As we eagerly anticipate the upcoming rise of The Estate Makati, let’s explore five remarkable residential projects by Foster + Partners.
The Estate Makati, designed by Foster + Partners, will be situated on the last available lot between Ayala Avenue and Apartment Ridge Road. With its cruciform design, this “home in the sky” will enhance the already breathtaking skyline of this prestigious address. Standing 270 meters tall, it boasts the country’s first use of double-slab technology for customizable living spaces. However, beyond the promises of exclusivity and prestige, The Estate Makati is set to become a new landmark in the Philippines.
Foster + Partners, the renowned British design firm, is responsible for this project. Founded by Lord Norman Foster of Thames Bank in 1967, Foster + Partners is synonymous with iconic structures worldwide, including The Gherkin, HSBC Hong Kong, the Millau Viaduct, and the Great Court British Museum, among many others. Their expertise extends beyond architectural design to urban planning and interior/industrial design. With six architectural studios around the globe, the association with Foster + Partners guarantees unparalleled quality and artistic excellence. Still not convinced? Let’s take a look at five residential projects completed by this globally-acclaimed studio.
1. Al Faisaliah Tower (1999): This skyscraper in Saudi Arabia is the country’s first. Standing at 267 meters with 44 floors (30 above ground level), its golden glass sphere near the pinnacle makes it easily recognizable. The tower is part of a larger complex that includes a five-star hotel, a banqueting and conference center, luxury apartments, and a three-story retail mall.
2. Ilham Tower (2015): Rising 274 meters in Kuala Lumpur, Ilham Tower is among the city’s tallest structures. Its distinct geometry and facade were designed to accommodate various functions and purposes. This 60-story tower features the Element Hotel & Spa, event spaces, stores, and offices.
3. The Corniche (2019): Comprising three towers ranging from 15 to 27 stories, The Corniche offers 253 apartments in a sought-after location along the Albert Embankment on the south bank of the River Thames, opposite the Houses of Parliament. Its rounded finish sets it apart from surrounding structures and provides residents with unobstructed city views.
4. The Troika (2010): Also located in Kuala Lumpur, The Troika is a three-tower structure that features a sky lobby. Bridges connecting each building create a unified area with breathtaking views of the city skyline. This project has received prestigious accolades, including the ‘2008 CNBC International Property Awards for Best High-rise Architecture’ and the ‘2012 RIBA International Award.’
5. The Murezzan (2007): Breathing new life into St. Moritz, Switzerland, The Murezzan project involved the renovation and alteration of the Albana Hotel and the Posthotel, as well as the construction of the Chesa apartment building. With 60 residential spaces and a revamped facade, this landscape perfectly complements the nearby Alps.
These five projects demonstrate Foster + Partners’ commitment to excellence, innovation, and artistic design. The upcoming completion of The Estate Makati further solidifies their reputation as one of the world’s premier architectural firms.
