He went on: "Across it will be this gym and we will have an extra stockroom as well. So for those who are building houses, one of the biggest suggestions that I can give you is whatever you think your stock room needs are, double or triple it. Dadami at dadami talaga the longer you are in that house especially when you have kids."

"This project has been one of the most stressful things I have ever done. Not only because we were trying to do something different and architecturally challenging, but also because we planned on finishing it as fast as possible. (We planned on completing it in 7 months, but we moved in at 9 months). Still not 100% complete but happy to call this place home," Slater posted back in 2019 on social media upon moving into Skypod.

On what he thinks made their project stand out, he replied: "I am guessing here, I think it's because we stayed true to our roots and we stayed honest to the design na okay this is going to be fully Filipino, the aesthetic is fully Filipino, and we were able to solve a problem uniquely. We are not the first one to do this but we are able to execute in a way that we can say that it is uniquely ours. I think that's what resonate with me personally.
