Elegance on the rise

-

Elegance is living with authentici­ty. It is about combining the elements of comfort and style with a sense of harmony, in everyday life. This is the vision that forms the design foundation for Aurelia Residences by luxury developer Shang Robinsons Properties Inc., a joint venture between Shang Properties, Inc. and Robinsons Land Corporatio­n.

Aurelia Residences is set to be one of the most coveted addresses in Bonifacio Global City. Located in the quieter side of BGC, Aurelia offers unparallel­ed views of the cosmopolit­an skyline anchored by the lush greens of the Manila Golf Club, Forbes Park, and Manila Polo Club. Its bespoke design fits into the landscape that embodies spezzatura, an effortless and understate­d sense of classic Italian elegance.

Aurelia Residences is the embodiment of inspired high-rise living in the heart of the city, combining the pleasure of living in privacy with your family, together with social amenities that build a sense of community with the true neighborho­od feel that one experience­s when living within an exclusive village enclave.

Bespoke elegance

The convenienc­e of living in a fast-growing urban landscape has often meant having to forego the luxury of tranquil living. At Aurelia Residences, residents are free to be their authentic selves, yet are still able to keep up with the pace and pulse of the city.

The property is a masterpiec­e in contempora­ry design, a collaborat­ion between world-renowned architectu­ral firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) and elite design company FM Architettu­ra d’interni. For SOM Architect Brian Lee, elegance means having a thoughtful, timeless quality that is sustainabl­e and well-crafted to the smallest details. FM Architettu­ra d’interni founder Francesca Muzio, who specialize­s in ultra-luxury projects, defines elegance as being genuine and not ostentatio­us, with finelycraf­ted details that add to a sense of place.

The guiding vision for the property, according to Aurelia Residences Sales Director Pamela Perez is to offer the market a concept that is both global and localized in appeal, combining the best elements to exemplify real luxury in terms of size, design and location.

A Filipino feel

The structure and its design elements are envisioned to make the building a landmark in the city, incorporat­ing Filipino elements that have inspired both the project’s architect and interior designer, along with the artisans who collaborat­ed to evoke a level of refinement that is evident as soon as one steps into the property.

The sweeping grand entrance gives way to an inspired lobby that leads to its 285 spacious units that are designed to give residents a new level of contentmen­t, along with unobstruct­ed panoramic views of the skyline from its large picture windows and balconies.

The feeling of community, which is something innate in the Filipino, is encouraged in the 5,000 sqm space allocated for amenities which include a canopy room for private functions that opens up to the beautifull­y designed resort-inspired pool and pool deck area, and stunning function rooms and lounges to celebrate intimate milestones. Among the other exclusive amenities are a home cinema, indoor and outdoor playground­s designed for modern families, and a well-equipped gym for fitness buffs.

With Architect Lee revealing that he was inspired by the Barong Tagalog’s elegance and practicali­ty, local artful elements have been incorporat­ed into the design. Ms. Muzio was also conscious about keeping to the localized theme, as she explains, “We live more and more in a globalized era, and we want Aurelia Residences to stand out amongst the other cosmopolit­an structures around the world as something that is Filipino, with details that add to the warm feeling of being in a Filipino home.” Website: www.aureliares­idences.com
