Inspired by the serenity of a traditional Balinese village, DMCI Homes unveiled the Clubhouse of East Raya Gardens last month.

Located in the middle of the 2.9-hectare property in Pasig City, East Raya Gardens’ Clubhouse displays modern Balinese architecture. It is complemented by lush Balinese gardens and water features which enhances the striking profile of the roof crowns, finials and lattice fascia accents that is traditional Balinese.

Rina Soriano, DMCI Homes Architectural Design manager, said that Balinese architecture was especially selected for East Raya Gardens following the success of Raya Gardens – another themed residential development by DMCI Homes in Parañaque City.

“There was a clamor for us to repeat the theme of a sanctuary in the city, which is very appealing to our residents’ fast-paced lifestyle. Everybody seeks a sanctuary where they can de-stress and relax after a toxic day at work. We have that here at east Raya Gardens,” said Soriano.

Muted earth tones of wood, bamboo and natural stones dominate the clubhouse. It is connected to the residential buildings through walkways designed with ponds and gardens.

Soriano also said that air and sunlight flow freely around the clubhouse area – making for a more relaxing atmosphere. Indoor amenities include a function hall and air-conditioned multi-purpose hall for social and corporate occasions; a view deck to enjoy the surrounding vista; a bar and entertainment room; and a well-equipped fitness gym. The clubhouse also offers services such as a water station, laundry pick-up station, and convenience store. It also offers Wi-Fi connectivity.

“For the interiors, furniture is low and inviting, enhancing the high-ceiling which gives a feel of airiness. The lighting gives off a warm glow further creating a relaxing effect,” she added.

Outdoor amenities also invite residents to spend time at the clubhouse. There’s an infinity pool; a kiddie pool, shower area, poolside lounge, basketball court, koi pond, and Balinese landscaped
gardens with gazebos, stone lanterns, arbor trellis, and carved stone panels.

“The predominance of water as seen in the surrounding lotus ponds and swimming pools enhance the tropical look, along with the use of wide-leafed and lush greenery showing a palette of colors and textures. Sandstone ornaments add accent and interest to quiet nooks and corners,” Soriano noted.

East Raya Gardens is located along Mercedes Avenue, Pasig City. The project offers two-bedroom (56.5 and 64.0 sqm) and three-bedroom (88 sqm) unit options. All units come with a balcony and a service area located at the roof deck
