ORE Center
Manila, Philippines
In accommodating a strict floor-area ratio (FAR), this new building tapers as it rises, distinguishing itself from neighboring towers and providing varying-sized floor plates and distinctive vertical gardens while meeting the client’s goal of timeless simplicity. Serving as the company’s administrative headquarters as well as general offices, the headquarter level enjoys a private-access ground-floor entry and elevator. Various other spaces lend themselves to after-hours events and a range of other uses, including a fitness center, medical clinics and food services. Generous public open spaces throughout the building offer uncompromised views of Fort Bonifacio and beyond.
