Their formula for longevity may well lie in their mutually beneficial collaborations with partners and stakeholders.

Do it with Wilcon: Inside the pages
For enthusiasts of architecture, design, and lifestyle, this magazine is a gateway into the minds of those who shape the spaces we live in. It invites readers to explore the philosophies, principles, and personal stories of the industry’s best.
Take, for instance, the home of Michelle Marie Concepcion Reyes, where every corner tells a story of family bonds. Her space isn’t just about aesthetics, but also about creating a living environment that reflects the strength of familial relationships. This narrative of love and connection is woven throughout the home, showcasing how design can mirror the values that hold a family together.
Similarly, the magazine digs into the architectural approach of Arch. Cathy Saldaña, President and CEO of PDP+ Architecture. Her philosophy revolves around the idea that what isn’t filled is just as important as what is. Architect Cathy’s home becomes a sanctuary where balance and harmony reign, with spaces and elements carefully curated. She also shares how Wilcon helps her in working wonders in the space of her clients like Mr. Puey Quiñones, a Filipino fashion designer who alternates between Manila and Los Angeles, California.
Then there's iDr. Mike Suqui, an interior design educator from the University of Santo Tomas, whose home serves as a testament to the belief that every detail matters. His approach to design emphasizes the importance of enhancing a space's value—both in terms of its monetary worth and its impact on daily life. His home is not just a place to live but a canvas that reflects his passion for elevating design.
"Do it with Wilcon" is an invitation to rethink what the term “home” means. With expert tips from these industry leaders, the book serves as an inspiration and a practical tool for anyone looking to embark on a home improvement journey.
