Presidio's Da Vinci Rises to Contemporary Urban Lifestyle

Keeping in stride with today’s urbanites become a harder feat as their lifestyles take on a busier and faster pace each day. Therefore, a residence which can help alleviate stress from their fast-paced routine becomes an overwhelming goal. As a pioneer in developing urban communities of value and style, CrownAsia creates a self-contained multi-level hub by the bay located at the boundary of thriving Sucat and City of Taguig, Presidio at Brittany Bay.

A vertical address becomes a fashionable yet practical residential option for urbanites with the unique design configuration of Presidio’s 16 towers interplaying in height and size. Recio+Casas Architects, the renowned partnership commissioned by CrownAsia, marries classic with contemporary and innovative condominium features. Distinguishing Presidio from other conventional condominiums is an encompassing theme inspired by San Francisco’s neo-Victorian architecture evident in each tower as well as in the whole enclave.

Da Vinci, Presidio’s first tower recently completed right on schedule, features an exterior which combines pale yellow and salmon hues while shingled roofs, intricate latticework, gable turrets, balconies and towers complete the San Fo design style. A 5-storey mixed-used (comprised of residential and commercial units) condo, the ground floor of Da Vinci will house commercial establishments such as a restaurant, fast food chain, coffee shop, and convenience store. Given the busy schedules of its future residents, getting a cup of coffee to start their day and a filling meal for the family will be the least of their worries.

One can catch a glimpse of redefined urban living at the recently unveiled model unit at the Da Vinci Tower.

Esteemed interior designer Pinky Cruz lent an Asian-influenced, relaxed ambiance with a feel of flowing space throughout the 2-bedroom 56 sq. m. home. Every meal becomes a pleasurable experience as a uniquely designed chandelier hangs over a cozy dining room detailed with wrought ironwork. Adjacent to it is the living room where Balinese ornaments, a coffee table atop a wicker throw rug, and cushioned lounge chairs can be found. The living area leads to a balcony, where once the sliding doors are opened natural lighting and ventilation enter freely.

The master’s bedroom has its own balcony for a glimpse of the bay, while inside, the décors made from natural resources and use of earth tones exude a relaxing. br> For the child’s bedroom, the vibrant colors and wide windows create a cheery retreat from schoolwork and an afternoon of play around the neighborhood of Presidio.
