Art deco design in a resort-inspired setting
MANILA, Philippines - Combining contemporary design with first-rate resort-like amenities, DMCI Homes’ Torre De Manila easily stands out as an alternative address for families who long for the safety and convenience of a condo while still enjoying the perks of modern living.
Further enhancing the prestige and value of living inside Torre de Manila is its Art Deco-inspired architectural design that emphasizes three distinct features: streamlined, geometric and dramatic. This feature may easily be gleaned through intricate touches of contemporary building designs. Its simplistic yet efficient building design is also further amplified with the provision of well-ventilated, well-lit and refreshing building interiors — this, compared to other high-rise projects which can only offer restrictive spaces with not enough room to breathe.
Through DMCI Homes’ pioneering Lumiventt design technology, the design’s aesthetic benefits have also been extended to practical use and functions. Its expansive atriums enable natural light to come in while its doors and windows have been designed to open up to single loaded hallways to allow air to flow all throughout the development.
Meanwhile, geometric lines, shapes and patterns used in the decorative metal grille works at the podium parking and balconies has added a touch of action and drama to its assertively contemporary design. The developer’s inclination for symmetry rather than asymmetry, between rectilinear and curvilinear, has also been made more pronounced with the use of various Philippine hardwood and stylized tropical ornamentation on wall display and decorations. Its unique and stunning tropical variant of native materials and craftsmanship has actually taken the development beyond function, and into a realm of art. 
Immediately upon entrance, one could also easily experience the ambience of a resort-feel lobby with high ceilings and round-the-clock receptionist who’d eagerly assist residents and their guests in the open lounge area. For the more active bodies, there’s also an entertainment room, a fitness center, an indoor badminton court and a game area where they can engage in various activities. The development also features six high-speed elevators, back-up power, 24/7 security, entrance gate with guardhouse and fire protection system. A property management office, as well as sewage treatment and drainage systems, have also been put in place.
Some of its more family-oriented outdoor amenities include a children’s play area, a tree court, basketball court, lap pool, kiddie pool, pool deck, sky garden, and a grand sky lounge that could either showcase sunrise views of the side facing Antipolo hills, or the romantic sunset views of the Manila Bay. Residents can enjoy the Linear Park, take leisurely strolls along the thematic gardens, or simply relax at the podium garden located at the 6th floor.
