BDO-EQUITABLE BANK TOWER
Paseo de Roxas St., Salcedo Village, Makati City
Client Unicorn First Properties, Inc.
Architect Pimentel Rodriguez Simbulan & Partners (PRSP)
This 30-storey office headquarters symbolizes the strength and dynamism of a banking institution. The transmission of light and the dynamic tension of elements combine as the guiding forces of the design.
The building’s design is a 3-tier massing of slender vertical blocks resting on a podium that covers the entire site. Taking advantage of the wonderful scenery that Ayala Triangle Park offers, the building is extensively cladded in low-E tinted glass combined with thin strips of aluminum cladding. The crown is emphasized by slender curved elements of glass and aluminum sunscreens.
The tower is distinctive architecturally yet responsive to the surroundings and trend in modern design and technology
