The concepts of L. V. Locsin Partners seek inspiration from a marriage between Japanese design sensibilities and the essential responses of tropical Philippine architecture to climate and context, creating a unique sense of place, calm, and well-being.

TOEI houses aim to marry the Filipino concept of “maaliwalas” (spacious, open, and uncluttered) with the efficiency of Japanese spatial concepts. The house exteriors are designed to exude refreshing energy that potential residents can immediately appreciate.
