MINI LANDSCAPE PROJECT IN OUR HOUSE ON A BUDGET

We wanted to upgrade the small landscape corner located at the back of my dad's working table in our Terrace. But to be honest we really don't have any budget to do some major landscaping design along that area. So my mom and I decided to buy some pebble stones to make the area look a little bit cool and quite different from its old appearance.

The small white pebbles where used as accent design and majority of the stones are from 50 to 100 mm diameters...so that my dog won't play with the big ones...(by the way my dog loves to play with the small stones that's why we bought a lot of the big stones)

Our budget is 1,000.00 Php only (for the stones)


BEFORE:


 
 
AFTER:
 
 I used old bottles for additional accent design
 

 
 

yup that's my chow chow dog...inspecting the new design! hahaha!!
 
 
Just in case we have another budget, my mom and I planned to buy a water feature.. but for now eto muna! at least mas maaliwalas na sya ngayon kaysa dati...sorry for the poor quality of pictures I forgot to use my SLR because of the excitement. hehehe.... 


SA ARKITEKTO SIGURADO

UAP's Sa Arkitekto Sigurado Campaign


Architects are necessary.

Some people choose not to hire an Architect because they perceive it as an additional cost to their construction price. We should dissuade them from this thinking, and explain the fallacy of this idea. In the long run, it is truly more cost effective to have an Architect on board from conceptualization.

Some resort to other Professionals who are not Registered Licensed Architects to design their structure. Though this may be functional, not every aspect of the design process has been undergone, and may result in an inefficient structure. Furthermore, the aesthetic quality will definitely be lacking, since Art is not a major part in their curriculum.

Hiring a Registered Licensed Architect is a requirement by law, but more importantly, Functionality, Accessibility, and Safety are assured.

Hiring an Architect is a necessity, not a luxury. It is more cost-effective to hire an Architect, a professional you can trust.

---SULIT.

To embody these three tenets, we may adhere to this one statement:
Architects design well-planned buildings and structures that elevate the quality of life.

---SIGURADO.

Sa Arkitekto, SIGURADO!

my thoughts:

Thank you very much UAP for doing this!...I have heard a lot of cases that some clients encounter the malpractice of design and construction...not knowing that they had spent more money and poor quality of materials by not hiring an Architect for the design.

Again Guys you should hire Licensed Architects in designing your future residence or building because we truly know how to execute the right design solution and good quality of materials, not to mention the right budget for your own needs!

I support this campaign all the way!!!
