ALL - ASIA CAPITAL TOWER
Paseo de Roxas St., Legaspi Village, Makati City
Client All-Asia Capital and Leasing Corporation
Architect Pimentel Rodriguez Simbulan & Partners (PRSP)
This project started with the commissioning of the firm to design for additional two (2) office floors for the existing 8-storey All-Asia Capital Headquarters. However, after careful studies and design deliberations together with our structural consultant, Aromin Sy & Associates, we boldly presented to the Owners an alternative design wherein a 17-storey tower can be built behind the existing 8-storey structure.
The design challenges were due to the existing basement floor which was built on the entirety of the property and the very narrow and usable lot area available for the new tower. These were solved by boring through the existing basement floor to give way for the new columns and strategically locating them at areas where the new foundation can be built. The office floor plate’s efficiency was taken cared of by an effective core design and a cantilevered projection of the floor plate over the existing building.
