EFFES Signature

From a humble neighborhood barbershop in Calulut to the very heart of Pampanga’s commercial core— Dugout Premier Barber+Salon stands as a bold evolution of a brand built through grit, community, and authenticity.✂️🩶
Wrapped in raw cement textures, warm leather tones, and quiet minimalist luxury, the space was designed not just for grooming, but for escape— a modern urban hideout where confidence, comfort, and self-care coexist.✨
More than a barbershop, Dugout becomes a destination to hang out, slow down, and walk back into the city sharper than before.

A bold new chapter unfolds with this new project— a restaurant conceived not only to serve authentic Thai cuisine, but to translate the vibrant pulse of Bangkok into a spatial experience.🇹🇭✨

Rooted in the festive energy of Thai street culture, the project was envisioned as a place where architecture, color, and atmosphere become part of the dining ritual itself. Every corner was imagined to evoke the lively markets and night streets of Thailand—layered, expressive, and full of character.

More than a restaurant, BK is a destination shaped by culture, storytelling, and the joy of gathering around the table.

A new flavor of place begins here.

Cafe 101 Elite is the refined evolution of a brand rooted in simplicity—transforming a practical coffee concept into a full-service café and dining destination. Inspired by Nordic and Japandi design principles, the space is defined by soft whites, warm wood tones, natural stone, and layered textures—echoing the familiar comfort of coffee, milk, and sugar.
The architecture embraces clean, box-like forms softened by curves and arches, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels modern yet relaxed. Inside, varied seating—from dining tables and booths to lounge sofas—invites guests to stay longer, gather freely, and enjoy coffee beyond the cup.🥤
Rich in texture and guided by gentle, cloud-like lighting, Cafe 101 Elite offers a calm, resort-inspired ambiance—an experience that feels both elevated and effortless. Here, coffee is no longer just a pause between errands, but a moment worth lingering in.🍽️
