Restaurant interiors have the power to control the dining atmosphere. From the moment a diner steps through the door, each detail shapes how a meal is experienced. Restaurant design has evolved over time, with architects and culinary professionals collaborating to create built spaces that are as intentional as the menu itself.
In this episode of BP Design Narratives, BluPrint explores M Residences Katipunan, where modern brutalist design meets everyday living.
Victor Consunji, CEO of Victor Consunji Development Corporation (VCDC), takes us through the Aerin, Elise, and Kiara townhouses, offering a closer look at how each is designed.
The design, developed in collaboration with Archion Architects, follows a modern brutalist approach, favoring honest materials, durability, and climate responsiveness.
At a time when housing is often defined by trends and features, M Residences returns to the essentials: spaces that are practical, adaptable, and designed to grow with families over time.

Tropical architecture is a climate-responsive design approach that adapts to local contexts. In the Philippines, this means designing homes that respond to the heat and humidity through features like passive cooling and natural ventilation. BluPrint highlights several residential projects that demonstrate the role of tropical architecture in the country’s built environment.
