Incanta Cave Bar & Restaurant by NUVION

Founded in 2016 by visionary architect Angelo Blay, NUVION is a premier design and construction firm based in Manila, Philippines. Known for its innovative approach to architecture and interiors, the studio specializes in sculpturally organic, nature-inspired forms that transform spaces into experiential works of art. Merging creativity with craftsmanship, NUVION delivers fully integrated services in interior design, architectural design, construction, and finishing.

A testament to NUVION’s bold design philosophy is INCANTA Cave Bar & Restaurant, which earned the prestigious Luxury Lifestyle Award for Best Luxury Internal Architecture & Design. This immersive project redefines interior environments by drawing inspiration from ancient cave formations, invoking a sense of origin, mystery, and cosmic wonder. Spearheaded by Angelo Blay as the Finishing and Interior Architect, the concept reflects influences from Q’enqo Grande in Peru, the Grand Canyon in the USA, and Animasola Island in the Philippines.

NUVION provided interior design, construction, and finishing services, realizing INCANTA through 100% handcrafted detailing. Eschewing traditional construction norms, the firm embraced imperfections—softened edges, hand-applied textures, and organically curved surfaces—to echo the raw beauty of natural stone. The cave-like walls, symbolic elements like the woman breaking through stone, and celestial accents such as star lights and a sculptural moon offer a deeply immersive, emotional experience.

Every design decision celebrates a return to nature, cultural storytelling, and artisanal excellence. From full-height arched glass windows that merge interior and exterior, to cave walls that defy convention, NUVION’s work on INCANTA highlights the firm’s dedication to meaningful, transformative spaces.

With a growing portfolio of groundbreaking projects, NUVION continues to lead in luxury design and bespoke construction in the Philippines and beyond—crafting architectural experiences that inspire, empower, and endure.
