It is said that this house costs around PHP 800,000 (at Philippine Peso). The house took about a month and a half to build. Everything including furniture, design, interiors, and the like, cost about 1.6 M PHP. This is also followed by Mrs. MJ. Loleng's smart purchase, where she was able to get her dream furniture at an affordable price.


Favorite interior design from learning outcomes


The interior design takes a minimalist approach. It was influenced by the clean and functional style of the Japanese house, as well as the result of learning the minimalist lifestyle from books.

Self-taught, Mrs. MJ. Loleng learned about color, lighting, and space arrangement to get the desired living space. For example, this living room uses a small-sized sofa to get more space for family members to bond.

Granite is more visually appealing and easier to clean. All utensils and kitchen appliances are easily accessible. The movement is minimalist to make cooking more enjoyable and efficient.


Add life with plants


This house does not only have necessary furniture. The friendly owner has also added some lively decor.  Monstera plants in pots were chosen to fill corners and display racks, adding life to the interior.
