Synopsis
TROPICAL LIVING provides a fascinating and vivid view of the beautiful homes in the Philippines. It examines diverse residential design styles in both the city and in the countryside, in mountains and at sea. From a classic old-world penthouse in the Malate area to an Asian-fusion villa on Batangas Bay, over thirty private homes are showcased and captured in colour photographs taken by noted photographer, Andrew Chester Ong.
