MANILA, Philippines - One Shangri-La Place personifies luxury living in an urban, cosmopolitan setting. This 64-storey twin tower residential condominium will soon rise at the gateway of the 8.5-hectare Shangri-La Place integrated community, located at the heart of the Ortigas Center business district.
Designed by Palmer and Turner Hong Kong in collaboration with Casas + Architects, One Shangri-La Place captures the best of both worlds 5-star-living and the warmth of a place to call home. Over 1, 300 residential units will be located atop the six-level retail podium of the Shangri-La Plaza expansion, which will have approximately 150 new upscale retail and dining options, and is right across the five-star Edsa Shangri-La, Manila, with its world-class CHI, the Spa at Shangri-La.
Recently, One Shangri-La Place unveiled its show suite located at Level 1 of Shangri-la Plaza mall. Designed by BTR Hong Kong, the show flat’s interiors are a mix of several opposing symbolisms – solidity, lightness, coziness, modernity, warmth, and freshness – which when combined, are in fact, complementary. The interior designers say that this is a paradigm that seems to shorten the distance between dreams and achievements, an antidote to the boredom of traditional houses.
As you enter the showroom, you are greeted by Nero peppering granite walls overlaid with off white silhouette blinds in varying heights and widths. The long central “catwalk” is made of engineered wood flanked by glossy black stone; while the entrance speaks of its own identity, the harmonious space is balanced with richness and luxury.
At the center of this mix is the two-bedroom 131 sq m unit, which evokes not only a home but also a lifestyle like no other. With a ceiling height of 2.5 meters, the creative use of space gives a total effect that is warm and roomy.
32 floors up, the unit showcases the breathtaking views of the city through large windows and glass doors located in well-planned areas, making for a luxurious high-rise living experience.
Residents will take pleasure in the spacious and exquisitely crafted interior design of the unit, complemented by the sleek clean lines of the custom made furnishings and the luxurious feel of the imported European fabrics.
The beech engineered flooring in neutral monochromatic colors perfectly complements the wall panels in Santorini veneer and the living room accent wall tiled in limestone in varying depths and dimensions. A life-size wrought iron artwork dominates one end of the room.
The floor to ceiling windows in the master’s bedroom show feature stunning cityscapes, as well as a roomy walk-in closet with open fully veneered shelves, panels and cabinets with back lighting, which gives it a neat and efficient look. The suite’s master’s bath features stone tile flooring accentuated with decorative laminates and elegant fixtures from Toto, his and hers sinks, and a tub and rain shower.
The second bedroom, which can be used as a guest room or den, features cabinets paneled in white leather and an accent wall in a shimmery fabric. A separate toilet and bath also serves as the guest powder room.
The kitchen is a gourmets’ dream, fully equipped with a refrigerator, oven and range hood, washer and dryer from GE Monogram and custom built cabinets from Hacker Germany. Behind the kitchen is the maid’s room with a built in wall mounted bed, as well as the maid’s bathroom.
As with all Shang Properties developments, One Shangri-La Place’s luxurious amenities and facilities rival even the best 5-star hotels in the country.
The One Shangri-La Place Sales Offices and Model Unit are located at Level 1 of Shangri-La Plaza mall, beside Mercury Drug Store. For inquiries, call 634-5678, 634-8080, 634-8111 or e-mail sales@theoneshangri-laplace.com.
