Japanese design is known for its eternal elegance, unparalleled utility, and elegant simplicity. These components, which emphasize balance, harmony, and a close relationship with nature in dwellings, have inspired residential architecture and interior design.
One of the best examples of Japanese design’s increasing popularity in the Philippines is the Grand Midori Ortigas. The Ortigas Central commercial District (CBD) is home to this upscale residential complex, which aims to provide inhabitants with a calm and well-balanced living in the middle of Metro Manila’s bustling commercial district.
The Grand Midori Ortigas’s two towers’ mesh-designed façade demonstrate the development’s commitment to superior architecture. It has elaborate weaving designs that draw inspiration from traditional Japanese art. Large windows and strategically located living areas inside optimize natural light and ventilation. Residents can experience a smooth flow of energy in a peaceful and practical setting thanks to these components.
Top-notch design influenced by the fundamental
To make all of these Japanese design ideas a reality, real estate developer Federal Land partnered with the famous architectural firm Tange Associates.
As demonstrated by their work on famous buildings like the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, St. Mary’s Cathedral Tokyo, Tokyo Aquatics Centre, and Yoyogi National Stadium, Tange Associates, headed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Kenzo Tange and his son Paul Tange, is renowned for fusing traditional Japanese artistry with contemporary viewpoints.
In order to create a distinctive living environment that is both charming and functional, Federal Land relied on Tange Associates’ inventiveness to authentically incorporate Japanese design and innovation into the architecture of The Grand Midori Ortigas.
Tange claims that the elegant façade of the Grand Midori Ortigas blends the Japanese “tatami” and the Filipino “banig” to create a flowing weaving pattern that gives off a cozy sense of Filipino home.
The horizontal and vertical louvers on the façade also act as a sunshade and a type of temperature control measure to enhance airflow and quality. A unique living experience for thoughtful and modern urbanites is provided by the interior amenity spaces, which are influenced by the Japanese ideas of “wabi-sabi,” which means to find beauty in imperfection, and “miyabi,” which is described as the expression of elegance and refinement.
Ideally situated in the center of the Metro
The Grand Midori Ortigas, which is located in Ortigas Center along Exchange Road, provides residents with easy access to major commercial districts, retail malls, educational institutions, medical facilities, and transportation hubs.
Professionals working in both districts can now easily commute between Ortigas and Bonifacio Global City (BGC) thanks to the recently built BGC-Ortigas Link Bridge, also called the Kalayaan Bridge. Future infrastructural initiatives like the Ortigas Greenway Project and the Metro Manila Subway System also help the growth.
Additionally, the economic recovery and post-pandemic return-to-office mandates are driving an increase in demand for residential rentals in the Ortigas CBD. Property values in the neighborhood are anticipated to increase as adjacent infrastructure projects are completed, making The Grand Midori Ortigas a sensible investment option for discriminating purchasers.
Top-notch facilities for a well-rounded lifestyle
The Grand Midori Ortigas’s incorporation of nature into its architecture sets it apart from the bustling Ortigas CBD. The building’s amenity floor features a natural outdoor space with lush, green paths connecting different amenities.
Surrounded by beautifully planted grounds, the outdoor features include a lap pool, a children’s pool, a pool lounge, and a jacuzzi. The complex also has a well-designed Zen garden and a children’s outdoor play area, providing homeowners with a peaceful haven for rest and meditation.
Indoor facilities include a game room for entertainment, a yoga room for those seeking inner peace, a fitness center for health aficionados, and a lounge area for rest. There is a special playroom for families with kids, and professionals and students will value the conference room and study lounge. The multipurpose space is also perfect for holding parties and get-togethers.
Upgraded urban living
A range of apartment options are available at the Grand Midori Ortigas to accommodate various requirements and tastes. Studios that are 35–38 square meters and large three-bedroom apartments that are 105–109 square meters are among the available units.
All units are fitted with balconies that can serve as personal spaces where inhabitants can enjoy a moment of isolation or indulge in urban gardening.
Additionally, layout and functionality are prioritized in each unit’s design to give occupants the most living space possible. Residents are allowed to customize their homes to suit their preferences and lifestyle requirements thanks to the units’ effective design.
The Grand Midori Ortigas presents Flex Suites in Tower 2 in response to the varied needs of modern homeowners. The Flex Space, a 30-square-meter multipurpose space, is included with these 64-square-meter one-bedroom apartments. This space is perfect for individuals who need flexible living arrangements because it may be used as a studio, home office, fitness room, or nursery. As a result, these units’ adaptability guarantees that the condominium can accommodate a variety of lifestyles, from young professionals to expanding families.
Enhanced quality of life
The Zen style of life, which comes from the Japanese word Zen, which meaning “meditation” or “absorption,” is centered on finding balance, living in the present, and developing inner peace. This idea is reflected in the layout and atmosphere of the Grand Midori Ortigas, which offers residents a haven from the pressures of city life.
In the meantime, the development’s dedication to fostering a tranquil and harmonious living environment is further highlighted by the name Midori, which translates to “green” in Japanese.
The property provides people with a revitalizing urban retreat because it is surrounded by lush environments. The Grand Midori Ortigas offers locals a singular chance to establish a connection with nature, even in the center of the city, in an area where green areas are frequently scarce.
For its outstanding architecture and design, the Grand Midori Ortigas has won praise from both domestic and foreign audiences. The project has won numerous prestigious awards, such as the 2022 International Property Awards Asia-Pacific’s Best Residential High-Rise Architecture, the 2023 PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards’ Best Condo Architectural Design and Highly Commended for Best High-End Condo Development (Metro Manila), and, most recently, the 2024 PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards’ Best CBD Development.
