INTERIOR DESIGNER, VIANCA SOLEIL

Having grown up in Manila and lived in Dubai, it was the ocean and a desire for a slower pace that pulled interior designer Vianca Soleil Roquero back home to the Philippines. Just over a year ago, Vianca moved to Puro Island, an untouched paradise in the province of Romblon, characterized by white sand, palm trees and wild mangroves. Vianca and her family are building their beach home Unna, which as her designs continue to evolve, will become a small eco-resort that is already on our travel wish list. As admirers of her journey and her impeccable creative eye, we are excited to share our inspiring conversation with Vianca about the transition from city life to island living, how nature inspires her work, the inspiration behind her vision for Unna and more.
