Model units show flexibility of Entrata home-office

MANILA, Philippines - Model units showing the flexibility of Entrata Urban Complex’s small office – home office (SOHO) for living and working make the newest landmark in Filinvest City , Alabang more exciting. One of the two recently unveiled model units is an office by day and home at night with its innovative layout and customized furniture ideas from the husband and wife interior design team of Architects Nap and Mae Cruz.

 The example SOHO for a video production outfit has a receptionist desk that can turn into a wine bar; a staff desk that can be flipped down to become a dining table; a kitchen hidden by a sliding wall with mural; an executive desk in the inner room that pivots along a sliding partition for space; a foldable conference table; a behind-the-wall bed that can be pulled down at night.  The 49.89 square meter (sq. m.) unit has a toilet and bathroom, large glass windows for ample lighting and outdoor views and provisions for telephone lines, cable TV and air conditioning units.

 “At home mode, there is no evidence of office functions. Even the display panel that holds the statutory Mayor’s permit, BIR registration and other government documents swings open to become an art piece,” says Mae Cruz during the blessing of the model units on Sept. 28. “And so, one can relax and enjoy the rest of the night in the midst of creature comforts. Bearing in mind that when the sun rises tomorrow, the room will instantly convert to the office mode once again.”

 The design of the other model unit shows how a 33.6 sq. m. Entrata SOHO unit can be used as a pure office. Cruz’s suggested design consists of organic forms and white color scheme that combine harmoniously to produce a soothing and calming effect to its occupants.

 Entrata’s SOHO tower has a total of 399 flexible studio units ranging from 32 to 36 sq. m. and corner units at 49.89 sq. m. Priced from P3 million to P5.1 million, the SOHO units now ready for occupancy are used as homes and as offices of medical professionals, engineers, business consultants and lawyers. Aside from being adaptable to the user’s lifestyle, home owners can also lease out their units.
