Mariposa Mews aims to realize sustainable urban living in QC

THE MEWS Development Corp., In partnership with Terra Solutions Realty, is offering Mariposa Mews, a lowdensity midrise development and the only LEED for Homes Gold-compliant project in the Philippines, located in the boundary of Quezon City and San Juan (along C. Benitez and Mariposa Street, Quezon City).

With only 36 units spread over eight floors, the exclusive Mariposa Mews aims to push the envelope in green homes by offering highly energy-efficient features, clean, filtered fresh air, and high-end healthy materials vetted by an international green building rating system.

“For buyers, we want them to feel what living in a healthy home would be like and how that impacts their daily life. How their homes become a constant positive force to improve their mood, energy levels, and happiness while reducing their exposure to harmful pollutants and chemicals,” said Gerrett Lim, CEO of The Mews Development Corp.

The developers used materials such as Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (AAC) smart blocks with less embodied carbon than regular concrete hollow blocks.

Mariposa also uses premium materials, including quartz countertops, engineered hardwood floors, doubleglazed windows and hardwood doors.

“We also go above and beyond with built-in centralized VRF airconditioning, which only a handful of luxury properties offer,” Mr. Lim shared.

In addition, Mariposa Mews boasts superior indoor environmental quality. It also achieved a highly efficient building envelope, ensuring the heat of the Manila sun is kept at bay. The walls are insulated 15 times with regular hollow block or precast walls. Additionally, the windows are double-glazed, double low-e, with PVC frames to ensure minimal thermal gains.

In addition to natural ventilation, Mariposa Mews also has mechanical ventilation, which provides fresh, filtered outdoor air. This ensures that appropriate oxygen levels are maintained and the air in the spaces is clean.
