As a designer, my goal has always been to deeply immerse myself in and extract the distinct cultural elements of each locale to infuse them into our designs. This is why we emphasize the importance of fully understanding local culture before embarking on any design project.<\/p>\n\n<p>Take, for instance, Shibuya PARCO in Tokyo,  one of the iconic projects during my tenure in the former international architectural firm. Faced with a compact site and a need for expansive commercial space, we drew inspiration from the adjacent park, Tokyo&#8217;s urban oasis. The spiraling fa\u00e7ade with an outdoor ramp blends shopping with nature&#8217;s views, turning a routine mall visit into an immersive experience.<\/p>\n \n<p>Now, at CAN, our design team, with its extensive international experience, brings a wealth of knowledge and a broad perspective to every project. Balancing our global experience with local understanding is key. Each project is a unique narrative, deeply rooted in its cultural context. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-650b8630 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"650b8630\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-58c7c7ba\" data-id=\"58c7c7ba\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b3d8bd6 elementor--h-position-center elementor--v-position-middle elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"7b3d8bd6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:3000,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper-container\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"fadeInUp\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-1a25f41 swiper-slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-65d7c2e5 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"65d7c2e5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-23b58166\" data-id=\"23b58166\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24ec787 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"24ec787\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Q: In terms of retail trends, particularly in the Philippines and India, how have you observed their evolution, and what impact has this had on your design approach in these markets?<\/p><\/b>\n\n<p>SC: The retail landscape in both the Philippines and India has undergone significant evolution, reflecting the unique socio-economic dynamics of each region.

A notable project is the Oberoi SKY CITY in India, scheduled for completion in Q4 2024. This project introduces an ultra-modern mall, the first of its kind in Borivali, India. It aims to provide a world-class living experience where residents can mingle within a discerning community and immerse themselves in the finest luxury. The six-story retail mall serves as the centerpiece of this integrated mixed-use development, which spans a 25-acre land parcel and includes residential towers, a shopping mall, and a five-star hotel.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the Philippines, we have several significant projects underway in Metro Manila, Cavite, and Davao. Spanning various sectors and disciplines, CAN has been appointed to deliver the master planning and branding design for a mixed-use development in Pasig, covering offices, residences, hotels, and retail. We are also the interior designers for an extensive retail renovation in Quezon City and are overseeing a new lifestyle mall project in Cavite. In Davao, CAN will provide the architectural and interior design for the expansion of a premier shopping hub.<\/p>\n\n<p>And we are excited to expand into the East Africa market, responsible for a retail mall extension for a leading real estate company in the region. We look forward to sharing more details in the future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f31d8ba elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2f31d8ba\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-236b8d98\" data-id=\"236b8d98\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46fe13a elementor--h-position-center elementor--v-position-middle elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"46fe13a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:3000,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper-container\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-1a25f41 swiper-slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-136dd99 swiper-slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Previous<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d5e1743 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d5e1743\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-606b5cdc\" data-id=\"606b5cdc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f024b8c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1f024b8c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Q: Can you share any insights into CAN&#8217;s future expansion plans in the region?<\/p><\/b>\n\n<p>Stephen: Looking ahead, we are enthusiastic about the array of projects we have lined up in Southeast Asia, with several key developments slated for completion in 2024.
