CITIBANK TOWER
Valero cor. Villar Sts., Salcedo Village, Makati City
Client Citibank N.A. (Phils.)
Architect Pimentel Rodriguez Simbulan & Partners (PRSP)
Strategically located within the Makati Business and Financial District, this 33-storey office headquarters and condominium building presented great challenges for the design team.
With a building site behind an existing 20-year old Citibank Building and Annex, careful attention has been given on how to blend the design of this existing building with the new high-rise headquarters.
Sculpturally, the new Citibank Tower is an assemblage of horizontal masses for the Paseo de Roxas side to blend with the existing tower, while, the Valero side offers tall vertical masses of glass walls combined with horizontal accents of aluminum spandrels.
This tower is basically a series of layers, blending the palette and vocabulary of the existing 20-year old building with that of today’s modern office building.
