Join Philippine Tatler Homes as we walk you through some marvellous summer residences—seaside havens, mountain hideaways, and city houses awash with colour—each fashioned distinctly and each with its own story to tell. We also bring you the latest trends in interior design, our picks of beautiful lounges and chairs, and an insider's look at the Miele-Museum in Gütersloh, Germany.

This issue is all about finding that Soulful Retreat; about creating spaces that are grounded in the landscape, in synergy with nature and rooted in sustainability. Apart from Mingala, we also have a stunning home in Camiguin designed by Edwin Uy that marries modernist sensibilities with the natural beauty of the site. Back in the city, the family home of Jessica Kienle Maxwell is a chic respite in an urban jungle. Speaking of chic, designer and author, Blue Carreon has recently published a book, Equestrian Life in the Hamptons, wherein he shares his passion for the unique atmosphere of beach and bridle.

Tatler Homes latest issue is all about inviting happiness and joy in the home, whether that’s in the form of luxurious catered dinners or simple movie night get together.

We celebrate our 32nd volume with a special two-cover edition, headlined by Amanda Griffin Jacob, Nikki Gil Albert, Dr. Z Teo and Ram Bucoy. Shot in the newly renovated Scavolini showroom, they share all about bringing our loved ones back to hearth and entertaining in our kitchens.

Seasoned hostess, Tanya Moreno-De La Paz opens her home to us and shares spaces that were designed for the perfect party. A stunning home designed by Jason Buensalido emphasizes the fluidity between indoor and outdoor areas, with a gorgeous bar and lounge area perfect for sunset cocktails.

More stories are in store for Tatler Homes’ 32nd volume including ones of Alice Eduardo and her exceptional tableware collection, Nicole Whisenhunt’s intimate dinners, and Rissa Mananquil-Trillo and Cynthia Almario’s favourite spaces at home. We also have some delightful Tuscan-inspired recipes for your next gathering.

This issue embodies Homes editor Stephanie Zubiri’s ideals—that true luxury doesn’t come from what you can buy, not even what you can experience, but more importantly who you get to experience it with.

Photographed by Scott A Woodward, our cover story is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional bahay na bato designed by JJ Acuña, in collaboration with his sister, lawyer and philanthropist Geraldine Acuña- Sunshine. A true love letter to their heritage, the Acuña family home in the heart of the metropolis is a beautiful resort-like haven filled with local art and furniture. 

We also explore this concept of Modern Filipino Architecture in a more in-depth manner as we speak to the architect Manny Miñana on the theories
behind his body of work. From traditional weaves becoming a mainstay for home décor to a young Filipina, Mirei Monticelli, making waves at this year’s Salone di Mobile, this issue champions successful intersection of our exceptional craftsmanship and ingenious homegrown designers.

Aside from this, we also feature the thoughtfully conceptualised space of banker, Anne Alonso, who worked with Joseph Goyenechea on a full renovation of her 3-bedroom apartment that showcases her love for unique antiques and local art. Other creative personalities who opened their homes to us are the vivacious Marga Nograles and the über cool Bea Ledesma.

This issue is all about that “Great Escape”. And whether you seek it on the open road, drifting along the Nile River or by creating a blissful bedroom retreat, I believe the solace you seek is within reach.

Take architect Conrad Onglao and singer Zsa Zsa Padilla’s lush weekend retreat in Lucban, Quezon. The pair love to spend mornings drinking coffee and bird watching on the terrace of their casita while overlooking the pond. Stephanie Kienle Gonzalez creates a luminous and soulful residence within the urban jungle of Metro Manila. And we also glimpse Poul Madsen’s chic apartment in Copenhagen along with stunning residences in Bodrum, Singapore and Paris.

In this issue, we celebrate the people, spaces and objects that help us achieve those small yet significant moments. Photographed by Scott A Woodward, quintessential hostess and lifestyle writer Alicia Sy opens her home and shows us how to put together a space that is layered with meaning and memories. Carol Karthe showcases her newly built residence in Sta Elena that prioritises seamless outdoor and indoor living, with vast open spaces for welcoming guests. Nathalie Kuepfer Henares and Happy Ongpauco-Tiu share their family traditions and recipes, while the glamourous Tina Cuevas gives tips on entertaining. We also gather the metro’s best appetisers in a sumptuous renaissance spread styled by Isabel Lozano for W17 and captured by the talented Sonny Thakur. Gift ideas, sweets, treats and many more festive inspirations fill these colourful pages.

We also explore the soulful Danish concept of Hygge, which means to create a warm and cosy atmosphere where one can enjoy good things with good people. I can’t think of a better way to sum up what this issue is all about.

We focus on the timeless appeal of Mid- Century Modern design and the ethos behind some of the greatest designers the world has witnessed. Ken and Isa Mishuku, owners of vintage furniture platform Mid-Century Manila, open their home filled with original collectibles and share how they’ve embraced the mindset of Ray and Charles Eames. Tokyo-based photographer, Andrew Faulk, artistically reinterprets Isamu Noguchi’s philosophies and aesthetic through a series of images taken across Japan.

We feature the people who have decorated their homes as a poignant reflection of their own personal style. In this issue is the gorgeous family seaside home that Mikka Padua shared with close friend Kitty Bunag, where her vivid memory lives on in the painterly colours of the La Union sunset. Bianca Monzon Cueva and Ria Prieto, who are both deeply rooted in the fashion industry, approach décor in the same way that they would construct an ensemble—with love and balance. Throughout this issue, you’ll find people who are avid collectors and have an uncanny knack of soulfully curating spaces filled with impulse buys and objects they adore.

In this issue we celebrate the hands that make the beautiful objects that fill our homes and the raw materials from which they are born. Photographed by Paco Guerrero, our cover stories—Jet Acuzar and the workshops of Las Casas de Acuzar in Bataan—illustrate the excellence of Philippine craftsmanship. We juxtapose Jet’s minimalist yet heritage-centric home with the wonderful, creative grit of her family’s atelier. Chef Aaron Isip also opens his bachelor pad, sharing his Filipino wabisabi ethos. There are also wonderful stories from across our country featuring master potters, historic mansions and sustainable woodsmiths. And placing the spotlight on raw materials, we also showcase handblown glass, luxury leather and sleek stone lighting.

We also cannot ignore that glorious blue sky and brilliant sunshine that embrace us during these summer months. To add a splash of colour: there are colourful bedroom designs, vibrant coastal homes and stunning abstract artworks by young contemporary artists like Gabby Prado, JC Intal, and Fitz Herrera. The latter’s gorgeous and uplifting work has a place in my office above refurbished, custom-made, vintage narra buffet by Allen Oblena. The impeccably elegant Fortune Ledesma gives us a peek into a day in her life while Juana Manahan Yupangco teaches us how to eat a rainbow palette of produce.

In this issue, we focus on these qualities and integrate
them with the principles of beauty and style that Tatler is
known for. Integration is key. As all the elements of our
lives are now fully intertwined and revolving around the
home, I believe we can fully embrace the concept of enduring, sustainable quality in our lifestyles.

Tatler Homes Philippines reflect on the key concept "Dual Living", where the home is an integral part of our lifestyles—being the axis around which not just routine but also work, school, and leisure revolve. Be inspired from the people featured in this issue and explore how we can adopt their mindsets and design principles to create a harmonious home that encompasses all aspects of our lives.

Architect Sarah Canlas, whose stunning, self-designed Antipolo family home features on this edition's cover, introduces us to the concept as she herself was fashioning a life split between a chic urban condo and an expansive retreat. Dual Living advocates Donnie and Crickette Tantoco open their beautiful homes to us and share how they have created two distinct spaces adapted to the dichotomous rhythm and flow of weekday and weekend. Featured as well in our pages another gorgeous set of properties filled with sentiment and heart: one in a nondescript building in the central business district of Makati and the other by the sea.

As the holidays approach, we look back on the amazing year that was and give thanks. The pages of our year-end Luxe Issue are sprinkled with happy celebrations, festive tablescapes and a bright and bountiful Italian Thanksgiving Feast.

For the first time ever, we present a special two-cover edition showcasing a splendid Fort Bonifacio high-rise apartment and an enchanting Hudson Valley garden. As you turn the pages, be inspired by the show-stopping interiors from a bevy of beautiful homes both here and abroad.

We also feature the remodelled Cape Town residence of interior
decorator Kim Stephen. Here, bursts of brightness and whimsy come together in an open plan house that is an ode to eternal summer.

Across continents, on a rocky promontory in Mallorca, a spectacular weekend home is done up in a restful palette of sand and ivory. Designed to take full advantage of the stunning views its location affords, it is a dream home where the owners and their guests can relax and unwind.

Even in an urban dwelling, it’s easy to evoke a resort-like mood this season with our selection of summery finds that look effortless both indoors and out.

Finally, we remember Karl Lagerfeld, whose brilliance lives on beyond the world of fashion. Celebrate his enduring legacy with a limited edition of the iconic MOOD flatware, the fruit of Lagerfeld’s last collaboration with Christofle.

In this issue, we take you across continents into a world of wonderfully eclectic luxury interiors beginning with our cover story: the home of Aquazzurra’s Creative Director Edgardo Osorio. Located within the historic Palazzo Corsini in Florence, it is a glorious play of contrasting elements—antique and modern, colour and pattern—all set off against De Gournay’s divine wall coverings. 

Bespoke furniture joins arresting contemporary artworks to create a perfect blend of duality, of past and present. An equally elegant co-mingling of disparate elements takes place at a high-rise luxury apartment in Manila’s bustling Bonifacio Global City. Here, the architect and designer J Anton Mendoza’s sleek, clean lines set the stage for contemporary furniture from some of the finest brands such as Walter Knoll and Molteni & C, side by side with the homeowner’s collection of antique Oriental ceramics and Japanese Edo screens.

Our year end Luxe Issue is also brimming with interesting art features: from insights on Nam Jun Paik at Leon Gallery International’s opening show in collaboration with Gagosian Gallery; and Andres Barrioquinto’s recent portraits of Filipino personalities for the benefit the Asian Cultural Council at the National Museum; to a snapshot of international contemporary sculpture at Regent’s Park during Frieze London.

In time for the holidays, you will also find some great gift ideas on our pages. Check out  our picks of posh home accessories like Diptyque’s Constellation Carousel that adds a new twist to burning holiday candles; or consider Dyson’s recently launched Airwrap, a hair styling gadget powered by innovative technology, sure to make a great addition to any stylish lady’s dressing room.  Likewise, you can never go wrong with a beautiful book that makes for a visual feast, not only for the eyes but for any coffee table.

For many of us, the kitchen is the heart of the home. In today’s world, lines blur between the kitchen as a practical service area for cooking, and the kitchen as a creative space used for dining and entertaining. It is now central to many a special occasion. It is where memorable meals are whipped up. It is where friends and family love to gather.

Within our contemporary lifestyle, it has become de rigeur for one’s kitchen to become an inspiring space. You can achieve just that with the latest kitchen trends as spotted by Asia Tatler in this year’s EuroCucina during Milan Design Week. Pepper that with a range of cool and clever kitchen aids to make party prep easier and more fun.

Amongst the homes featured in this issue, several epitomise this growing trend. An 18th-century château in France, for instance, has been lovingly restored by its current owners and now sports a modern kitchen in sleek matte black steel, a striking counterpoint to the original limestone flooring which dates back to 1750.

Entertaining, of course, is never complete without the essentials and this issue is chock full of them—from precious tabletop luxuries and unique floralscapes to cocktail-inspired furnishings and accents—plus wonderful recipes for pure, natural, and nutritious dishes like the delightful amaranth orange porridge with roasted apples on this page.

Our cover story walks you up through four floors of Tim Yap's townhouse—designed by Carlo Calma—where every square inch of wall bursts with the colour and texture of his contemporary art collection.

In the gorgeous light of a perfect summer day, nature’s hues, too, are amplified. Step into a suburban sanctuary south of Manila designed by the architect Noel Saratan for Patsy Zobel de Ayala. His ingenious architecture makes you feel immediately one with nature as the luscious greens of tree ferns and palms, and the calming blues of pools and ponds blur the lines between indoors and outdoors. 

In a similar fashion, the vivid African sky seems to float right into The Observatory, the spectacular home of IT entrepreneur Rory Sweet, nestled high in South Africa’s Waterburg Mountain Range.

For a full-on play of colour, the Singapore residence of the interior designer Wendy Smith is a must-see. Here, Peranakan style meets Matthew Williamson in a bold and vibrant psychedelic fantasy. 

Also cause for celebration is the landmark show of the acclaimed Filipino painter Elmer Borlongan. My thanks to Sheila Ramos for focusing an insider’s lens on the artist and sharing her unique perspective with us. 

Find this and a lot more colourful inspiration on these pages.
