MANILA, Philippines - Spanish culture and influence is alive in DMCI Homes’ newest residential enclave – the MaricieloVillas.

Idyllically located in history-rich Quirino and Casimiro Avenues in Las Piñas, where the famous St. Joseph ’s Bamboo Organ is found. This 18,522 square meter projectimbibes the charm of the past with the convenience of the future. The five-building development reflects this integral part of our history through its exquisite architecture and overall ambiance.

Maricielo Villas invokes the architecture of old Spanish Missionary communities through buildings with facades designed with prominent traditional lines, and offering pasilios or breezeways that not only creates more open space, but also provides cooler ventilation all throughout the community.

The Clubhouse, linear parks, and great outdoors also call on the history by the way the facilities are designed. Instead of the popular simple Zen design now seen in many condo developments, Maricielo Villas connects residents to its theme through its lush landscapes.

The place still brings about the ease and convenience of living in a condominium community. Lifestyle options are readily available for residents to choose from. An invigorating mix of resort living amenities will be incorporated into the project to satisfy the leisure and recreational needs of residents. Those with an active lifestyle can swim laps at the pool; bike, or brisk-walk at the park. Those who wish to simply de-stress can relax at the lounge area, linear parks, or soak up the sun while lounging at the pool decks. The Clubhouse also has a game room that’s set to be a hit among families. Living at Maricielo Villas will give residents the feeling of a lastingvacation they can look forward to daily.

The community’s Spanish theme has also brought in the project’s 516 units. Detailed lines and upgrades can be seen in the finishes, while balconies of every unit are designed with traditional grilles present in Spanish missionary buildings.

Units are also exposed to an open landscaped atrium that will provide lush verdant vegetation that improve not only the aesthetics of every home but also preserve fresh air, while single-loaded corridors allow units to open up to a balcony overlooking the landscaped atrium, instead of facing another unit’s door.
