designer and client coordinating which items to buy. The diamond lights I chose where then purchased by the client and installed over the white granite counter, also with lighting accents on its pink facade. The finishing touches were done over a span of a few weekend trips to the resort, with various items like faux greenery and quirky art pieces brought in to style the cafe, bringing in the charm of the outdoors in.
Unique on its own with a playful twist, the Tampay cafe still manages to reflect the serene nature of its surroundings while complementing its changing seasons. As day turns to night,
the
mix of different colors and materials allows the mood to shift from a vibrant energy to a more relaxed tempo. From first light to after dark, the Tampay cafe caters to all kinds of travelers who wish to enjoy an early morning pick-me-up or a soothing night cap.
