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. 🙂
