Arch. Onet Limchoc and His Collection

A Life Shaped Around Construction

For Arch. Onet, construction sites were never just places of work, they were his playground.

Growing up around them and tagging along with his father early on exposed him to both the creative and practical sides of architecture: the dust, the noise, the decisions, and the responsibility of building something real.

Those early experiences shaped how he sees design today.

For him, architecture was never just about how things look, but how they work. Every line carries weight. Every decision has consequence. From his father, he learned craftsmanship, and the importance of doing things right the first time.

This became the foundation of his philosophy: design should be honest, functional, and built with intention, not just imagined, but executed well.

Designing with Purpose

His process begins with people.

Before form or style, he focuses on how his clients live, translating that into spaces where flow, light, and proportion come first. Aesthetics follow naturally.

The result is a home that feels simple, effortless, and deeply personal.

An Eye for Meaningful Icons

That same mindset carries into how he collects.

For him, it is never about owning more, but about owning with meaning. Whether it is a chair, an art toy, or a LEGO piece, each object represents a story.

It is where every piece holds a deeper meaning, not just to be owned, but to be kept.

Living with CWC Classics

Some of his most valued pieces come from CWC, including the Eames Lounge Chair and La Chaise. But their meaning goes far beyond their status. What makes them truly special is a personal moment, when Eames Demetrios visited his home and signed them.

From that point on, they became more than icons. They became part of his story.
