Tuba, Benguet. Philippines

an upgrade on the stairway and interior garden
the handrail originally is planned to be a tanguile but fortunately I was able to acquire pinewood from a fallen tree around our area after a typhoon prior to starting this project,
the plants were carefully selected and propagated around 2-3 months due to limited budget for the project. other elements in the garden are simply antique artifacts scattered around the residence. the paintings are by my father Roberto c. Astudillo a known local baguio artist
