Lior and Kathleen Liechtenstein were looking for an alternative to their small island in Palawan because “it was too involved to prepare going there and we thought to bring the sea nearer to us,” shares Kathleen when asked how and why they began conceptualizing their Punta Fuego home in Nasugbu, Batangas. Construction began in 2015 and the house was completed in 2017. The concept and theme was simply, “To see, to feel the sea! For the sea to surround us,” Kathleen explained. Together with her husband, they decided on a modern and minimalist design.
