PROJECT: Tropical 1-Bedroom Condo Unit at SM Blue

      Weekends are made for getaways, either up in the mountains or maybe even at the edge of the sea. Lying under the palm trees, sand beneath your toes and the cool ocean breeze blowing through your hair. In the busy city however, life speeds up and everything can be chaotic, especially in the streets of Manila. This simple condo unit was designed with exactly those two sentiments in mind, to have a sort of getaway home for its owners in the heart of the city. Placed near a highly populated area with nearby universities and business districts, as well as a being in the crossroads between cities, the place was given an energetic burst of yellow on the walls to reflect the vibrant nature of its surroundings. The same type of energy is reflected in the rest of the unit with the tropical colors of its furnishings such as the apple green sofa bed or the red desk chair. To balance all the colors, other custom furniture and built-in modules are finished in nice wood laminates for more earth tones. Finally, a few artworks and personal touches complete the whole tropical look with touches of blue and the feel of the waves. The result, a condo unit with just the basics, but with a totally refreshing feeling in contrast to the buzz of city life.
