Tatler Homes Philippines Magazine - Homes Vol 35

In this issue

On our cover, mother and entrepreneur Kai Lim shares with Tatler Homes about why she dedicates so much effort to opening her home to others. She is the radiant embodiment of the most gracious hostess. Juana Manahan-Yupangco also serves a vibrant spread, with recipes from her latest cookbook that elevates Filipino vegetables like never before.
We also hear from Chito Vijandre and Ricky Toledo on how to decorate in the fashion of “stealth wealth” as well as tips from Max Soliven for incorporating statement carpeting in your home.
We also champion collaborations between luxury brands and artists and artisans in our usual roundup of Editor’s Picks. Being able to cooperate in creative endeavours is the epitome of abundant thinking. I personally love the positive vibrational quality of these partnerships and their outcomes.
Lastly, we have selected seven stunning homes from across the world for you to be inspired by. Each of them has a unique tale with the living spaces being the focal point of the home. Locally, we have a gorgeous private residence by the architect Miguel Pastor for a family who loves to entertain. Photographed by Scott A Woodward, the home creatively uses a mix of textures and materials to showcase the homeowner’s art collection. There is also a thoughtfully designed guest extension by Jason Buensalido that embraces the natural elements as an integral part of the concept. The more time passes, the richer the patina of the edifice.
