Modern Filipino Custom Cabinetry Project in McKinley Hills

Interior Designer: Manosa & Company
Project completion and turnover: May 2019

Inspired by Filipino Craftsmanship

This custom cabinetry project in McKinley Hills, Taguig celebrates contemporary Filipino design by blending natural materials, handcrafted details, and modern functionality. Rather than relying on decorative excess, the cabinetry introduces warmth and character through rich walnut finishes, handcrafted coconut laminate accents, and bespoke woodworking that pays homage to traditional Filipino artistry.

Every element was carefully designed to complement the home's refined interiors while creating spaces that feel welcoming, timeless, and distinctly Filipino.

A Contemporary Home with Filipino Character

One of the defining features of this project is the seamless blend of contemporary architecture and Filipino craftsmanship. Cabinet doors are finished in walnut laminate with handcrafted coco laminate accents, adding warmth and texture while complementing the home's curated collection of traditional Filipino-inspired pieces. Custom solid wood handles were specially crafted for the oversized sliding doors, and the walkway leading to the sunroom continues the design with matching coco laminate details, creating a cohesive flow throughout the home.

Designed for Homes That Tell a Story

Custom cabinetry should do more than provide storage—it should reflect the personality of the people who live there. By combining locally inspired materials with modern design principles, this McKinley Hills residence demonstrates how bespoke cabinetry can create a home that feels both sophisticated and deeply personal.
