KL Mosaic: Art-chitecture in a luxurious cityscape

MANILA, Philippines - Rising like a majestic work of art amid Makati’s vibrant cityscape, KL Mosaic dazzles the senses and stirs the soul. WV Coscolluela & Associates, one of the country’s top architectural firms who designed this masterpiece, calls it “art-chitecture.” Using only top-of-the-line materials  touches of granite, ceramic, stainless steel, and all that glass and class  they’ve come up with a dream home with a hotel ambience. Picture extravagant spaces, a stunning high-ceiling lobby, three high-speed elevators, luxurious bed and bath fixtures.

If you’re familiar with mosaic art, KL Mosaic is something like that, but this one is an assemblage of probably the finest things that nature and modern living can offer.

A jewel in the sky

“KL Mosaic is a jewel in the city,” gushes Ada Mabilangan with a sparkle in her eyes.

KL Mosaic is a joint venture of Vista Residences and the Kalaw-Ledesma family, represented by its principal Ada Mabilangan.

Home sweet condo: Rising on Gamboa Street in Legazpi Village, Makati, KL Mosaic offers a home to the ambitious yet weary Makati denizen.

Ada rhetorically asks, “Where else could you find the conveniences of city living and yet be surrounded by the greenery of Legazpi Park and Washington SyCip Park?”

A certified urbanite so used to the frenetic pace of living, Ada has discovered her little piece of heaven on earth. She muses, “What is important is that I can maximize my time by not making long commutes to work. What a convenience to live close to work, the Greenbelt Mall, a major hospital and a school  all within walking distance! And yet you’re cocooned in your own unit and you forget the hustle and bustle of the world outside.”

Just her dream place in a city that never sleeps, Ada revels in the fact that KL Mosaic is just a strolling distance to Greenbelt with all its shops and restaurants, the Ayala Museum, and the Greenbelt Chapel all in one place, so close to where the action is!

And if you want a room with a view, you’ll get lots and lots of it at KL Mosaic. Ada is happy to note, “Architect Wili Coscolluela used a hexagonal design to maximize the view from each unit. The building faces the park and there will never be any obstruction built in front of it.”

KL Mosaic is green and proud to bare it. “Architect Coscolluela took into account the sources of light and the flow of air when he designed the building,” Ada points out. “He also specified the use of materials that employ green technology.”

Ada Mabilangan: KL Mosaic is a jewel in the city.

Home is where the art is

Artworks from the Kalaw-Ledesma collection will grace the elegant lobby designed by sisters Ivy and Cynthia Almario. The Kalaw-Ledesma Art Gallery on the ground floor is one unique feature of KL Mosaic that you probably won’t find in other city residential buildings.

Call it “the biggest little room,” accordingto Red Rosales, division head of Vista Residences, the condo development arm of Vista Land and Lifescapes, and one of whose fine products is KL Mosaic. “It adds a fine touch of exclusivity to the latest addition to our ever-growing roster of‘concept’ condominium developments.”

You’re bound to get an art attack when you see the extensive Kalaw-Ledesma art collection of the masters, like Malang, Ang Kiu Kok, Arturo Luz, and other national artists. The “biggest little room” is also a big venue for local artists to hold shows and exhibits.

And if it’s an ideal location you want (of course, who doesn’t want that?), it’s exactly what you’ll get.KL Mosaic sits on a 909-square-meter property in Legazpi Village, right in the heart of the Makati Business District. It scrapes Makati’s bustling skyline with its 32 floors that house 312 units  from chic, cozy studios and one-bedroom flats to posh three-bedroom units up there on the 32nd floor.

Pool of fun: KL Mosaic features modern-day amenities like a swimming pool.

KL Mosaic seamlessly combines the best of art and architecture with the most luxurious hotel amenities in a home you can call your very own amid an oasis in the middle of the city’s concrete jungle.

Art-to-art: The Kalaw-Ledesma Art Gallery houses an extensive art collection of the masters like Malang, Ang Kiu Kok, and Arturo Luz.

I’d say it’s a perfect place to come home to, when the day is done, and recharge one’s weary spirits. Fact is, the day is never done in this bustling, pulsating city. You’re smack in the middle of the action. KL Mosaic is a hop, skip, and a jump away from Legazpi Park, Greenbelt and Glorietta malls, SM, Landmark, Rustan’s, Convergys, RCBC Plaza, Makati Medical Center, Ateneo Business School, Asian Institute of Management, and Makati Post Office.

Now, I can’t think of a finer neighborhood  or a more convenient address in Makati!
