Quezon City, Philippines – September 24, 2024 – The United Architects of the Philippines (UAP), in collaboration with Häfele Philippines, Bosch Home Appliances, and JKLV, officially unveiled a state-of-the-art kitchen at the UAP National Headquarters located at 53 Sct. Rallos Street, Diliman, Quezon City. This state-of-the-art kitchen is part of the UAP initiative to modernize their current hub under Project Reimagined.

Project Reimagined is one of the many impactful initiatives led by the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP). This project aims to modernize the UAP headquarters, enhancing its functionality to better serve members and partners. It aspires to transform the space into a symbol of Filipino architects’ commitment to excellence, ethical practice, and aesthetic appeal.

The project is part of the branding that the United Architects of the Philippines wants to establish for the future of their organization. The project envisions repurposing the headquarters into a dynamic co-working space that refines its facilities not only for UAP but also for its trade partners

The UAP Reimagined Kitchen project brings together Häfele’s renowned expertise in innovative hardware solutions and kitchen functionality, Bosch’s world-class home appliances, and JKLV’s mastery in interior fit-outs. The modern kitchen now serves as a functional centerpiece within the UAP National Headquarters, embodying the innovative technology and forward-thinking design concepts that architects can integrate into their own projects.

Ar. Donato Magcale, National President of the United Architects of the Philippines, expressed profound gratitude to those behind the UAP Reimagined Project, which led to the renovation and modernization of the UAP National Headquarters. He highlighted that this new state-of-the-art kitchen is a significant milestone for both current and future architects, offering them an inspiring and functional environment that elevates the organization’s commitment to innovation and design excellence

Roland Poehlmann, Managing Director of Häfele Philippines, expressed his pride in being part of this groundbreaking partnership. "It is an honor to collaborate on such a prestigious project," Poehlmann said. "Häfele is committed to delivering the best in modern living solutions, which is why we installed Häfele and Bosch appliances, fittings, and storage solutions in the new UAP kitchen. This kitchen not only showcases the latest in kitchen technology but also reflects a sustainable and innovative approach to enhancing everyday living. Our partnership with Project Reimagined stems from a shared vision of promoting sustainable design and functionality in contemporary spaces. We are proud to be the official distributor of Bosch Home Appliances in the Philippines, and we believe that this collaboration will significantly contribute to redefining modern kitchen experiences

Eric Liew, Key Account Manager of Bosch Home Appliances Philippines, underscored the importance of the collaboration: "This partnership is a testament to the strength of innovation, dedication, and collaboration. The newly constructed kitchen at the UAP National Headquarters is more than a functional space—it represents the fusion of modern design, advanced technology, and practical functionality. We are proud to have worked with the UAP, Häfele Philippines, and JKLV to bring this vision to life.

JKLV President Jarwin Avellana echoed the sentiments of pride and excitement, stating, “We are immensely pleased to be chosen as a partner for this remarkable project. Our collaboration with Häfele Philippines and the UAP on this kitchen installation is a significant milestone for us, and we look forward to many more future opportunities that will allow us to contribute to innovative architectural designs.”

The event was graced by key representatives from the UAP, Häfele Philippines, Bosch, JKLV, and esteemed partners from BusinessWorld and Manila Standard were also present to cover this momentous occasion.

One of the highlights of the event was a live cooking demonstration led by Chef Kevin David; a renowned Filipino culinary expert celebrated for his innovative approach to contemporary cuisine. With a rich background that includes experience at prestigious establishments such as The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges in New York and collaborations with James Beard Award-winning chefs. During the demonstration, he showcased Bosch’s home appliances by preparing gourmet dishes in the newly equipped kitchen. The Bosch Hob allowed for precise temperature control to achieve the perfect steak. The Bosch Oven featured even heat distribution for perfectly caramelized bananas, and the Bosch Coffee Machine provided customizable brew strength for an exquisite cup of coffee, much to the guests' delight.
