Homey living in a high-rise
By Anne Jambora
Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines—Forget the impersonal, business-like hotel atmosphere. A home should be as warm and full of character as the family that resides in it. Bring back that homey air into condo living with this residential high-rise especially designed with the human dweller in mind.

The 32-storey Illumina Residences Manila by DCMI Homes not only has a balcony in every home regardless of size; it also gives everyone a view of the verdant greens right inside the building. Every five storeys, a landscaped atrium is built so no matter what floor you decide to live in, you see your share of a garden. That also means more natural light coming in, better ventilation and refreshment to the eyes.

“What you get are real balconies, not pseudo-ones where all you can do is place a pot of plant,” said Butch G. Berin, project development manager of Illumina Residences Manila. “We deliver to our clients exactly what we promise.”

And that’s a word of honor that comes with an affordable price tag for real middle-income earners. How affordable? Studio units, with floor area of approximately 24 sqm plus a 4.5-sqm balcony, start as low as P1.4 million. The two-bedroom, with 48 sqm plus a 9-sqm balcony, starts at P2.7 million.

Designed with a unique T-shaped architecture, corridors are single-loaded with all units to one side. Residents won’t have to put up with a view of another door right in front of theirs. They will have even more privacy as there are an average of only 17 units per floor.

Located on P. Sanchez Street, Sta. Mesa, Manila, Illumina Residences Manila is in a 6,935.5-sqm land area. Environmental concerns were also considered such that the condominium was designed and built around the heritage trees in the property.

A grand drop-off is located up front so that the building doesn’t open directly to the street below, with a reception lobby inside. Illumina Residences Manila will have a 24-hour security and overhead water tank. It has three high-speed elevators and ample parking space for the convenience of its residents.

With a generous amount of the space devoted to amenities and sprawling greens, children will have more space to run while adults can have the luxury of enjoying the outdoors while living in a high-rise.

Illumina Residences Manila has its own Study Hall, with free Wi-Fi Internet access for its residents. Other luxury amenities include a lap pool, fitness gym, deck garden, function room that comfortably sits up to 50, and a lanai area to spend lazy afternoons on.

“Because we are targeting real middle-income segments, we choose locations that are accessible to schools, hospitals and commercial establishments without having to live within the busy Central Business District itself,” Mary Maylanie L. Precilla, director for marketing, said.

To make it even more convenient to its residents, the building will also offer various services for a minimum fee, such as car wash, water station, laundry pick-up service and newspaper delivery. All these are manned by a team of professionals.

Due for official turnover in 2011, units come complete with finished flooring and ceiling, cupboards and tiles.

DMCI Homes is the country’s first Triple-A builder/developer, that offers modest income-earning families optimum value for their money by providing homes with exceptional features and amenities, world-standard level of craftsmanship borne out of more than 50 years of experience in the construction and development industry.

FLOOR PLANS:
Studio Unit: approximately 24 sqm plus 4.5 sqm balcony
Two-bedroom unit: approximately 48 sqm plus 9 sqm balcony
Two-bedroom mid unit: approximately 55 sqm plus 13.5 sqm balcony
Three-bedroom end unit, approximately 66 sqm plus two balconies of 9 sqm and 7 sqm.

AMENITIES: Lap pool, fitness gym, deck garden, function room, study hall, lanai

BUILDING FEATURES: Grand drop-off entrance, landscaped atriums every five floors, reception lobby, three high-speed elevators, CCTV, 24-hour security, single-loaded corridors, balconies in all units, overhead water tank, ample parking space

Airy, bright, fluid and stress-free
By Anne Jambora

MANILA, Philippines—A home is a sanctuary, a calm place that stops the noisy babel of the city at its doorsteps. To achieve this, a house’s lines must be clean, accents and accessories are kept to a minimum, and everything is streamlined. A house then should incorporate the functionalities and sleek forms of the Scandinavian design, which is known for its ability to “humanize” a space.

The soon-to-rise 32-storey Illumina Residences Manila, a sprawling residential oasis by DMCI Homes in the heart of bustling Sta. Mesa, showcases the Scandinavian design strength right inside its approximately 48-sqm two-bedroom model unit on P. Sanchez Street. So while the concept of condo living often brings images of cramped, boxed-like living, the Illumina Residences Manila brings back the sun and the view into everyone’s home.

“Long winters and lack of natural light in Scandinavia created a need for sleek and airy interiors that made most of the available light,” said interior designer Sharlyn Javellana, who worked with co-designer Karen Soriano on the project.

The duo used a white-on-white palette, moving only from warmer to cooler white. Splashes of colors appear on accessories and accent pieces so that the design flow is fluid and continuous. Furniture is painted white with wood stains in light silver wood color (grayish), consistent with the theme’s absence of dark colors.

And since the theme is Scandinavian-inspired, everything is movable with product solutions in mind. The coffee table in the living area, for instance, doubles as a storage space. Curves, another distinct Scandinavian design character, appear in accent balls and candleholder stems.

Window treatments are light and airy, said Soriano. The designers opted to put light layers of screens instead of heavy curtains and drapes. A sliding curtain panel with glass curtain over solid curtain, the screens allow the owners to adjust the amount of light that enter the room while still able to enjoy the privacy of their space.

“There is no complete blockage of light so you don’t feel confined in your own home,” Javellana said.

Cotton and linen fabrics, commonly found in Scandinavian-style homes, follow the natural theme, too. Plain or textured, the color scheme is repeated in many areas of the house so as not to distract the eye.

Unique storage solution Ladder-type open shelves, custom-built against a wall in the dining area, also doubles as storage and showcase furniture. As long as owners follow the rule of stacking together objects of the same size or color, this unique storage solution will not create a serious visual clutter.

“Pieces with storage as second function will be very useful for condo living where space is an issue,” Javellana said.

A table for four sits in the middle of the dining area. The furniture is a mix of straight lines with slightly curved details. Legs on chairs are thin and tapered. Neutral color blonde wood, such as beech, ash or white pine, is the color scheme of the furnishings.

Glass works are found in shelves and side tables to add a light ambience. In the master’s bedroom, mirrors and glass make the room glow without creating any shadows. Subtle touches of greens, blues and yellows are the designers’ way of bringing the colors of the landscape outside into the room. A sliding door with a concept similar to the window-treatment curtains leads toward a long, 9-sqm balcony that leads all the way to the child’s bedroom.

The child’s bedroom, said Javellana, is a dual-functional room. It’s scaled with the adult in mind, and only the accessories, such as books and a colorful clock, disclose its dweller’s age. When the child grows up, no major work is needed to adjust the space to his or her size.

A working area to the right of the room, with side table of glass and steel, also makes it convenient for mom to do her work while the child sleeps, Javellana said.

Toilet and bath, located across the living and dining areas, also serves as the home’s wet area, with appropriated space for the washer inside. Small artworks with subtle colors adorn the area, with a long mirror to bring in more light and add space.

The kitchen area, located next to the toilet and bath, has built-in overhead and base cabinets, and granite countertops. Sleek metallic finish with glass jars dominates the area. The kitchen is almost bare, with major appliances like refrigerators and countertop stoves taking up space.

“With the right use of colors and accents you can make condo living more livable. Space can become less of an issue,” Javellana said.

Designers adopt ‘casual aged’ style with a dash of modernism for Illumina Residences Model Unit and Sales Office.

A trip to Sta. Mesa, Manila usually evokes images of Old Manila and all the things that have become synonymous with the glorious city from the Spanish Era to the American colonial years up to today’s established districts which refuse to heed the call for change. For those who have had the pleasure of navigating its roads and side streets during years gone by, it is this old world charm that has been ingrained into the collective conscience and will forever be identified with Manila and all the districts that stem forth from it.

That will soon change with an inflection of modernism through the latest condomium project of DMCI Homes aptly named, Illumina Residences Manila.

A single tower of concrete, glass and steel that stands to be a beacon for modernism, functionality and innovative design concepts for the condomium market in Manila.

These design concepts and innovations can be seen at Illumina Residences Manila’s new sales office which was specifically designed to showcase the projects features and benefits.

The designers of the Illumina Residences Manila Sales Office in fact looked oceans away for the theme that can best suit this new development by DMCI Homes. Absolute Spaces Partner in Design, Inc. – a collaboration of experienced architects and designers — specifically chose a Scandinavian concept which combines the neutral colors of the Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish landscape for a “casual aged” appearance.

Sharlyn Ann Javellana, managing partner of Absolute Spaces, said that they wanted to create a sanctuary from the busy streets outside this venue. “We wanted to achieve a light and very calm ambience for guests, because outside, everything is concrete and gray, so when they go inside, we want to offer them a restful space.”

This may explain why homebuyers and guests entering the Sales Office feel welcome while lounging around the living area and the negotiation rooms or checking out the features of the model unit. Glass and stainless steel furniture, mirrors on the wall, and neutral shades for the accessories, combine for a light and easy feel. Guests don’t even feel the searing heat from the outside — window panels are covered with roller shades using very light treatment.

DMCI Homes is the country’s first Triple A builder/developer that offers modest income earning families optimum value for their money by providing homes with exceptional features and amenities, world-standard level of craftsmanship borne out of more than 50 years’ experience in the construction and development industry.

price +location + building design wise, this project is good buy.

oh no with the design it's gonna hit any lrt 8 alignment:ohno:

What exactly do you mean? Does the project need to move to give way for LRT 8 or vice versa? Will LRT 8 run directly in front of it? How about the road widening of P. Sanchez / V. Mapa?

lets just hope na e transpalnt sila

Sayang ung mga punong mapuputol.

wasnt DMCI the developer for the Pioneer Highlands because they are using the same design so it appears, nice project but seem like they could easily modify the design to make it look more contemporary

Concerns are currently circulating regarding the use of granite in residential countertops. Reports suggest some countertops may pose health risks due to radiation levels occuring in natural granites.


Background: Natural Radiation

Granite is a normal, geological source of radiation in the natural environment. Granite contains around 10 to 20 parts per million of uranium. By contrast, more mafic rocks such as tonalite, gabbro or diorite have 1 to 5 ppm uranium, and limestones and sedimentary rocks usually have equally low amounts.

Many large granite plutons are the sources for palaeochannel-hosted or roll front uranium ore deposits, where the uranium washes into the sediments from the granite uplands and associated, often highly radioactive, pegmatites.

Granite could be considered a potential natural radiological hazard as, for instance, villages located over granite may be susceptible to higher doses of radiation than other communities. Cellars and basements sunk into soils formed over or from particularly uraniferous granites can become a trap for radon gas, which is heavier than air.

However, in the majority of cases, although granite is a significant source of natural radiation as compared to other rocks it is not thought an acute health threat or significant risk factor. Various resources from national geological survey organisations are accessible online to assist in assessing the risk factors in granite country and design rules relating, in particular, to preventing accumulation of radon gas in enclosed basements and dwellings.

Radon Testing of Various Countertop Materials - Final Report

by L. L. Chyi
Department of Geology and Environmental Science
The University of Akron
Akron, OH 44325-4101
May, 2008


Conclusion:

The testing procedures for radon emanation of granite countertops are designed for normal use of these stones only as countertops. Adapting the 4pCi/L action level as recommended by US EPA as a reference and the house is not in active use, Crema Bourdeaux countertop raises less than 7% of this action level. The second and the third highest radon count stone Tropic Brown and Baltic Brown can add only approximately 1% of this action level. All the other countertops adds only insignificant amount of radon to the house. If normal air exchange rate is applied or the house is actively used, then the radon addition should be much smaller.

The main source of radon emitted from granite countertop is from trace minerals found inside the brown or black minerals known as biotite because of their uranium content. The radon emanation from other minerals in the countertops such as orthoclase and quartz are negligible. If proper resealing is applied once a year or at other frequencies recommended by the industry, the radon emanation can further be reduced.

See Full Report: http://www.marble-institute.com/indu...-akron2008.pdf

The issue of granite countertops and radon-gas emissions geared up in May, as several reports by U.S. television stations, a new not-for-profit group and a couple of scientific reports fueled the debate.
By month’s end, the public discussion led to a new effort by the Marble Institute of America to combat what it sees as unfair allegations.

The current concern about radon-gas emissions came from Houston-based BuildClean™ Inc., a new non-profit group with a stated mission, according to its Website, to educate “consumers and the building industry about safe, healthy and environmentally friendly materials.” All of the information on the site, including links to scientific abstracts, deal with radon and granite.
The group issued a news release n late March concerning possible high emissions by some granite countertops, along with a program to offer free radon testing for Houston-area homeowners, which appeared in a number of online financial-news Websites via a national media-distribution agency.
The issue received more exposure via a May 9 report by KHOU-TV – “Are Granite Countertops Bad For Your Health” – that featured comments by Sara Speer Selber, BuildClean’s president, about the study and examples of granite with high radon emissions, along with a rebuttal by MIA President Jim Hogan that, “there’s no science that indicates or tells us of any stone being sold commercially available to the public for installation that has higher than the four picocures per liter EPA standard (for radon).”
KHOU brought in Dr. Wlliam Llope, a physics professor at Houston’s Rice University, to evaluate a countertop in a Houston home with a tested elevated level of radon. He went on to look at data measured from 95 different types of granite, and then created a hypothetical room, 20’ X 10’ X 10’, with 54 ft² of countertop surface.
Llope’s study showed that 92 of the 95 granite varieties tested emitted little or no radon. Two, however, exhibited elevated radon levels, and one released over the level that the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would consider dangerous in long-term exposure.
On May 14, the MIA released a study by Dr. L.L. Chyi, a geochemistry/environmental geology professor at the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio, examining 13 granites that “are believed to represent up to 85 percent of the granite countertop market in recent years,” according to an MIA news release.
The study found all 13 varieties emitting far less than what the EPA considers a dangerous level. Dr. Chyi’s test measured the amount of radon that would be added to a 2,000 ft² normally ventilated home with 8’-high ceilings, again with 54 ft(2) of countertop surface.
WNYT-TV in Albany, N.Y., also visited the topic on May 21 – “New Findings on Radon and Granite Countertops” – including comments by Dr. Michael Kitto of the New York State Health Department’s Wadsworth Labs. Kitto noted that he’s studied 40 granite types and found one sample giving off significantly higher radon levels than the others, and that air exchange is greater in a kitchen than in a basement, where most residential radon tests occur.
“The vast majority of the granites are not likely to be a significant contributor to the radon in your house,” Kitto said.
The KHOU report also noted that the initial funding for BuildClean is coming from two sources involved with Silestone® and Cambria®, two quartz-surface brands in competition with natural stone. On its board of directors, BuildClean’s treasurer is Peter Martin, director of marketing operations for Cambria in Eden Prairie, Minn., and the chair is Hernando Diaz-Arauzo, vice president/operations for Stafford, Texas-based C&C North America, the North American distributor of Silestone and a variety of natural stone from Spanish quarrier/producer Cosentino S.A.

On May 23, the MIA announced the creation of the Truth About Granite Fund to “help finance a campaign to stop spurious allegations attempting to link granite countertops to the threat of cancer,” according to an MIA news release.The Natural Stone Council and Cold Spring Granite Co. of Cold Spring, Minn., each contributed $5,000 to start the fund. The MIA also sent a letter in late May to its members soliciting funds.
The MIA’s Hogan noted the trade group already invested $50,000 of unbudgeted funds prior to the fund’s creation, and that amount may increase by the end of 2008.
“It is important that we have all the legal, technical, public relations and marketing/advertising tools we need to protect the good name of granite and to reassure consumers that granite is as safe as it is beautiful, durable and practical,” Hogan said.
The Truth About Granite Fund will be a special segregated account whose expenditures will be overseen by the MIA executive committee. Contributions can be sent to: Marble Institute of America/Truth About Granite Fund, 28901 Clemens Rd, Suite 100, Westlake, OH 44145.

Rice Professor: Granite Countertops Emit Dangerous Radon and Radiation

By Alice Turner
19:21, July 27th 2008


Rice University physics Professor W.J. Llope alleges that according to his yet unpublished research, some granite countertops found in U.S. homes give out dangerous radon fumes and gamma radiation, due to their uranium content. While most stones are not radioactive, a few are, and it appears that nobody tests them.

Professor Llope tested some 55 stones of more than two dozen types of granite bought from dealers in and near Houston, Texas. A few of those could expose homeowners to 100 millirems of radiation in a time span of a few months, which is the annual exposure limit set by the U.S. Department of Energy for visitors to nuclear labs.

Of the more than a thousand varieties of granite sold in the United States, none of them is routinely tested for radioactivity. Meanwhile, Marble Institute of America rushed out a statement which alleges that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) statements reaffirm that granite countertops pose no significant health risk.

The Environmental Protection Agency says radon gas in homes comes mostly from soil gas that is drawn indoors through a natural suction process. The government regulator said that most construction materials made from minerals contain various small amounts of radioactive substances.

The Marble Institute of America also called in the statement Professor W.J. Llope's findings "junk science."

Granite is a high-quality construction material because it is nearly always massive (lacking internal structures), and is very tough. It is an igneous rock and formed from Earth's solidified magma. It is known to contain around 10 to 20 parts per million of uranium. It seems that there is some concern for buildings located over granite, as radon gas is heavier than air and is known to persist in basements sunk into the ground.

The chemical element Radon is radioactive noble gas that is formed from the decay of radium, and some sources allege that it causes 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the United States alone and is thought the second most frequent cause of lung cancer, after cigarette smoking.

Most granite quarries are located in Finland, Norway and Sweden, northern Portugal, Spain, Brazil, India and several countries in southern Africa, namely Angola, Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Looking at the turnover specifications of DMCI, their kitchen countertops are actually using granite. I do not know about the other developers but I think they should also publish what they are using. If ever they are using granite as with DMCI, I think it is better for them to secure at least a product certificate of analysis showing their radon emission potential. The Bureau of Product Standards should establish the acceptable level based on international standards. With this, public concerns regarding its hazard can be properly addressed.

bakit ganoon yung hallway? mukhang tenement

¡obra clásica elegante hermosa!

^^ Doesn't look elegant to me. Classic? Ah oo classic nga, mukhang luma! :lol: Beautiful? Pwede na rin.

any updated pictures on the construction, has it started? thanks.

Gents,

is this a good buy (grew up in this area)? given the price, location and developer. appreciate any advice.

thanks!

bakit ganoon yung hallway? mukhang tenement
agree. but im guessing, the single corridor type will give more air flow to all residents.
i would suggest that they should require every household to have the same type and color of curtains or roll up windows.
i cant just imagine na may curtains na may lace, checkered, ung iba naman roman blinds. definitely this will look like one of those imelda marcos's housing projects in the 70s

sounds weird....

illumina......

and a satanic advocate

thanks!

DMCI has been working on the construction industry for more than 50 years.. some of their notable workpieces include SM Megamall, CCP, Rockwell Center, One Roxas Triangle, Royal Palace of Brunei, among others.. sikat sila dahil sa efficient workforce nila kaya madali matapos ang projects nila..

masasabi ko namang okay ang DMCI Homes dahil wala kami naging problema sa payments at pati sa transfer of records.. we purchased a unit sa East Ortigas Mansions in Pasig (one of their first residential developments, kasabay ng Dansalan Tower) noong 2003 pa.. hanggang ngayon ay well maintained pa din ang perimeter.. buildings had undergone repainting last year.. they respond always immediately after problems have been reported..

^^ Really!!.. CPI created the Brunei sultan's palace.. :eek2:.

That is something to brag about for DMCI.
tsk tsk tsk Maling mali ako ng inisip sa DMCI...

DMCI has been working on the construction industry for more than 50 years.. some of their notable workpieces include SM Megamall, CCP, Rockwell Center, One Roxas Triangle, Royal Palace of Brunei, among others.. sikat sila dahil sa efficient workforce nila kaya madali matapos ang projects nila..

masasabi ko namang okay ang DMCI Homes dahil wala kami naging problema sa payments at pati sa transfer of records.. we purchased a unit sa East Ortigas Mansions in Pasig (one of their first residential developments, kasabay ng Dansalan Tower) noong 2003 pa.. hanggang ngayon ay well maintained pa din ang perimeter.. buildings had undergone repainting last year.. they respond always immediately after problems have been reported..

agree after seeing some of their completed project, have decided to invest in ilumina residences hopefully this was a good decision :okay:

Taken just yesterday...

MANILA, Philippines - “Old” Sta. Mesa has earned its tag through a colorful history as one of the first districts in the City of Manila. Its name was derived from the “Santa Mesa de la Misericordia” – the owner of the land during the Spanish era.

Its “poblacion” or town center during the colonial period are the vibrant streets of Old Santa Mesa Road from Stop and Shop to V. Mapa. Today it remains a busy location, since the area is practically linked to major destinations around the metro such as San Juan, Makati, Mandaluyong and Quezon City.

This strategic location will soon be enjoyed by urban professionals and families through a new development set to rise in the heart of Old Sta Mesa. DMCI Homes presentsIllumina Residences Manila as a prestigious high-rise condominium community that will be located in the quiet side of Sta. Mesa.

The key location of this district has in fact been enjoyed for years by the Filipino-Chinese who need to conduct their daily business within Manila, as well as students who go to adjacent schools in the thriving university belt. It also affords a convenient 20-minute back road that leads to Makati; 10 minutes to Manila and Mandaluyong, and 20 minutes to the Ortigas Central Business District.

Sta. Mesa also connects residents to major commercial points, such as Greenhills, SM Centerpoint, Robinsons Galleria, Powerplant Mall and SM San Lazaro. Residents of this district can pursue leisure options in various locations nearby without having to travel far.

Families can avail of their health needs at trusted medical institutions located nearby, namely Cardinal Santos Medical Center, St. Luke’s Medical Center, University of the East-Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center, and Lourdes Hospital which is right beside Illumina Residences.

Reputable schools and educational institutions are likewise accessible to the project site, such as Xavier Schools, La Salle Greenhills, St. Paul’s College, Central Colleges of the Philippines, and Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and Don Bosco School Manila (which is right in front of Illumina Residences).

Illumina Residences is ideal for growing families and Manila residents who are looking to upgrade their homes and quality of living.

MANILA, Philippines - The City of Manila has long been characterized by progress and development. Different portions of the urban environment capture the city’s rich and cultured history, while new infrastructures signify optimistic changes.

Living in the metropolis won’t be the same again as DMCI Homes’ Illumina Residences Manila (IRM) introduces a home environment that’s accessible through the streets of Manila, while providing residents a special sanctum that keeps them away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Illumina is a 32-story development that is currently under construction. A significant portion of the structure is already finished.

“This resort-inspired property features modern minimalist interiors with colors that are light and easy on the eyes,” explains Rina Soria, DMCI architectural design manager. “Off-whites and beiges are used because they have a relaxing effect.”

The subdued colors also help create a clean and peaceful ambience for busy homeowners
.

“We’re living in a fast-paced world. If it’s minimalist, you have less things to maintain and worry about,” she adds.

Illumina Residences Manila also utilizes an architectural design that inspires the use of available light.

“The introduction of abundant natural lighting and ventilation into the units is a typical Filipino-Asian touch,” says Soriano. “We have a lot of windows — along the hallways, and the outer face of the building — so there’s cross-ventilation. The units make use of natural light so you rely less on artificial lighting.”

Aside from comfort-inducing features, IRM is different from other high-rise projects because two units face a single corridor.

“Ours are separated by an atrium, so it’s single-loaded. When you come out of your unit, it doesn’t feel cramped and there’s privacy,” notes Soria.

Atriums are located in every five floors in Illumina, allowing for even more rejuvenating moments inside the property. The unusual shape of the building has its functions as well.

“It’s shaped like the pi symbol. When we first started the property, there were old trees that we didn’t want to touch, and we wanted to retain the atrium. Also, it’s basically the shape of the property. We had to maximize it, so this is what we came up with.”

The Illumina building boasts various amenities such as a gym, swimming pool, basketball and badminton courts, function areas, and the Sky Lounge and study hall.

Another thing that differentiates IRM from other condos is the absence of commercial spaces at the ground floor.

“The security of our residents is of utmost importance,” says Soria.

DMCI Homes is the country’s first triple A builder/developer that offers modest income earning families optimum value for their money by providing homes with exceptional features and amenities, world-standard level of craftsmanship born out of more than 50 years’ experience in the construction and development industry.

Illumina Manila: Comfortable haven in the city (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=531297&publicationSubCategoryId=76)
(The Philippine Star (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=531297&publicationSubCategoryId=76)) Updated December 11, 2009 12:00 AM


Illumina Residences is a 32 storey high-rise building on a 6,935 sqm property with more than half of the area dedicated to open spaces.


MANILA, Philippines - Renowned property developer DMCI Homes continues to create quality living environments that cater to a wide range of clients searching for the ideal home. In the progressive city of Manila, DMCI Homes is redefining urban living with the creation of a high rise that combines accessibility with comfort and security. The Illumina Residences Manila is a condominium development that offers its residents a wise alternative to cramped spaces and greenery-free residences prevalent in urban areas.

Here, city living becomes easier as its unit owners — the career-driven and professionals with growing families — experience many conveniences not afforded elsewhere. Imaginatively conceptualized and carefully planned, it is a place that helps its residents realize their dreams of secure and comfortable living. With world-class, resort-like amenities, Illumina Residences provides a relaxing, revitalizing sanctuary that keeps out the daily pressures of work or school. And because it’s a design masterpiece, Illumina has special lighting and ventilation advantages.

The 32-storey building’s Modern Minimalist design is characterized by clean, uncluttered lines. The subdued earth colors inspire a tranquil ambiance, providing homeowners a much-needed distance from the demands of daily routines. Illumina Residences’ architecture also inspires the use of available lighting, which can lead to less artificial light use and therefore, less electricity expenses. The design of the windows allows natural light to enter, and this benefit is complemented by cross-ventilation. The number of windows gives residents plenty of opportunities to experience the cool breeze.

When viewing the top of the building, one can notice its distinct T-shape. The property’s nearly 6,940 square-meter space was maximized, while leaving trees untouched. The structure’s shape allowed the greenery’s preservation, giving more areas to rest in or to be viewed.

DMCI Homes is the country’s premier triple A builder/developer that offers modest income earning families optimum value for their money by providing homes with exceptional features and amenities, world-standard level of craftsmanship borne out of almost 55 years experience in the construction and development industry.

Commercial areas

Sta. Mesa also connects residents to major commercial points, such as Greenhills, SM Centerpoint, Robinsons Galleria, Powerplant Mall and SM San Lazaro. Residents of this district can pursue leisure options in various locations nearby without having to travel far.

Families can avail of their health needs at trusted medical institutions located nearby, namely Cardinal Santos Medical Center, St. Luke’s Medical Center, University of the East-Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center, and Lourdes Hospital which is right beside Illumina Residences.

Reputable schools and educational institutions are likewise accessible to the project site, such as Xavier School, La Salle Greenhills, St. Paul’s College, Central Colleges of the Philippines, and Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and Don Bosco School Manila.

Building features

Soon to be the newest landmark to grace the old neighborhood of Sta. Mesa, this project will offer urban convenience matched with resort-style amenities, upgraded facilities, and efficient condo management. This development by DMCI Homes follows other projects that have established the brand in the industry, such as Raya Garden Condominiums, Tivoli Garden Condominiums, Dansalan Garden Condominiums, among others.

As with these other DMCI Homes developments, this new community will also prove to be a valuable investment with its first-rate development features. Among these are the unique building features such as atrium gardens found on every five floors, balconies on all units, a T-shaped design that affords views of the city from all units, and medium density living with an average of around 17 units per floor.

Premium space planning provides generous room for comfort. A 60:40 building footprint amenities ratio also ensures the abundance of refreshing landscaped open spaces and amenities distinctive of all DMCI Homes projects.

Launched in April 2008, it is scheduled for completion in August 2011. More information is at tristan_dmci@yahoo.com, for inquiries: 0915-7559129

DMCI Homes to open luxury condos in Sta. Mesa
Illumina Residences Manila
July 5, 2010, 3:50pm

Triple A builder/developer DMCI Homes is set to raise the bar of condominium living in Manila with the soon-to-be-completed Illumina Residences Manila in Sta. Mesa, a 32-storey, single-structure community. Through the building’s sophisticated design imbibed from the driveway to the condo units, DMCI Homes offers a five-star lifestyle for people planning to call Manila their permanent address.

A cosmopolitan feel is evident from the driveway, which showcases a view of the lobby, the lounge area and the function rooms. The featured spaces were designed to mirror the posh atmosphere of living in Illumina Residences Manila.

Designed by interior experts Gruppo Espazio, the look of the condo’s ground level brings to mind the welcome of classy hotels. Greeting guests at the driveway is a beautiful and modern fountain area with glass installation art. The entrance opens to a lobby designed with a luxurious, continental charm.

Gruppo Espazio conceptualized the space with a mixture of textures evident in the ceiling, the walls, and the floor, and extended with the choice of furnishing and furniture. Livening up the areas are earth-tone colors accented with bright hues on the walls that create that distinct feel of international flair – think French boutique hotels, or charming country villas.

The play of textures adds depth and character to both the lobby and the lounge area. A beautiful mixture of wood accents stretch from floor to ceiling, creating a path that leads to different spaces of the ground level. The area is also given a modern touch with metal accents via decorative lights, wall decors and table centerpieces. The function rooms are designed with neutral colors to maintain the sophisticated atmosphere, and furnished for a variety of activities in mind.

The high-end ambience does not stop at the ground floor. The units are designed for residents to enjoy privacy and exclusivity via its unique T-shape architecture. The special ground layout allows for the unique experience of single-corridors – residents open their doors not to a narrow hallway, but to a view of a landscaped atrium situated at certain floors of the building, creating the aura of space.
The same layout also provides a 360-degree view of the metropolis, assuring that each unit will have a vantage of the city which residents can enjoy on their balcony. This architecture also allow for more natural light to flow in every home, whether in a studio (24 sqm), two-bedroom (48 sqm), two-bedroom mid unit (55 sqm), and three-bedroom end unit (66 sqm).

Units are turned-over in ready to receive finish with provisions for a more flexible design layout.
Staying true to its theme of luxury living, the project’s lifestyle amenities offer a wide range of choices for activities one usually have access when staying in resorts and hotels.

The amenities are geared towards group or family-oriented activities such as a lanai, a lap pool, a deck garden, and a sky lounge which offers a view of downtown Manila, and can also double as a space for special gatherings. A study hall and fitness gym are available for more personal pursuits.

For added convenience, there will be three high-speed elevators, a CCTV camera for added security, provisions for CATV and phone lines, as well as access to WiFi connection in the amenities area.

This project is targeted to finish four months earlier and will be turned over in April of 2011. More information is at www.dmcihomes.com.

agree after seeing some of their completed project, have decided to invest in ilumina residences hopefully this was a good decision :okay:

Hi Omani -- we're neighbors.. we bought one 2-bedroom unit where my brother and his family will be staying at. I hope this is also a good investment. Quite worried about the traffic but hopefully ayos lang.

very nice!!!!!!:applause::cheers2::okay:

When it comes to choosing which project to call home in the city, various important factors are carefully considered. Aside from the convenience of location, unit sizes, and featured amenities, the reputation of a developer also plays a major aspect in the decision. However, there are also those who take projects at face value – preferring to see for themselves that construction is on a roll and on time, and that features promoted by a developer will be delivered as promised.

Premiere Triple A developer, DMCI Homes, offers not just the assurance of a trusted name in the industry, but the chance for home-seekers to check out their projects and follow the development of a construction.

One of the projects that is worth checking out is Illumina Residences Manila – DMCI Homes’ single, high-rise tower located in the corner of V. Mapa and P. Sanchez Sts. in Sta. Mesa, Manila.

With only a few months left before completion, this 32-storey project from the trusted builder/developer is testament to the company’s reputation of delivering projects on time. Construction is already at the finishing stages, and targeted to be complete by February 2011. It will be ready for occupancy on April 2011.

Illumina Residences Manila is DMCI Homes’ answer to the call for plush high-rise living in this part of Metro Manila. With upscale, resort-like amenities, Illumina Residences Manila provides a relaxing, revitalizing sanctuary that keeps out the daily pressures of work or school. It is a design masterpiece that puts forward special lighting and ventilation advantages available only through DMCI Homes. Such ingenuity and innovation is a trademark of the country’s premiere triple A builder/developer that offers modest income earning families optimum value for their money by providing homes with exceptional features and amenities, world class standard level of craftsmanship borne out of almost 55 years experience in the construction and development industry.

Visitors and clients will instantly feel the cosmopolitan vibe of the building from the driveway alone, seeing as it opens to a spectacular view of the lobby, the lounge area and the function rooms. The area is highlighted by a piece-de-resistance, a fountain with glass installation art which also mirrors the posh atmosphere of living in Illumina Residences Manila.

Available units are also ready for viewing. Model units which embody the Illumina Residences Manila lifestyle is shown through two-bedroom homes with gross floor area of approximately 48 sqm. to 82 sqm. Such generous unit cuts are made with the start-up or growing families in mind.

The units also emphasize a truly unique home technology that only DMCI Homes can offer. Homes open to single-loaded corridors with a refreshing view of a lush atrium located in every five floors. This set-up allows for more fresh air and natural light to flow in every unit, and removes the disadvantage of living in a stifling, closed-in community usually associated with condominium living.

Hi,

If anybody is interested or you know anyone looking for a unit here at Illumina. Am selling my two bedroom unit located at 18/floor (Atrium level) it has a total floor area of 68.5 sqm (55 sqm and 13.5 sqm for balcony) along with the parking slot # 168.

You may email me at ramiljuanario@yahoo.com for additional queries. Thanks!

Hi!

I saw a post from the smdc grass residence thread stating the house rules it provides to the unit owners. (See http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1153801&page=88).

Which I am wondering if DMCI Illumina (or any DMCI properties for that matter) also have something similar rules, such as...
1. LPG is not allowed
2. Laundry is not allowed

I feel that it is very restrictive to have these rules especially for residential purposes. Can anybody enlighten me with regards to this? Thanks in advance!
