What does a property look like when you integrate elements of nature into its design? There’s no need to imagine as it can be seen in SM Development Corporation’s (SMDC) project rising in Makati City called Mint Residences.
This condo development, which was recently honored as “Best Condominium Architectural Design” at the DOT Property Philippines Awards 2023, is getting the industry’s attention as it highlights its nature-inspired architecture, becoming an eco-friendly enclave that perfectly blends urban living with earth-friendly surroundings.
The project reached a significant milestone, marked by a topping-off ceremony on Oct. 20, 2023, signifying the near-completion of this project.
HEART OF URBAN CONVENIENCE
Situated along the bustling Chino Roces Avenue, Mint Residences is strategically located to provide residents with immediate access to Makati's central business district and other key business hubs in the metropolitan area.
In a city like Makati, where available developable land and green open spaces are in growing demand, Mint Residences emerges as a promising and innovative solution to the challenges of urban living. This modern residential development not only addresses the pressing need for housing but also brings a breath of fresh air to the urban landscape.
By seamlessly blending contemporary living with the greenery and community amenities that are often in short supply, Mint Residences not only offers a place to call home but also paves the way for a contemporary urban lifestyle, emphasizing sustainability, comfort, and convenience in the heart of a bustling metropolis.
NATURE AT THE CORE
One of the defining features of Mint Residences is its seamless fusion of modern natural materials with green elements. This approach aims to foster a deeper connection between residents and nature.
The building's façade, thoughtfully designed to resemble the midrib and veins of a leaf, comes to life during the evening as it is lighted, contributing to the development's aesthetic allure.
There’s also a range of eco-conscious features that have been thoughtfully integrated into the design, from an abundance of green space of almost 64 percent on the open deck to LED lighting in common areas, harnessing natural light and ventilation, and the creation of efficient unit spaces for practical urban living.
CALMING AND REFRESHING AMENITIES
Mint Residences is not only an architectural gem but also a haven of tranquility. Residents can enjoy an array of amenities designed to provide both calming and refreshing experiences. These include a trellis lounge with lush greenery, a reflection room and a library, a meticulously manicured garden with a pebbled walkway, and a serene garden pool.
Future residents can also enjoy the soothing water wall, wooden island deck, play area, and a roof deck sky garden, which offers refreshing views. The development seamlessly blends green living with the vibrancy of urban life, ensuring that the beauty of nature surrounds residents in every corner of the property.
Upon entering the property, one is welcomed by a series of vertical gardens, and the sound of water trickling down from the central feature. The scent of nature emanates from the flora, which soothes the senses.
The elegant lobby is decked with wood, marble, and concrete elements, to bring about an interlacing of modern design pieces with the beauty of nature. The smooth curvature of each interior, blending harmoniously with the plants, relaxes residents and visitors.
