The TV host's life as a modern masterpiece

For a minute, it was like visiting an art gallery in New York or Singapore.

With its clean lines and ultra-modern design aesthetic, the Quezon City home of GMA 7 reporter Jay Taruc could pass for a cutting-edge gallery of contemporary art—a museum that embraces all kinds of artworks and artists.

Here, even the risqué and irreverent, like the controversial “Poleteismo” pack, will be celebrated, not shunned.

Jay opens the door—a huge and heavy metal jigsaw door designed by artist Reg Yuson—to Living Stars one frenzied Monday afternoon. “This door weighs 700 kilos,” says Jay.

Despite the hustle and bustle of daily life, the two-story house exudes a laid-back ambience.

Jay relates that he and his dentist-wife, June, collaborated with friend, architect Jason Co, for three years to perfect the look.

“We often met over drinks and exchanged design books,” Jay recalls. “We didn’t start construction until we had finalized all the plans. We wanted to be sure we wouldn’t make costly mistakes.”

They broke ground on the 600-sq. m. property in 2008. A year and two months later, on Dec. 4, 2009, they moved in. This holiday season, the Tarucs, with son Luis, 8, and daughter Sofia, 2, will celebrate their third Christmas here.

Jay says their architect “understood” what he and his wife wanted from the start: “Our favorite architect is American Richard Meier. Jason immediately got our design aesthetic: modern industrial, with an unfinished and yet polished look. It combines form and function. Very practical.”

Minimalism

With help from June and Jason, Jay took charge of the interior decoration. He says that they saved a lot by reusing furniture (chairs, the leather strip-shag rug and glass center table on wheels) from their old condo unit.

Jay leans toward minimalism but more than makes up for it with the artworks. In the living room, there’s a bust of “Mickey Mao,” by American artist Frank Kozik.
