Another Rockwell first: The indoor gardens of Edades
edadesROCKWELL Land draws on the traditions of art in the yard and the growing spirit of environmentalism in its newest residential project, the Edades Tower and Garden Villas. To those who choose to live in the heart of Makati and still reimagine more green in their controlled spaces, Edades is the answer. It’s a new concept in Manila condo living: units where squaremeters of space are devoted to gardens. The Garden Villas form a landscaped cluster of townhome-like, bi-level units that extend from the main tower. Each unit also comes with more opportunities for greening, with lawn areas providing ornamental and horticultural options as larger yards. In the two-story garden villa, freeflowing hedges, colorful climbers and vines on pergolas, arbors and arches are even possible.

The tower’s Garden Z-Lofts have also turned convention on its head. Each Z-Loft spills out to warm sunshine by having a sizeable garden deck. The garden itself makes for a tranquil retreat in Makati. The gardens of Rockwell’s Edades—not a strike against urbanization, but a way of imagining an increasingly modernized world as functioning and spiritually enriching, for people who want to keep nature close to their beds, though sky-high. Watch for the model unit unveiling in March. For more info, call 793-0088.
