At the heart of Makati, just a stroll away from the Weekend organic market in Salcedo Park lies an intriguing boutique/ residences called Picasso. Modern and chic, Picasso was inspired by the painter and visionary it was named after. Cubism is reflected in its clean and stark interiors with bold colors that engage the eyes to appreciate the interplay of art and design that is inherent in each room, door and facade. (Even the room numbers are individually painted on canvas and from the outside you can see the composite painting that is painted on each of the balconies as seen in the first photo.)
Aside from the funky exteriors, the interiors rooms are simply magnificent, modern and minimalistic topped with the most comfortable amenities. Imagine how simply divine it would be to watch reruns in this gigantic room, which i did with my fellow writers! SUCH FUN!!! movie marathon!
Unfortunately i wasn't able to take pictures of the the bathroom. But it was crazy! Completely new jacuzzi with full length mirrors. We were a little bit uneasy at first because i think the room was made for honeymooners, the walls of the bathroom were somewhat translucent so you can faintly see the outline of the person while they're taking a bath. HOW KINKY!
Aside from being a chic home away from home, Picasso is also an art gallery, a venue for art workshops, exhibits and talks. An in-house curator works tirelessly to find invaluable finds and showcase the talent of different Filipino artists. Currently, the walls are adorned with paintings and sculptors from the renowned Kidlat Tahimik. All of which are up for grabs! :D
Next time i will definitely try out their restaurant, interestingly named- BRASSERIE BOHEME which was inspired by the hangouts in Paris during the 1920s... but with a modern twist. They serve a sumptuous mix of French, Continental, Spanish and Filipino cuisine which feature ingredients/products from their own organic farm in Cebu.
Can't wait to try! Wait for my future post!
