The article, “A Natural High. Vertical Garden Living at the Heart of Ayala Centre”, was published in the Travel Life Magazine, February / March issue 2013. AYALA Land Premier, kindly gave me a tour of the marketing suite, for the Crone Partners designed, Garden Towers, last week in Makati. Currently 50% of apartments are sold in tower 1, with the expectation of 70% to be sold by October this year. Preparation of marketing material for tower 2 is well underway and we hope Ayala Land Premier, will again request additional works on the Design Development Stage, as provided for tower 1. Fingers crossed.

Most popular to sell, have been the 2 and 3 bedroom apartments.

Special features of the design, include a garden lobby that connects the towers at the Porte Corche drop-off. An internal private garden for residents, connects the site to the Glorietta Shopping precinct and Palm Promenade dining strip. Sky gardens are located at every fourth level of the tower, providing framed vistas from corridor spaces and areas of respite for residents in a garden environment. Sun Rooms are a feature of the apartments, allowing balconies to be extensions of the living spaces, throughout the year.

This photograph was taken earlier this year. Crone Partners designed the building in 2006 and the first tower was completed in 2012. A relatively long construction process by Australian standards with the first tower taking 5 years to construct. Our role was to provide Concept Master Plan and Schematic Design services for a twin tower residential project for Ayala Land Premier. The site is located in Fort Bonifacio Global City, Makati, Philippines.

It was an extremely rare blue sky day in Manila. Typically hazy with smog. Perfect for taking a photograph. Unfortunately my thumb got in the way of a really good photograph. 🙂
