Actually, I really find it so hard to choose because all are really beautiful and different, So I will just base my picks on which captures my taste. I will not keep you waiting. Here are my Top 5 picks out of the 24 galleries at PSID Evolution 2016
TOP 5
Booth 19: ORGANIC OPULENCE (Lanai/Patio)
Team Members: Samantha Felisse Concha, Monica Layug, Garizza Leonor Lynn Ogoy, Flory Christie Paguirigan, Reynaldo Parale
Metamorphosis. Transformation. Changes. Evolution.
Inspired by the transfiguration of the butterfly, the designers transformed the giver of life, the trees, from log to timber to planks to lumber to a house! From unpolished sedimentary carbonate rock to a boulder to shiny marbles or any natural stones to floors or decorative pieces! This team discovered new ways to transform seemingly irrelevant things to something useful and needed. With the current fast-paced and busy society, these future designers hope to change and bring clean, healthy and stress free beautiful homes to everyone by practicing sustainability with little alterations.
TOP 4
Booth 22: AVANT GARDE INDUSTRIAL (Study/Library)
Team Members: Maria Carmela Dela Cruz, Mary Josephine Reyes, Adrienne Sia, Nikko Sotoridona
The room showcases neutral delightful textural interplay of grainy, earthy wood, and smooth black and raw concrete wall enhance the mood of the space. The selection of furniture and accessories is based on function more than of a style. Furniture pieces are of neutral tone mixed with contemporary furnishings to achieve a warm yet avan-garde industrial look. To create a contrasting yet neutral alette, the flooring is a combination of ceramic tiles with a polished concrete look and wooden planks.
Industrial style as the name implies, draws inspiration from old factories and machines that mass-produce goods. This style intentionally exposes the building materials that many tried to conceal thus, creates a sense of unfinished look and rawness in many of its e ements.
Avan-garde refers to something that is new, unusual, experimenting with new techniques and aesthetic innovations. It pushes the boundaries of what is the norm.
The designers chose a variety of depths and colors for the cabinets to show the playfulness and creativity of the client’s mind who is a writer and a professional photographer. The desk is inspired from books that are piled randomly on top of each other. On the other side, a lounge chair is placed near the window so that the client may enjoy the view outside where he can draw inspirations for his pictures and stories
The latest technological innovation, an interactive projector is incorporated with the design to match with the futuristic appeal. Clean lines and lack of clutter characterize this space. It is simultaneously unusual and engineered, bold and refined.

TOP 1
Booth 16: MODERN FILIPINO(Toilet and Bath)
Team Members: Gabrielle Chua, Sophia Chan, Dianne Lin, Christine Mariano, Eunice Ong, Janica Uy
Using globally known Filipino materials such as rattan and capiz, this group veered away from the usual solihiya backed chair or the vintage capiz windows.
The curved honeycomb divider with rose gold capiz panels is a modern take on the traditional Filipino windows. A perfect mix of warm and cold using dark walnut stains on wood mixed with subtle yet eye-catching pops of rose gold hardware. Simple attention to detail, yet it makes a huge difference.
The group wanted to take it up a notch and make these natural materials lit in a luxurious and contemporary home. With the use of up-to-date techniques and materials, these designs could definitely compete with the international standards.
So there you go… My Top 5 picks. Aren’t they beautiful? If I were to design the interiors of my own house, I want it to look like my top 5 or at least closer to these designs. Of course I want something that I would always look forward to when I get home. Something inspiring, beautiful, relaxing,… a home that you will be proud of.
