From Baby Boomers to Generation Alpha, the various generations that live in the world today are an interesting variety.
Having experienced different moments in history, people often disagree when it comes to their priorities, needs and desires. More often than not, this has resulted in conflicts in communication, attitudes and goals in life. Rarely do we find places that meet all the essentials of people from across different periods.
Yet once in a while, there is a community that manages to do just that and more.
Today, let us explore a community that is made for the young and old. Conceived by a developer that has decades under its belt, Shang Properties’ communities feature homes, offices, and commercial spaces that manage to serve people across various generations. Read on to find out how this group designs spaces that transcend generations.
With its tagline “A place to call home,” the upcoming Laya by Shang Properties redefines the house in the city. Set in the vibrant environment of Brgy. Oranbo in Pasig City, this residential high-rise is a multi-functional structure that provides opportunities to live, work and play.
From retirees to yuppies, people in various stages of life have something to appreciate about Laya. The project features 2,934 sqm of exceptional amenities that include a fitness center, yoga studio, outdoor pool, children’s playground and workspaces of various sizes. Fitness enthusiasts can hit the weights; seniors can take a leisurely stroll; and little children can play with their peers in a secure and nature-filled environment.
When it comes to the residential units, Laya offers different types of homes.
Featuring a straightforward layout, the studio is essentially an open area that occupies a generous space of 34 sqm–ideal for the lone bachelor. The one-bedroom, meanwhile, offers a balcony, an open kitchen and a large living-dining area. It is ideal for young families or close roommates starting life in the big city.
If a larger group of occupants is in need, however, the two bedroom unit might be a better fit. Featuring a master ensuite, a secondary bedroom and two balconies, this unit does not skimp on space with its 95 sqm of living space. Lastly, the three bedroom is luxury living at its best, offering a helper’s quarters, two bathrooms and at least 145 sqm of private sanctuary.
Located within the Bridgetowne Estate, Haraya Residences features 558 meticulously designed metropolitan homes in Pasig City. A collaborative effort of international designers and local architects, this creation was guided by Shang Properties and Robinsons Land Corp.
Haraya Residences takes pride in launching the loggia–Italian-inspired outdoor spaces that benefit people of various ages. Built next to the living areas, they serve as an extension of interior spaces, allowing occupants to enjoy natural ventilation and daylight.
Featuring units that range from 60 sqm to 187 sqm of private space, the different homes allow people of all ages to relax in comfort and style.
The amenities, meanwhile, are specifically designed to serve multiple purposes. Composed of both indoor and outdoor spaces, there is a variety of activities here for every resident.
Barkadas can hang out in the Game Room, officemates can enjoy the Tea Room, and families can celebrate moments in the Chef’s Kitchen. There is a place for everyone in Haraya.
With its limited 285 residential units, the Aurelia Residences offers an in-demand address that boasts of views of Manila Golf Club, Manila Polo Club and Forbes Park.
Residents of all ages will thrive in Aurelia’s offerings of three-bedroom homes and penthouse units. Each unit is fitted with picture windows, ample storage space, and wide balconies. Whether young or old, you’ll experience luxury in the clouds in your own majestic home.
When it comes to the amenities, think of these spaces as an exceptional, exclusive resort. Seniors can enjoy a book under swaying palms. Overworked dads can relax in the Jacuzzi. Yuppies can treat themselves in the private cinema. Kids can hone their imagination in the gorgeous play room.
Catering to a variety of lifestyles, this complex offers a luxurious sanctuary that can suit various generations.
