Set at the foot of Mt. Banahaw in Nagcarlan, Laguna is landscape artist and painter Ponce Veridiano's home and gallery he calls the Tauhai Villa. The home is built on a steep terrain by a stream, surrounded by foliage. Veridiano was inspired by architects Tadao Ando and Frank Lloyd Wright when building this structure. Veridiano allows plants to be wild - trees cling on to the stone walls, the aerial roots of the Monstera plants crawl over the walls, vines dangle above windows.

The home also functions as Studio 88, a gallery that exhibits Veridiano's works of art. Only starting during the pandemic, Veridiano's early pieces were charcoal drawings of still life and now have evolved to colorful splashes of abstract paintings.
