Residences planned for the first residential building
Japanese ingenuity, adapted for Manila
Luxury that earns its place.
Here, refinement is not just marble and mood lighting. It is a clean genkan at the door, storage that adapts, a co-working room when home needs to become an office, and a landscape that gives daily life space to unfold.
01 · Nature-oriented
Green, open and indoor-outdoor spaces shape the daily experience.
02 · Human-centric
Practical details support different routines, ages, and life stages.
03 · Collaborative
Filipino context meets Japanese planning, design, and service thinking.
Useful luxury
Designed around real life.
The project brief describes a home environment built around storage, flexibility, wellness, and everyday convenience—not spectacle for its own sake.
01
A calmer arrival
Genkan-inspired entry storage separates outdoor items from the living space and helps keep the first view of home composed.
02
Storage that changes
Adjustable kitchen shelving, modular closets, a mobile counter, and pull-out panels support changing routines without wasting space.
03
City energy, garden pace
Raised podium spaces, a river edge, and open areas are planned to bring breezes, skyline outlooks, and a softer rhythm into urban life.
A journey across Japan
Space for every version of the day.
The amenity program moves from quiet focus to family time, fitness, social gatherings, and the pleasure of being outdoors.
