Images of a beautiful modern home featuring high ceilings, generous use of wood and glass, and exquisite lighting have been doing the rounds of the Internet recently, featured on such sites as pinoytrendingnews.com and antipolitics.apphb.com.
Here’s the clincher: The house, according to the accompanying text, was featured on the alleged website of TELCS Lighting Design and Consultancy, with addresses on Lockhart Road, Hong Kong, and Alabang-Zapote Road in Muntinlupa, and was reported to belong to “politician couple” Luis and Abigail Binay-Campos.
The images have since been removed from the website, but not before netizens managed to save them, of course. A meme has already circulated, featuring the words “Bahay Binay: Mamatay kayo sa inggit.”
The images show several angles of the home, featuring sleek lines, neutral colors and a number of artworks.
It was described as a 375-square-meter, two-story “modern-contemporary inspired design residence,” located in San Lorenzo Village, Makati City, with a high-ceiling living room and a mezzanine.
The images show a truly stylish home, with well-selected artworks.
TELCS described using “custom-made suspended fixtures… for a more cozy effect.” Other devices used were “track lighting to achieve a flexible high-lighting of the big paintings and a welcoming art piece,” a slab ceiling to conceal wiring, and Eltako, a state-of-the-art wireless remote dimming system.
The house was also described as “a private art gallery,” thus the “lighting masterpiece of the fine-tuned interior.”
For the very high-ceiling living room, droplights, ceiling lights, wallwashers and tracklights were used, enough to create “a soft glow for a romantic evening.”
Limited-edition droplights by designer Kenneth Cobonpue were also mentioned as a design highlight.
In itself, there’s no denying that the house is a tastefully done design marvel—whoever it belongs to.
