"I wish I lived here!"
"I want my house to look like this!"
"You really don't feel like you're in Manila! Its so peaceful!"
"I'm obsessed!"
You may as well find yourself saying these things once you find yourself in the midst of this designer's haven. The compound is the brainchild of genius designer Eric Paras. In his world of exquisite taste, everything has its place and everything is beautiful. Whether you are in the market for excellently curated and designed homeware, furniture, and artworks, or simply just looking for better inspiration (exponentially much more than what is offered by the mall-infested cities), A-11 is the perfect place to visit. With each design house reminiscent of what it was all about during the Post-war era, chirping birds (yes, you will hear actual birds and hardly any busses or traffic bustling about), and the cool breeze (yes, again!), you won't feel like you're in the city at all. Its easy pace and laidback setting is basically what slow living is all about.
Insider tip: Watch out for popup events in collaboration with different local designers! Need a place to stay? The new Henry Hotel is located at the entrance of the compound. This magnificent boutique hotel is also designed and furnished by Eric Paras. Plus, the hotel's restaurant is serviced by the Apartment 1B group. read more
