Ayala Land Premier recently held an exclusive event, The Art of Design: A Conversation with Yabu Pushelberg, at The Conservatory in The Peninsula Manila. This intimate gathering marked the official introduction of the globally acclaimed design firm to the Philippines, offering guests an inspiring preview of their vision for Park Villas, a luxury residential project set in Makati’s Central Business District.
Park Villas is a significant milestone for Yabu Pushelberg, led by celebrated designers George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg, as it represents their first venture in the Philippines.
“Our design philosophy begins the moment you step through the door or exit the elevator. It’s not just about the materials we use, but about the quality and essence of the space itself. We focus on how it feels, how it flows, and how it enhances the experience of those who live there,” shared George Yabu during the event.
A global design pedigree
Renowned for their ability to create transformative and timeless spaces, Yabu Pushelberg has an impressive portfolio that includes the Four Seasons New York Downtown, Aman Residences Tokyo, and Park Hyatt Shenzhen. The firm’s distinct approach to blending modernity with timeless sophistication has solidified its reputation across the globe.
Glenn Pushelberg highlighted the thoughtful design approach behind Park Villas, stating, “This project was crafted with people in mind. The clientele of Park Villas are individuals who have seen the world in all its grandeur — many of them likely own properties across the globe. It was crucial for us to design at that level of sophistication. At the same time, we wanted to weave in the subtle nuances of Filipino life and bring an experience that can only truly be appreciated here.”
Exclusivity and elegance redefined
Park Villas promises to redefine luxury living in Makati. Located across the iconic Ayala Triangle Gardens, this exclusive development offers unmatched privacy, with only 45 villas in total. Each villa spans an impressive 610 square meters and occupies an entire floor, creating an expansive and intimate living experience.
A joint venture between Ayala Land, Inc. and the Tagle Group, Park Villas reflects the collaboration of local expertise and global design innovation.
“Our partnership in Park Villas promises to deliver one of the finest living experiences in the country and represents a leap forward for Ayala Land Premier,” said Joseph Carmichael Jugo, President of Ayala Land Premier. “We are confident that with Yabu Pushelberg, we can integrate global best practices with our own innovations and continue to help reshape Makati as a hub of culture, creativity, and commerce.”
Vincenzo Tagle, Managing Director of Griffinstone, Inc., also emphasized the synergy between the two firms. “Yabu Pushelberg’s renowned design philosophy, which marries elegance with functionality, has brought our vision into reality. Their innovative approach makes us excited about the transformative impact we will make on Park Villas and the lives of those who call it home.”
With its unparalleled location, thoughtful design, and dedication to creating exceptional living spaces, Park Villas is poised to set a new standard for luxury living in the heart of Makati.
