Aljur’s three-storey townhouse stands out—as beyond the striking red gate is an inviting industrial-inspired haven completed with wooden elements, exposed bricks and piping, bold colors, and works of art.
The home, which has a very bachelor’s pad feel, was designed by Aljur’s good friend, screenwriter-director Richard V. Somes who is also a production designer and an art director.
After the birth of Alas Joaquin, his son with actress Kylie Padilla, Aljur plans to work on a few adjustments in the space while still maintaining its original vibe.
“Tapos makahanap na lang ng ibang place para sa bata. Pero for now, siymepre babaguhin muna namin…Si Kylie naman bahala magde-design,” he shares.
Though there are no decor and accessories in the space, the bricks and bold hue are enough to liven up the space.
“Eto ‘yong mga kainan ng mga blue-collar na mabilisan ang trabaho, mga construction workers sa States, ganyan…Hindi ko talaga siya plano na magkaron ng, alam mo ‘yon, ng tatambay,” Aljur said.
One wall showcases an unfinished mural done by Kylie. The actress chose to paint nude forms after Aljur gave her the freedom to work on the wall art.
“Sinabi ko sa kanya na ‘Gusto kong magkaroon ka ng touch sa bahay. Basta mag-paint ka.’ Artist si Kylie, e. Si Kylie, yes mahilig mag-drawing ‘yan ng images, depends on how she feels,” shares Aljur.
Aljur Abrenica is more than happy that his son Alas Joaquin has finally met his grandfather. In an interview he said, “Lahat ng makakabuti para kay Alas, ‘yun ang gagawin ko.”
