Real Living Space 2015: The Ultimate Shopping and Design Show House Event

Last September 24, 2015, I went to Real Living Space, the ultimate shopping and design show house event at the Avida Towers Centera showroom in Mandaluyong City where I had the opportunity to see upfront five styled spaces by different designers.

Real Living 6The country’s best-selling magazine, Real Living, partnered with premier land developer, Avida Land Corp, to bring the pages of the magazine to life.

Real Living’s Editor-in-Chief Rachelle Medina and Associate Publisher Tom Castañeda joined Avida Land’s Head of Corporate Marketing Tess Tatco as they welcomed members of the architecture and design community and members of the media at the exclusive RL Space launch.

“Avida and Real Living share the same objective of helping Filipinos achieve their dream home. Who better to partner with in this pursuit than the Philippines’ best-selling home magazine and the ultimate consultant when it comes to home design?” says Tess Tatco.

11 of the best burgeoning and veteran designers, architects and stylists in Metro Manila created five inspired and beautiful spaces at Avida Towers Centera’s showroom making this years event the biggest Real Living Space to date. Each designer had a living space and a client profile that they worked with to craft their space.
