This print edition explores optimistic architecture—where design not only promotes beauty but also fosters joy, hope, and meaningful connections. It features projects from various regions across the country, each one placing users’ needs, lifestyle, and values at the heart of the creative process.

Our cover story spotlights the home of landscape artist and painter Ponce Veridiano in Nagcarlan, Laguna. Surrounded by lush greenery, this residence promotes tranquility, with each space thoughtfully connected to nature. It is a fine example of how architecture blends with the environment, creating a place for reflection and creativity.

Other stories include a family home designed by Ed Calma, where the interplay of light, texture, and volume elevates everyday living; a residential project by Royal Pineda, where luxury is redefined through meticulous space planning; and commercial spaces that not only offer exceptional dining experiences but are also deeply rooted in culture and tradition.
