This early, it’s already gaining prominence for its cutting-edge design, sustainability features, and exclusivity—traits that make it worthy of both local and international recognition.
A distinctive identity
The Estate Makati’s design introduces a refreshing and distinctive presence to the country’s most established central business district.
Employing the concept of an “inhabited façade,” the building allows residents to move freely into the outer skin of the structure. Its fenestrations, including expansive bay windows, effectively blur the lines between interior and exterior spaces, providing an immersive living experience that blends with the Makati skyline.
The cruciform plan of the building, combined with a column-free layout and double-slab technology, maximizes usable space, providing residents the flexibility to personalize their units. This innovative design approach by Foster + Partners further enhances the property’s appeal as it offers unobstructed views and increased privacy through angled windows.
LEED Gold
The Estate Makati’s self-cleaning facade and high-performance features likewise promote sustainability and efficiency, ensuring that this development is as future-ready as it is luxurious.
Such features include the facade with deep horizontal fins, which provide natural ventilation and shade. The rainwater recycling systems meanwhile irrigate the lush landscapes surrounding the development, while electric vehicle charging stations in the parking bays showcase the forward-thinking ethos of the project.
All these will allow The Estate Makati, which is securing a LEED Gold certification from the US Green Building Council, to reduce its carbon footprint while providing homeowners with a green lifestyle without sacrificing luxury.
A lifestyle beyond compare
The Estate Makati further elevates the concept of luxury living by ensuring utmost exclusivity and privacy.
Upon arrival, residents and guests are greeted by a raised driveway and drop-off area, concealed from public view by a lush canopy of trees. The bronze, marble, and stone finishes in the arrival lounge complement the exterior greenery, creating a transition from the hustle of the city into a private, serene retreat.
