True craftsmanship lies in the details, a prerequisite when making a big-ticket purchase such as a future home.
To break down the details of what transforms a home into an oasis, YouTube’s favorite Pinoy Architect Oliver Austria partnered with Woodsville Crest in determining expert-approved features of a condominium.
Generous open spaces
One of the many features Oliver cited are the various open and landscaped areas found in Woodsville Crest. Among the amenities he highlighted are the outdoor pools, picnic groves, pet park, play area and wellness trail. These make Woodsville Crest a relaxing space for urban dwellers seeking refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Ceiling gap, earthy material choices
Shadow gap in the corners of the ceiling helps provide perimeter support in the unit. In terms of colors, the property’s choice of wood and green shades is meant to make residents feel like they’re in an oasis upon entrance.
Atrium design
Having an open space that functions as communal space is important in condominiums. The atrium design of Woodsville Crest follows an open space concept that also extends to the interiors, while the auxiliary lobby also functions as an efficient divider from the residential units. The hallways on the upper floors overlook the lobby, which provides ventilation and avoids the claustrophobic feeling of enclosed spaces.
Seamless space division
Woodsville Crest uses different tiles to create space divisions. This eschews dividers that take up space and are eyesores which work for areas with big spaces. Another trick Oliver recommends, especially in one’s own unit, is using wall accents and different materials to create divisions. He also mentioned the plank tiles on the floor add a point of interest, adding that the marble baseboards included are easier to maintain.
Woodsville Crest’s units are thoughtfully designed so a wall separates the living space from the kitchen without bulky partitions. Using a clear partition in the two-bedroom unit is a good move as it also allows natural lighting into the living room.
Ergonomic laundry design
Laundry can be a headache for condo dwellers because some units have no space for drying clothes. One detail that sets a well-designed unit apart is a dedicated laundry provision — a feature not normally offered by other developments especially in the unit’s balcony.
