Redesigning life
In today’s modern world, form and function mean a lot especially to those who consider convenience and practicality as the proper way of living. This is what the Fort Park Estate Inc. president Jan Vincent Paredes Mercado had in mind when he and YDR Architects, in conjunction with the most respected feng shui expert directly from China, conceptualized and designed the first true garden columbary in the country — Aeternum. That passing away need not be a sad affair. A sanctuary of memories that offers peace and comfort, a modern-day haven that celebrates life. Its unique floral-inspired structure and garden setting is a showcase of nature’s wonders including cutting-edge modern amenities. Lush greenery, man-made lagoon, serene waterfalls, a coffee shop with Wi-Fi Internet access, among others. Marvel at Aeternum’s architectural concept of celebrating life and sharing the message of love.
