  I grew up spending summer at this beautiful place when my dad worked for PPC. Anybody know the architect of the original design? They have added a lot since I last saw it. The two structures to the east and south are new and were made for the Dutch engineers that were assigned to oversee their Filipino counterparts on behalf of Royal Dutch Shell. The kidney shaped pool was also an addition. That area used to be a tropical garden. The original design was brilliant and unique. It was a shame when they started modifying it without paying attention to the style of the original.
