The site located at the major gate way to the new Fort Bonifacio Global City from the Makati commercial center in Metro Manila. This prime location and address affords spectacular views over the American Memorial Gardens to Laguna DeBay to the south east and over Manila Golf Course and Forbes Park to Makati and Manila Bay to the west. The design of the tower is faceted in form and the apartments are arranged to provide complete privacy between each other while allowing full advantage to be taken of both the immediate and long distance views.
The plan form also incorporates corner windows for all living areas and bedrooms to enjoy natural ventilation and enable 270 degree views throughout. The interiors will be further advantaged by almost full height window walls, which have green tinted glazing rather than reflective glass, to allow enjoyment of the outlook during the daytime and of the city lights in the evening.
The form of the tower has been derived from a rigorous analysis of how to best take advantage of the views while providing maximum privacy, and addressing concerns for an energy efficient design that recognises the hot humid tropical environment, the distinct Filipino lifestyle, and a concern for ensuring low lifecycle and maintenance costs for the residents. The design was also developed in detail in accordance with the advice and principles of a Feng Shui consultant which particularly affected the orientation, shape and external finish.
The residential floors are placed on a raised podium with the ground floor lobby and basement carparks beneath. The raised podium floor is finished as a landscape stone base to the tower and provides an extensive and rich variety of garden spaces, including a large swimming pool and places of contemplation.
