Ayala Land Premier, the upscale residential brand of Ayala Land Inc., has officially introduced Laurean Residences, its latest flagship development located the country’s central business district.
The project, located in Dela Rosa Gardens Makati, reflects a blend of thoughtful design, cultural heritage, and hospitality — setting a new standard for urban living in the city.
The tower is directly connected to Makati’s network of underground and elevated walkways, giving residents easy access to nearby galleries, restaurants, and lifestyle centers. Its pedestrian-friendly environment encourages residents to engage with the city while still having a quiet space to return to.
Laurean Residences rises 65 stories high and features a wide range of living spaces, from 72-square-meter suites to two- and four-bedroom units, including rare bi-level layouts.
Over half a hectare of the property is dedicated to amenities that include wellness lounges, private dining rooms, co-working spaces, and areas designed for relaxation and social connection.
The interiors were designed by Joyce Wang, an internationally recognized interior designer with projects that include The Berkeley in London, The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, and Mott 32 in Cebu.
Wang shared that the creative direction was inspired by three main themes — chess, aviation, and fashion.
“There was a founder of Ayala Land who once compared development to a game of chess,” Wang shares. “One move leads to a bigger strategy. I found that so interesting — so we extracted that as a design language.”
Her team explored the geometry of a chessboard, combined it with the lightness and precision of modern aviation, and softened it with the flowing silhouettes of Manila fashion design. The result is a style that feels both structured and elegant.
“My belief is that space is so powerful, you don’t have to have much. You can make people feel so much,” Wang said.
With Laurean Residences, Ayala Land Premier offers more than a home — it presents a new way of living in the city, where design serves both beauty and function. The project is a reflection of the company’s ongoing commitment to creating spaces that are refined, meaningful, and lasting.
