Foodies, art enthusiasts, and gamers—this new hangout space in the EAST has something for everyone.

For the Art Squads: The Glow-Up by Kiefsix

Increasing the element of coolness?  Kiefsix (Kiefer Indiongco), an illustrator and creative director based in Manila, created enormous, vibrant murals on bare walls.  His daring, basketball-inspired designs transform the East Wing into an open gallery that doubles as a hangout and an art crawl.  Additionally, guests are given a playful tour of the area by EYO, a colorful, sun-inspired figure created by Kiefsix that is constantly Instagram-friendly and ready for selfies.
