Last Sunday was supposed to be a quick stroll around Ayala Malls Feliz. But a few steps later, I found myself wandering into something far more thrilling — the brand-new showroom of Lykke Kondo.

I didn’t expect much at first. Maybe a quick peek, a few polite nods, and back to my weekend plans. But the moment I stepped inside their studio and one-bedroom model units, I realized this wasn’t going to be a five-minute visit.

The kitchen stopped me in my tracks.

I’m talking about a premium synthetic granite countertop so sleek it almost dares you to cook without making a mess. And right there in the middle — a deep, square, dark-toned sink that looked less like a utility and more like something out of a luxury design magazine. The designer faucet? Let’s just say I wouldn’t mind washing dishes here every night.

Overhead, waterproof cabinets stood ready to swallow up every pot, plate, and pantry item, while more storage hid under the sink. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, I spotted a washing machine slot built right into the layout. Practicality: 10/10.

Then came the surprises: an induction cooktop (yes, included — and no, you won’t find that with every developer) and a restaurant-style range hood that practically whispered, “Let’s make pasta tonight.” Even the fridge space was thoughtfully placed, right next to the sink, like the kitchen was designed by someone who actually cooks.

I didn’t even get to the bathroom yet — that’s a whole other story for my next visit.

But here’s the thing: when you see this kind of smart, premium setup in person, it changes the way you think about condo living. It’s not just about square meters anymore. It’s about how every inch works for you.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a condo kitchen could actually inspire you to want to stay home and cook, Lykke Kondo just proved it’s possible.
