Bringing a new paradigm to the high-rise residential property landscape, premier real- estate developer Robinsons Land Corp. continues to deliver innovations in the industry with its first residential project in Makati City. Located at the corner of Valero and Rufino streets in Salcedo Village, Signa Designer Residences a two-tower, 29-story upscale condominium development, introduces a fresh and new concept in the market, as the first and only designer residences in the Philippines.

The joint venture between Robinsons Land Corp. and Security Land Corp. goes beyond traditional residential developments by offering more than just a luxury living, but also a living work of art. Complementing Makati’s dynamism is a home of a masterpiece that will come to fruition through the artistic vision of three big names in Philippine design and architecture: furniture and space designer Antonio “Budji” Layug, architect Royal Pineda and furniture designer Kenneth Cobonpue.

Pineda is the managing and designing partner at Budji Layug + Royal Pineda Design Architects. He honed his skills and creativity at the firm of National Artist for Architecture Leandro Locsin. He has created a number of luxury projects here and in Asia, such as The Trees in Bangkok, The Coper in Kuala Lumpur and Grand Napalai in Phuket.

Cobonpue is an internationally recognized furniture designer, having won the 2005 Design for Asia Award of Hong Kong, Asia’s highest award, for his Lolah chair. He received his degree in Industrial Design from the Pratt Institute in New York, and obtained professional and academic experience from Italy and Germany.  Among Cobonpue’s clients are actor Brad Pitt and Warner Bros.

The project sets a tone for an artist-inspired environment that promotes a well-balanced lifestyle. Elements of architecture, interior and space design, and furniture design are coming together beautifully to provide not only aesthetics but also functional design in a landmark project that is Signa Designer Residences.

As with the contemporary masterpieces that the three admired designers have produced in their individual endeavors, Signa Designer Residences’ look and feel will be thoroughly organic and exquisitely tropical. It will reflect the designers’ philosophies—Layug’s beautiful and peaceful living spaces, Pineda’s modern and tropical design, and Cobonpue’s innovative use of local organic materials for modern craft.

Bringing the outdoors in

Signa Designer Residences breathes life to the vision of bringing back the Makati of old, back in the days when the city was open and green. This will be about lightness and openness, about bringing the outdoors in, so that when residents come home from work or elsewhere, it will be like walking home to a beautiful garden.

The country’s first and only designer urban haven will surely become an inviting home for weary urbanites. Its lobby and amenities will feature tropical gardens and beautiful landscapes, while the lobby’s glass windows shall allow natural light to come in, making the project a sanctuary in the middle of a busy city.

Its entire second level shall house its amenities, which include a function room, adults’ and kiddie pool, massage and therapeutic rooms, meditation enclave, private theater, kids’ play room, game rooms, reading and tea room and a gym.

Choices for modern urbanites

Single, two-, and three-bedroom units, ranging from 33 to 93 square meters, are offered in Signa Designer Residences; units with and without balcony are available.

Three finishing options—the Luxe, Designer Luxe and Cobonpue Series—provide stylish choices to come with the luxurious address.
