When we first featured the house of stylist Donna Cuna-Pita, many were amazed by how she and her husband were able to build a lovely dream home with a minimal budget. Making smart choices, working closely with architect Mikko Yap of FOYA Architects, buying pieces from secondhand stores, and going the green route proved to be wise calls for the pair.
