MANILA, Philippines - The Amaryllis in New Manila, Quezon City stands out as a rare home-in-a-resort within the city, with it swimming pool surrounded by gardens and trees. From the poolside cabanas and sun loungers, this resort vibe extends to the lounge, hotel-like lobby and every floor and unit in the 22-story upscale, residential condominium tower at the corner of E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue and 12th St.
Garden atriums, single-loaded corridors and breezeways bring in natural air and light inside the building. Even the Sky Lounge has the “chic resort†look.
If the pool complex play up the tropical paradise spirit downstairs, the Sky Lounge’s simple yet elegant finishes and furniture pieces give The Amaryllis residents a luxe escape from the urban jungle, said Jen Padrigo, interior designer of project developer DMCI Homes.
“Wooden elements, gauzy curtains and tropical plants plus splendid views of the New Manila skyline bring in the feel of a resort while polished stone, metal and glass keep it modern,†Padrigo said of the Sky Lounge design. “A clean and neutral color palette accented with greens and combined with ambient/mood lighting enhances the overall cozy and sophisticated feel of the space.â€
Outside the Sky Lounge, date palms and kalachuchi trees with its white flowers replicate the ground floor landscape on the open roof deck for a consistent resort feel.
The Amaryllis promises low-density living with only 450 two-, three- and four-bedroom units in cuts ranging from 55 to 105.5 square meters. The sizes make them ideal homes for start-up families. Each unit has a balcony and every unit owner can have a parking slot at the four-level basement parking.
Other resort-like amenities, include a multi-purpose hall and fitness gym. Additional facilities that make living at The Amaryllis more convenient and worry-free are three high speed elevators, individual mailboxes, a laundry station, 100-percent backup stand-by power generator, and overhead water tank, water station, and property management office.
