John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens when you’re busy making
plans”. Tonight, I will share to you the plans I have been involved with that
made me busy for the past years. In the deeper sense, I will open my life…
“Architecture is not based on concrete and steel,
and the elements of the soil. It's based on wonder.” –Daniel Libeskind
SEVILLE
Model is one of San Miguel Properties Inc.’s 2014 products for the Maravilla
Subdivision. A fifteen hectare development nestled in the heart of General
Trias, Cavite, this subdivision rooted its inspiration and hence its name from
Spain’s GREATNESS. MARVELS. WONDERS… “MARAVILLA”. Guided with such delightful
leitmotif, Seville Model is coined from one of the Treasures of Spain. This
premium place in Spain is aimed to be transported in the mid-range residential
community of this fine model house.
Enthused
with Spanish Mediterranean concept, the model was customized to suit the
cultural and local setting of the market by infusing modern design approaches. The
goal in this project is practicality over strict upkeep of the style definites.
The challenge for us in the design team started here, as to draw these styles
into a singular bold and strong architectural output. The terracotta clay-tiles
roof of an authentic Mediterranean house is simplified and presented through yet
an equally efficient roof pattern and material. Warmth is embraced and adapted as
the very color palette of the façade. Other
visible characteristics of such chosen styles were reflected in the design in
flesh of: the arch on the Stairs’ full length window which breaks the stiff and
edgy geometrics; the false balcony which also serves as a canopy for the entry
porch; the trellis working as horizontal shade for the Living Area’s front window;
and the pre-cast moulding which highlights the vastness of the transitory openings
(doors & windows).
The
design challenge is intensified with the popular dilemma of a mass housing
where the conservatives would void the idea with assertions that no two
buildings should be alike. Recognizing the possible rebuff, we needed to ensure
that we have to create a design that is yet tailor-made to every family we are
to cater. Bruno Munari expressed it as, “An object should be judged by whether it has a form
consistent with its use.”
An
open plan is introduced as to freely maximize spaces. In the same way, this flexible
feature acknowledges further modification under diverse needs. The house model
also has capitalized on sensual comfort, ensuring natural lighting and
ventilation on prime habitable spaces with well-calculated dimensions of
windows. In the same feature, the connection between the exterior and the
interior was fully realized.
“Architecture
is the thoughtful making of space.”
–Louis Kahn
“I
think architecture, to be really intense and fulfilling, doesn't have to be
large”. –Steven Holl
Liveliness
and ease have just the right balance with the Sleek Mediterranean appeal that
shows off the modern classic vibe. We deliver a Spanish-inspired abode that
pampers your sense with a fresh elegance that brings the luxury of a finest
living into your home every day. And finally, let the words of Maya Lin wrap it, “Architecture is like a mythical fantastic. It has
to be experienced. It can't be described. We can draw it up and we can make
models of it, but it can only be experienced as a complete whole.” So take a bounteous
experience of your Spanish aspirations with the collection of contemporary
interiors that is very relative to every theme you could imagine…
“Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent.” –Joe Sparano
