Nature amid vertical living

Today’s trying times are forcing more and more residential buyers to choose the practicality of condominium living over the expansive living spaces of a house and lot. But opting to live in a vertical community should not mean settling for an uninviting, cluttered residence devoid of fauna-rich open areas.

Redefining living with its first vertical project located at the boundary of bustling Sucat and thriving city of Taguig, the country’s biggest homebuilder Crown Asia presents luxurious yet sensible residential options with a neighborhood composed of 16 towers interplaying in height and size, Presidio at Brittany Bay. Standing out from Presidio’s vertical community of low- and mid-rise towers is the garden condo residence — Picasso Tower.

The Picasso is distinguished from the many towers with distinct structure and features, while Presidio’s main San Francisco theme and meticulous layout brings together the 6.8-hectare self contained multi-level hub by the bay.

Inspired by San Francisco’s neo-Victorian style, renowned architectural duo of Recio+Casas designed the Picasso and the rest of the towers. Details such as the famous bay windows, balconies, towers, along with stunning gable turrets, shingled roofs, and intricate latticework found their way into the design.

Incorporating nature into the layout of the Picasso garden condo residence resulted in expansive landscaped surroundings, a luxurious feature that draws it apart from the usual space-deprived condominiums spread around the metro. Throughout the grounds of Presidio, existing fauna is enhanced with carefully planned landscaping to bring about the feel of being in San Francisco. Highlights of the Picasso include walkways left open to cool air while surrounded by lush greens.

Possessing a unique structure, the y-shaped configuration of the Picasso Tower is a fresh alternative from the conventional block shaped condominiums which congests as much tenants into each floor. At Picasso, a maximum of only five units will be allowed for each wing, providing privacy and generous breathing room for its residents. The three-winged seven-storey structure of Picasso combines aesthetics with function since each unit is granted a view of quaint gardens surrounding the tower or the Sierra Madre Mountains and the glistening waters of Laguna de Bay; while allowing the breeze from the bay and natural lighting into each residence.

The units available at the Picasso cater to the unique needs of each individual and family:

• 1-bedroom unit — Perfect for independent singles and young couples, the 39 sq.m. residence is thoughtfully designed to maximize living space.

• 2-bedroom unit — Beginning families will find the 51 sq. m. unit a comfortable retreat with two bedrooms, toilet and bath, spacious dining and living areas, kitchen, and a linen closet for more storage space.

Prices range from P1.7- P2.3 million.

The Picasso is among the first five towers Crown Asia has recently launched for Presidio: Da Vinci Tower, Presidio’s first tower already under construction is a charming five-storey mixed-use (commercial and residential) condo; Rembrandt Tower, another mixed-use condo offering exclusivity and the luxury of bigger residences with only five units per floor; Michelangelo Tower, a 10-storey versatile garden condo rise featuring the largest selection of model units – the typical condo units, loft-type or bi-level units, garden units, and lavish penthouse units; and Monet Tower, the tallest among the y-shaped garden condo rise in the heart of Presidio offering the best vista of the bay and mountains with its three-winged 12-storey structure.

Presidio boasts of a Village Center to house leisure and athletic amenities and facilities, and a Town Center to offer the convenience of living just 10 meters away from commercial establishments while maintaining privacy and security for its residents.

Getting to Presidio takes only five minutes from Alabang, 15 minutes from NAIA, 20 minutes from Makati and Global City, and a quick 30-minute drive from Ortigas; via South Super Highway and C5. Upon completion of the C-6 construction travel time will be cut by half; while rehabilitation and modernization of the South Metro Rail Transit System will reduce the trip from Caloocan to Alabang to 30 minutes.

Visit Presidio at Brittany Bay and discover the convenience of condo living married with expansive landscaped surroundings and tastefully designed homes that maximize precious space — all in a strategic location.
