 Sta. Rosa, Laguna

a premium subdivision developed by Ayala Land Premiere

 Fort Global City

Chef’s Table is a contemporary restaurant owned by celebrity

Chef Bruce Lim, a well celebrated chef who hosts world-
renowned tv cooking shows and consults for numerous food
companies. The act of intertwining two designs was chosen
because of its ubiquity in the Filipino culture as can be seen in
different aspects of life – banigs, salakot, salakab, barong
tagalog, vintas, and even the native bahag, just to name a few.
This idea manifested in different levels of the design – in space,
in views, in form, and in materials.

 Quezon City

Constructed over a former bus station, Fisher Mall is a mixed-

use activity complex that pays respect to the client's first and
largest commercial operation as a fish supplier. The area
where Fisher Mall is located was once a hidden gem of the city,
well-known for its nightclubs, before it was created. However,
Fisher Mall has changed the demographics of the people that
visit this part of town since it opened. Constructing a mall that
would promote dining, shopping, and other social activities was
the project's main objective.
 Quezon City

Locals may now easily shop for groceries and other

necessities at Fisher Mall. Their favorite thing about Fisher
Supermarket is the fresh seafood they can get for incredibly
inexpensive pricing. Fisher Mall has brought much-needed
vibrancy and amenities to the neighborhood, which has
undoubtedly improved the mood and ambiance there.

outskirts of Makati City, home to a polluting power plant. In order to
reduce the need for transportation, the master plan for Rockwell
Center carefully connects residential, commercial, institutional, leisure,
office, and religious spaces. Walkability and connectedness are
established via a convenient and safe pedestrian and vehicle
circulation system. Currently, Rockwell Center is a widely
acknowledged example of a mixed-use complex that integrates
amenities that are thoughtfully built, breathing spaces, and walkability.

Cancer and healing patients with the said disease. Some

in a single direction, contaminated particles are kept away
from healthy persons and already afflicted patients are kept
from contracting new illnesses, an infection that can lead to
additional patient losses is reduced.
