The practicality of vertical living meets the comfort of an urban townhouse in this 16-storey residential condominium rising on a 580 square meter lot in an upscale neighborhood in San Juan City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Each of the 12 luxurious residential flats is housed on its own exclusive and unique floor with a generous area of 280 square meters per unit. These combined with 2 storeys of commercial units and another storey for amenities result to a gross floor area of 6,400 square meters.

In Twelve Luxury Flats, each unit is programmed to have generous spaces with day lighting and ventilation on all four faces of every unit. At one unit per floor, it offers the luxury of living in an expansive space with unrestricted views. The residential units are planned to cater to a unique setting of both private moments and social gatherings. The plan centers around a living and dining suite bounded by floor to ceiling windows that open up to a luxurious veranda. This personal yet very open space allows for a blurring of the indoor and outdoor and creates an affinity with the sky.

In form, the verandas sweep in and out creating an organic profile with its soft curves and clean flowing contour contrasting to its solid white and grey palette – humanizing the otherwise cold feel of modern contemporary buildings. This distinct profile coupled with its light scale works with the surrounding streetscape by creating a landmark in this uniquely organic setting instead of dominating and overpowering it.
