Homeowners Chiqui and Jaypee invested in this 21sqm studio unit in Makati so that they would have a home close to work. However, the married couple did not know how to make their brand new condo look nice and feel comfortable.

Thankfully, interior designer Vivian Gacad knew just what to do! She chose a refreshing color scheme, installed built-in shelves, and brought in a few hidden storage options. The result is a space that looks chic, clean, and unmistakably cozy.
