Philippine Chancery

Renovating a building constructed nearly a century earlier required the team to respond quickly as concealed conditions became visible. LT worked closely with the contractor to update the design while preserving the project’s overall goals and maintaining progress during construction.

For the reception hall, LT opened the space and introduced a new lighting approach using energy-efficient LED fixtures and elegant feature lighting. Revised finishes, new furniture, and artwork provided by the Philippine government completed the transformation into a bright and welcoming diplomatic space.

The renovated reception hall was officially opened by outgoing Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario in February 2016, establishing the renewed Chancery as an important asset for the Embassy and the Philippine community.
