Architect
As the son of Philippine National Artist for Architecture Pablo Antonio, Ramon Antonio has that particular talent running in his veins. The younger Antonio followed in his father’s footsteps to become an architect himself and is now one of the most sought-after architects in the upper echelons of Philippine society.
Known for his eclectic personal style, Antonio knows how to artfully juxtapose Asian elements with a more austere European sensibility. It’s in this way that he has defined the modern Asian-tropical home—taking inspiration from different corners of the world and finding ways to incorporate them into a clean, practical, sensible structure. He also emphasises the importance of plants and gardens in homes, frequently embracing nature in his designs.
Today, Antonio’s work can be found in many of the Philippines’ most exclusive enclaves, from Forbes Park to Ayala Alabang. The unique quality of his designs and eye for perfection has made him one of the most popular and in-demand architects today.
