DMCI Homes adopts Balinese design for East Raya Gardens

Asian architecture is becoming a popular design among developers because everybody seems to want to bring an Asian touch inside their homes.

DMCI Homes is quick to respond to the trend and it has been successful in taking Indonesian-inspired architecture in its East Raya Gardens project.

Alma Florendo, project director of DMCI Homes, said East Raya Gardens will have a Balinese-themed development that promises security, privacy, exclusivity and easy access to all essential establishments in the metropolis.

“East Raya Gardens will have seven wonderfully designed medium-rise buildings. The clustering of the structures and the spatial arrangement of each component was carefully designed for the convenience and comfort of residents,” Florendo said during the blessing of model units of East Raya Gardens.

To give owners the experience of a garden atmosphere, Florendo said all East Raya Gardens buildings will feature single-loaded corridors opening up to landscaped central-atrium indoor gardens, creating a refreshing and healthy environment for its residents. Aside from giving a refreshing sight inside the buildings, she said DMCI Homes made sure the design allows the entry of natural light and ventilation.

Aside from providing a pleasing aesthetic design to its projects, Florendo said DMCI Homes also gave priority to the safety aspect, which was brought to the limelight with the onslaught of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng in the latter part of 2009. It would be recalled that the residential cities of Pasig, Marikina and Cainta particularly bore the brunt of the storm, its roads and subdivisions flooded to unimaginable levels and resulting in the loss of lives and properties.

With East Raya Gardens, Florendo said DMCI Homes, located in Pasig, was spared from severe flooding within its project site. A medium-density development sprawled on a 2.9-hectare prime property along Mercedes Avenue, its location was able to withstand the deluge of rising floodwaters.

Florendo said the resilience can be credited to the comprehensive project planning conducted by DMCI Homes. Furthermore, she said DMCI Homes carries a wealth of experience in construction from its parent company DMCI, one of the engineering and construction giants in the country.

DMCI Homes is the country’s first triple-A builder/developer with a wealth of experience backed by DMCI, which has been present for more than 50 years in the construction and development industry.

Through DMCI Homes’ property-management team, Florendo said DMCI Homes can deliver immediate assistance to each resident’s needs, such as general maintenance of common areas, utilities application and payment assistance, move-in assistance, realty-tax payment assistance, taxi call-in service, organization of community events and even newspaper-delivery service.

East Raya Gardens offers two-bedroom (56.5 and 64 sq m) and three-bedroom (88 sq m) units, each with a balcony and a service area on the roof deck. The efficiently laid-out two-bedroom unit is ideal for start-up families, while the more spacious three-bedroom unit is suitable for growing families who value space and comfort.
