Noirescape is a private home nesting in a 525 sqm property in a town an hour away from the eastern edge of Metro Manila. The main house is elevated with the garden and glass wrap-around living space being street-level. A black-tiled plunge pool is in front of the main house. The home manager lives in the first floor. On the second floor is the two-bedroom living space with living room, dining and kitchen and bathroom with hot shower. The 1.5 HP aircon cools the entire floor. The top floor is an open roofdeck with two-level living space we call Sky Lounge with its own toilet/shower room and kitchen. The lower level can be an entertainment or sleeping room with 1.5 HP aircon. The upper level is a sleeping room with its own balcony. The glass wrap-around is a self-contained apartment: living room, sleeping room, kitchen, toilet/shower. Just out front is the garden.

Anne is the home manager. She lives with her husband and teenager children. Her boss lives in London and owns the property.
