Projects
”Together, we create spaces that tell stories worth living in.”
ReCreativity thrives in partnership. Working hand in hand with architects and interior designers, we weave driftwood and second-life materials into spaces that feel alive with story and spirit. From luxury hotels and tranquil spas to statement public spaces and intimate homes, our creations don’t just complete a room - they spark conversation, memory, and connection. Every collaboration is a shared journey: where vision meets craft, and where imagination becomes place.
Maayo Hotel Cebu, Philippines
In 2018, James Doran-Webb and the ReCreativity team were invited to reimagine the lobby of Cebu’s Maayo Hotel. Rising seven meters high, a sculpted tree took form from long-dead wood, reclaimed stainless steel, and recycled blown glass - a living monument to nature reborn. Alongside it, a waterfall of natural stone reinforced with recycled steel, and a flock of origami birds crafted from recycled sheet metal, brought movement and spirit into the space. Together, these three sculptural elements softened the industrial lines of the interior, transforming the seventh-floor lobby into a sanctuary where nature and design meet.
Northern Cebu Beach Villas & Bahay Kubo, Philippines
In 2013, James Doran-Webb and the ReCreativity team brought their craft to the interiors of Beach Villas and Bahay Kubo, an exclusive resort in Northern Cebu. Every detail was considered: Capiz shell lighting and windows reflected the coastal light, goatskin bar stools introduced organic texture, and bespoke furniture made from reclaimed wood grounded each space with warmth and integrity. Designed entirely from sustainable byproducts and natural materials, the interiors echo the rhythm of the surrounding shoreline - refined yet rooted, luxurious yet intimately connected to nature. The combination of local craftsmanship, recycled materials, and thoughtful design created a sense of place that is both authentic to Cebu and timeless in appeal, offering guests an immersive experience that feels personal, relaxed, and distinctly coastal.
Mandani Bay Cebu, Philippines
Mandani Bay, a jewel of a development along the bustling coastline of Metro Mandaue, Cebu, comprises over 20 exquisitely designed high-rises that define the city’s modern skyline. In 2021, the developers invited James Doran-Webb to bring his distinctive touch to the corporate headquarters, focusing on the lounge area in the main foyer. Tasked with creating a space that balanced elegance with welcoming functionality, the design subtly reflects the sophistication of the larger development while offering visitors a calm, refined introduction to the Mandani Bay experience. Through careful consideration of materials, textures, and atmosphere, the lounge became more than just a waiting area - it became a quiet, refined statement of the development’s commitment to quality, style, and contemporary coastal living.
