There are many ways to make a small condo unit a comfortable and appealing place to live in. Three interior design firms – Songsong & periquet, GMM Designs and the Chat Fores Design Studio- demonstrated how to achieve this and turn a condo unit into a real home with a series of model units they created for a new condominium called Belton Place.
Rendering a 30-square meter one-bedroom unit, the design team of Songsong & Periquet decided to create a contemporary look infused with modern Asian touches. “We took the best of Filipino items, such as our trademark material ebony wood, and blended it with Oriental design elements,” says Joel L. Songsong, a partner of Songsong & Periquet.
Songsong & Periquet also made creative use of lighting, mirrors, textures, and colors to achieve a cozy atmosphere and create the illusion of space. The overall look of their one-bedroom design is sophisticated and distinctly Asian.
Grace and Chit Milan of GMM Designs, who worked on a 21-square meter studio unit, likewise employed a contemporary design for the space, this time with the use of warm woods in mocha, pumpkin and turmeric hues amid comfortable surroundings. “We has to make certain that the space can easily accommodate a couple, so we created a layout that welcomes this possibility. Our model unit boasts of a platform bed and an unusual closet configuration – elements that maximize the use of space,” explains Grace.
With such a flexible layout, GMM Designs was able to visually expand the unit without losing the basic elements needed in a home, while cleverly creating an area where residents can shut off the busy world of business.
The 21-square meter studio unit designed by Chat Fores incorporates Belton Place’s wellness concept. Fores imparted an earthy feel to her model unit not only with the use of brown, but also with the use of another strong accent: wallpaper with a leafy, fossilized design, “I drew my design inspiration from young couples. Its unique features are the wallpaper and practical furniture I used. I have a round daybed that doesn’t really look like a bed or sofa,” Fores says.
Belton Place is located at the corner of Pasong Tamo Avenue and Malugay St. in Makato City.
From the developer of The Eton Residences Greenbelt, Eton Baypark Manila, Eton Emerald Lofts and Eton Parkview Greenbelt comes another exciting investment opportunity in bustling Makati City – Belton Place.

Eton Properties Philippines, Inc. (EPPI), the real estate arm of taipan Lucio Tan, will soon start the construction of two information technology hubs in Quezon City and Ortigas to take advantage of the growth in the country’s business process outsourcing (BPO) industry.
In a press briefing yesterday, EPPI president Danilo Ignacio said the two new projects – Eton Cyberpod Corinthian and Eton Cyberpod Centris – are aimed at addressing the expected shortage in office buildings by 2008.
However, he did not indicate how much the group is spending for these new projects.
Located in the prime and only remaining large and undeveloped land along EDSA corner Quezon Avenue, Centris will comprise the development of seven low-rise office buildings with a total floor area of 168,000 square meters. The first of the seven buildings to rise is a 12-storey structure, offering 18,000 sq.m. of office space.
Ignacio said the company is set to break ground for Centris on Dec. 8.
He said Centris forms part of a 12-hectare, mixed-use and fully integrated community which will include a shopping district, a luxury residential cluster and a businessman’s hotel.
Cyberpod Corinthian, on the other hand, will have three four-storey office buildings within a 1.1 hectare property located at the corner of Ortigas Avenue and EDSA fronting Robinsons Galleria. Each building can accommodate 12,000 sq.m. of lease space. The first building of this development is slated for completion by the second half of 2008.
Other projects recently launched by the company include Belton Square, a mixed-use development masterplanned for three residential condominiums, an office tower and businessman’s hotel, One Archers Place and the integrated township Eton Mega City in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
Since the beginning of the year, EPPI has already launched eight projects including The Eton Residences Greenbelt, Eton Emerald Lofts, Eton Baypark Manila and Eton Parkview Greenbelt.
EPPI has extensive land holdings in prime locations. The company’s strength lies on the financial muscle and reputation of the Lucio Tan Group of Companies, the management’s excellent record and administration experience, aggressive sales, marketing and promotional efforts, and the synergy within the wide network of businesses within the group.

ETON Properties Philippiens Inc., the property arm of tobacco tycoon Lucio Tan, plans to develop the one-hectare former Squibb property in Makati into a mixed-use development.
An official said Eton would put up three residential projects, one office building catering to business process outsourcing companies and one businessman’s hotel. The former Squibb property is also owned by the Lucio Tan Group.
The residential component of the project aims to capture middle-income earners. Eton is currently developing seven other projects involving hotels, residential condominiums, retirement village, high-rise buildings and leisure and resort.
It has launched three of the projects. These are Eton Greenbelt Residences, Makati. Eton Emerald Loft in Ortigas Center and Eton Baypark Manila located along Roxas Boulevard.
The high-rise residential projects cater to Filipino workers overseas, Filipino-Chinese businessmen, entrepreneurs and executives working within Metro Manila.
The company is also set to launch its first BPO project located in Ortigas Center.
The group is also preparing the master plan for the development of a 10-hectare property at Edsa corner Quezon Avenue and a 36-hectare property at Mactan, Cebu for possible hotel, residential, leisure and retirement village projects as well as huge property in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
Ignacio said the company was also planning to launch a high-rise condominium project near La Salle Taft by the first half of 2008. Eton Properties is targeting students from La Salle as potential buyers. The company will offer studio and one-bedroom unit for this project.
Eton is also looking at the possibility of forging tie-ups with other Lucio Tan-owned companies.
It recently teamed up with Philippine Airlines to promote Eton Emerald Lofts. A 41-story residential condominium project offering a total of 1,000 condominium units.
Most of the properties being developed by Eton Properties are owned by Philippine National Bank and Allied Banking Corp., both owned by the taipan. Eton aims to be one of the top real estate developers in the country.
