It reflects confidence not just in the design, but in the entire vision. It's trust made tangible, and a powerful message to every future homeowner.

An architect, a resident, and an investor - Pam de Guzman is shaping her own legacy in the very communities she helps create. With four SMDC properties to her name, she is not only building homes, but living and investing in them turning professional practice into personal commitment.

From Blueprint to Belief Architect Pam's story with SMDC began at Hope Residences, the first project she was assigned to lead.

A single site visit changed everything. "The moment I stepped inside, it felt like magic," she recalls. "It was quiet, peaceful, and incredibly grounding - despite being in the middle of a bustling neighborhood." That moment convinced her to bring her parents for a viewing. They felt the same way. Within days, she became a homeowner. "As an architect, I scrutinize every detail. SMDC earned my trust not just as a project - but as a home."
