From Healing Hands to Home Harmony: A Filipino Nurse's Scandinavian Dream in Quezon City

Location: SMDC Grass Residences, Quezon City

Design Service: Full Interior Design

Halfway across the world, amidst the bustling corridors of a U.S. hospital, a Filipino nurse quietly nurtured a vision—not just of healing, but of home. With dedication to her profession and an eye for timeless design, she set her heart on transforming two adjoining condo units in the heart of Quezon City into a serene sanctuary inspired by the warm minimalism of Scandinavian living.

Now ready to breathe life into that dream, she is seeking the expertise of a professional interior designer to help shape her vision into reality. Her goal? To create a cohesive and inviting space where clean lines meet cozy textures, where natural light dances across wood tones and muted hues—a haven that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable.

The project is more than just a renovation; it is a story of connection. Two separate units will be thoughtfully joined, not only in structure but in spirit. The design will feature an open layout, soft transitions, and a unified palette, allowing the space to flow seamlessly as a single, harmonious home. At its core lies a desire to blend form and function, with practical layouts that cater to modern urban dwellers—be they young professionals, digital nomads, or returning balikbayans.

Inspired by the Scandinavian aesthetic, the future space will feature pale wood finishes, crisp whites, and tactile accents. It's about balance—simplicity without sterility, elegance without excess.

This isn't just an investment property; it's a reflection of her journey. A place designed to welcome, to calm, and to inspire—much like the woman behind it.
