Most people think an architect has only one role in a construction project.

Not always. 😊

The Architect of Record (AOR) and the Architect-in-Charge of Construction (AIC) have different roles and responsibilities.

But here's something many people don't know: they don't always have to be two different architects.

One architect can perform both roles, provided they are also involved in the implementation and construction phase of the project.

Watch the video to learn the difference between AOR and AIC.

Every project begins with a dream.

The name rêve, the French word for "dream," became the guiding idea behind this project. It wasn't simply about designing a coffee shop... it was about giving form to a young entrepreneur's vision.

The design was conceived around a modern industrial minimalist language, where clean geometry, a restrained material palette, warm lighting, and purposeful details work together to create an inviting environment.

Beyond the architecture and interior, we developed a cohesive identity where space and branding speak the same language. From the logo and signage to the interior finishes and customer experience, every element was envisioned as part of one story.

This video presents the approved architectural and interior design concept that is currently taking shape on site. While construction is still underway, the vision remains constant... to transform a dream into a place where people can gather, connect, and create their own stories over coffee.

Because every meaningful space begins with a dream.

Project: rêve coffee
Scope: Architecture • Interior Design • Brand Identity
Status: Under Construction

These are the kinds of news na talagang nightmare para sa amin.

As someone working in the construction industry, sobrang bigat makakita ng ganitong incident.

Because this is never just about buildings.

Buildings carry people’s lives, safety, dreams, investments, and trust.

And moments like this remind us of the weight of responsibility behind every drawing, computation, inspection, coordination, and site decision.

This is what we fear in construction.

Not because of damaged structures…
but because lives are involved.

I also hope we avoid turning situations like this into online blame games between professionals habang ongoing pa ang investigations.

This is the time for accountability, learning, professionalism, and compassion.

I hope we continue to push for safer practices, proper planning, better coordination, and responsible construction.

Praying for the victims, the families, the workers, rescuers, and everyone affected.

Because at the end of the day, buildings carry lives.

I’m Architect Gail of CZ Architects… and let’s continue to DESIGN SMART and BUILD RIGHT.

Is a prefab container house actually practical in Baguio? 🤔

Cooler climates can help reduce heat buildup inside container homes…

but moisture, condensation, ventilation, waterproofing, and slope conditions also become major factors to consider.

Because good architecture is not just about aesthetics.
It should also perform well and last over time 😊

Ikaw? Would you actually live in a container house in Baguio?

“Architect, bakit laging may open space sa designs mo?”

Because good architecture is not only about maximizing space.

It’s about creating spaces people genuinely feel good in.

In a time where developments are becoming denser, faster, and more enclosed, I believe architecture should still leave room for light, air, nature, and pause.

A well designed open space can completely change how a building feels.

It softens the atmosphere.
Improves natural ventilation.
Brings in daylight.
Creates a stronger connection between people and the environment around them.

Whether it’s a residence, workspace, hospitality project, or healthcare facility, the experience of the space matters just as much as the floor area itself.

Sometimes, the most valuable part of a building…
is the space that allows it to breathe.

Kayo ba?
Would you trade a little floor area for better light and airflow? 😊

Not all “wow” designs age well.

As architects, one thing we always think about is:

👉 “Maganda pa kaya ito after 5–10 years?”

Because trends come and go… but timeless spaces usually stay balanced, intentional, and simple.

In this reel, I shared 5 design trends that might look outdated in the future...

from overly complicated ceilings to excessive LED strip lights and too many feature walls.

Sometimes, less really does age better. ✨

So which trend do you think will fade the fastest? 👀
Comment your below...

And if you want a home that still feels timeless & elegant, years from now... send us a message and...

People often ask me why there are so many Pomeranians in my architectural contents. 🐾🤍

Truth is… they’ve been part of my everyday life long before CZ Architects even existed.

There was Madam Pudsey first, my baby since my Singapore days. Then somewhere along the journey of building the firm, our growing little Pom family slowly became part of the story too.

Cholo & Zac
Chelsea & Zebby
Choobee & Zachee

They’ve been around during revisions, meetings, stressful deadlines, construction talks, and even the quiet work days in the office.

Maybe that’s why Pomeranians naturally became part of my content and branding too… because behind the architecture, there were always little paws beside me through every phase of the journey.

Happy Mother’s Day to all furmoms. 🤍

Contractor vs Architect vs Design + Build…
may pagkakaiba nga ba? 👀

At first glance, they may sound similar but the process, direction, and outcome can be very different.

In this reel, I explained:
✔ how contractor led projects usually work
✔ the role of architects in the design process
✔ and why Design + Build creates a more coordinated workflow from start to finish.

Because building a house isn’t just about finishing construction.

It’s about building with clarity, coordination, and proper direction from the very beginning.

The setup you choose can affect:
• communication
• budget control
• project coordination
• and overall build quality

If you’re planning to build your future home, this is something every homeowner should understand first.

Most people see paint as the final layer.
But in reality, it is where design is either elevated or compromised.

We joined Sinclair’s decorative paint training and brought our painters with us,
because the quality of a finish depends not just on the material, but on the hands that apply it.

From surface preparation to application techniques,
every detail matters.

This is how we ensure that what we design
is executed the way it was meant to be.

Because good design does not stop at drawings,
it shows in the finish.
