Putting Asian touch to Filipino homes
MANILA, Philippines – Asians are known for their close ties with their families which can easily be seen inside their homes. For instance, a typical Filipino household looks like this: a child beyond 18 still stays in the parent’s house even after getting married; relatives live in the same compound with the other members of the clan; having a relative live in the same roof as yours.
Extended families are common among Asians where the family house is open to all members and even sometimes seen as a property to be passed on from generation to generation.
Empire East’s The Rochester is designed to accommodate every Filipino family’s needs for a decent and quality home thriving in a well-lived community. It follows the principles of Asian modern architecture that speaks of practicality, functionality and beauty to suit every Filipino’s tastes.
Beauty and function combined. The Rochester in San Joaquin, Pasig City strictly follows the clean and simple lines that are common on Asian modern structures while carrying earth-tone colors that exude simplicity, elegance and classical look. Decorative wooden brackets doesn’t only increase the aesthetic value of the tower’s facade but provides support to the entire structure while the wide glass windows allow more light and air to enter each structure. The scenic view from the outside of the window also encourages residents to appreciate nature’s beauty more.
Embracing spaces. Asian homes are known for abundant living spaces. In here, residents are entitled to spacious residential suites, with a choice of 1BR for single occupant, 2BR and 3BR suites with balcony ideal for average families and combined units to accommodate bigger families. The square-type unit layout of each suite gives owners more leeway to move around furniture, add decorations, or simply go around the house freely.
Supporting green. Involving nature is also typical in Asian architecture where concrete structures are built in nature-rich environment, creating a more harmonious and relaxing community. Upon entering, residents are welcomed by 60% open landscaped gardens where the sight of the luscious greeneries not only provides a healthier and fresher environment but also gives calming effect to the mind and spirit.
Playtime. Recreational amenities like adult and kiddie pools, basketball/tennis court, children’s playground, jogging paths, lounge area with mini-bar, gym and fitness area and game rooms provide quick entertainment and leisure to residents while the Wi-Fi enabled clubhouse and 100-seating capacity multi-purpose hall are perfect venues to socialize or hold special events.
