T he Philippines has long been a melting pot of world-class artistry and talent.
On 15 July, a silent name in living solutions opened its flagship showroom in the heart of Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Dunwoody & Madison transforms luxury residences, premier resorts and commercial sanctuaries across the Philippines into spaces that breathe and inspire.
Since 2001, the brand has been the low-key manufacturer behind the country’s most elevated spaces, crafting living solutions that speak of both functionality and beauty.
Spanning luxury homes, condominiums, retail spaces, hotels & resorts and other elevated spaces, its projects are helmed by leading professionals in Philippine architecture and interior design.
The maestro’s infinite expressions
The showroom’s soul lies in five meticulously orchestrated kitchen showcases and two transcendent wardrobe installations curated by architect Brian Ver, each a masterpiece conceived by some of the Philippines’ most celebrated architects and interior designers.
Rene Orosa weaves a narrative of timeless elegance, where European sophistication dances with Filipino warmth. His kitchen speaks in contrasts. Clean lines are softened by traditional flares, creating a space that feels both ancient and utterly contemporary, robust yet infinitely comfortable.
Quito Medina crafts an “Everyday Open House Kitchen” that embodies the Filipino spirit of hospitality. Minimalism becomes a warm invitation, where seamless built-in cabinets and conversational bar-height counters create intimate theatersfor life’s daily performances, all while maintaining a visual dialogue with surrounding gardens.
Ed Calma strips away the superfluous to reveal the essential poetry of form. His kitchen transcends function to become an architectural statement, where marble and metal finishes transform utilitarian spaces into sophisticated interior landscapes that seamlessly integrate with open-plan living.
Anton Mendoza breaks conventional barriers with revolutionary vision, presenting a contemporary walk-in closet that redefines luxury through innovative use of faux shagreen. His “Breaking Barriers” concept transforms the mundane ritual of dressing into a personal retreat, where wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling elegance creates a sanctuary of style and self-expression.
Lisa Ampil presents “The Modern Luxe Wardrobe,” a sanctuary where high-end design meets practical elegance. The space becomes a personal atelier, where bespoke floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with plush textile finishes and champagne glass shelves evoke the ambiance of a private boutique for the sophisticated modern woman.
Jorge Yulo completes this symphony of design innovation with his own distinctive interpretation of modular possibility, demonstrating that true craftsmanship lies in the ability to surprise.
Joey Yupangco explores the philosophy of lightness in his “Tutto” design. His vision creates an adaptable chef’s table that serves as a versatile platform for diverse domestic activities, proving that true luxury lies in flexibility and the freedom to transform spaces according to life’s ever-changing rhythms.
