Home is sanctuary at Riverfront
Urban residential developers are becoming increasingly deliberate in coming up with projects that provide not just sensible living spaces but also an atmosphere therein that incorporates nature and evokes tranquility. This is a refreshing departure from the cramped shoebox feel of traditional condominium buildings, or the monotonous grids of identical dwellings in subdivisions.
However, no amount of sprucing up and theme-fitting can faithfully approximate certain natural elements and essentials, especially in a highly urbanized setting such as Metro Manila. Attempting to replicate or transplant such will only prove disappointingly futile.
Perhaps unfairly, Riverfront Residences holds two trump cards that other developments sure wish they also had.
“The property is innately blessed with a magnificent view and a permanent breeze,” explains Efren Aurelio, landscape design consultant for this DMCI Homes prime development. “These are natural amenities that residents can enjoy uninterrupted and at no extra cost.”

Landscape factor
Landscape design takes preeminence in Riverfront Residences’ master plan and complements the intrinsic charm of its locale. From the building interiors, to its perimeters, to the wide-open spaces, the entire 3.2-hectare expanse is meticulously appointed with touches of nature and green. “We want the residents, whether they be taking a stroll or driving around, to enjoy the landscape details,” says Aurelio. “This is not just a home, this is a sanctuary.”
This message is made clear right at Riverfront’s doorstep. The impressive, guarded entrance ushers the residents straight to the spectacular central open space. Here, a trellised patio with an enormous three-layer cascading water wall greets the residents and somewhat tips one off to the pleasures and revitalizing appeal of a Riverfront lifestyle. This water feature is encircled by a playfully-designed swimming pool, a two-story clubhouse, and a mini-park that includes a children’s playground, walking path and a shaded area.
Meanwhile, each five-story building has an atrium that doubles as a central garden. Flowering plants and ferns adorn this area, providing the homeowners elements of the outdoors even when inside the buildings. “The central gardens is a calming delight for the residents, especially with the building’s configuration that allows for the abundant entry of sunlight and natural ventilation,” says Aurelio.
The perimeter of each building, on the other hand, is dotted with a variety of trees and shrubs that are meant to harmonize with the elegant modern-contemporary design of the structures.
