We often hear the term “intentional living” in popular culture and on social media from influencers, designers and celebrities. But it’s a concept that traces its roots to ancient philosophies and religious teachings. Today, more than ever, it has become the goal for many people who want to live their best lives.
But what, exactly, is intentional living? It is the foundation for making choices that align with one’s values and priorities rather than societal pressures or personal habits. These are choices that come from a place of meaning and authenticity, with the end goal of living better and happier.
In the context of today’s popular (and much needed) lifestyle movements, intentional living aligns with environmental consciousness, sustainable practices, ethical consumerism and value-driven choices. With these in mind, RHK Land Corporation designed luxury condominium The Velaris Residences North Tower in a way that residents can integrate these choices easily into their daily life.
Strategically located at Bridgetowne along C-5, The Velaris Residences North Tower’s prime address is a short distance from the country’s leading universities in Quezon City, world-class medical centers, and malls around Metro Manila. In fact, daily living is much more convenient because it is part of a 32-hectare estate that combines high-end residences, commercial buildings and leisure spaces, such as the six-level high-end Opus Mall at Bridgetowne does exactly that with its curated shops and dining spots.
The Velaris Residences North Tower lets you envision your own intentional life when you move here.
Starting at the building’s entrance, you’re dropped off at the arrival plaza with its grand lobby awash in earth tones and featuring elegant lighting to welcome you home. Every detail of the architectural and interior design has been curated to create a living environment that feels warm, tranquil and intimate. A signature of Hongkong Land, the earth colors of the tower’s public spaces evoke a warm embrace, fitting right into the intentional living philosophy of The Velaris Residences.
Comfort and style are effortlessly integrated into the living spaces — all the units are designed with the latest technology that lets you control every aspect of your home, from the security to the entertainment systems, making it as convenient as it is luxurious.
The one-bedroom and the 1.5-bedroom suites feature expansive windows that bring in natural light and breathtaking skyline views. Their layout can easily be shaped to the homeowner’s specific design ideas, starting with the foyer and the indoor patio. The open planning of the living and dining areas, meanwhile, integrates the family’s everyday activities whether the parents are cooking while the kids are doing their homework, or with everybody enjoying a movie night in the living room.
The two-bedroom suite’s large foyer leads to a walkway where they can display their art collection. The main space is an expansive living area surrounded by windows, and a dining area with an open kitchen and custom cabinetry. Behind this space is a closed kitchen that’s more hardworking for when homeowners throw parties or intimate dinners.
The master bedroom can be designed to have a sitting area or a small office nook with bookshelves while the en-suite bathroom is every inch luxurious with its attached walk-in closet. Here, they can decide which gets the bigger closet space: bags, shoes or clothes. The second bedroom is just as elegant with its custom wardrobe and dresser. Just off the bedrooms is the common toilet and bath that guests can also use.
The three-bedroom suite has an even more spacious foyer and walkway for art and collections. Modern art would look so good here—perhaps one of Arturo Luz’s black and red “Cities of the Past” series, where his love of symmetry would go hand in hand with the vertical wooden panels. The space is big enough to have recessed storage that disappears with the soft lighting of the foyer.
The living area is swathed in natural light from the picture windows with priceless views. These windows are not just pretty, they’re also environment-friendly that they keep the electricity usage down with their energy-efficient features.
The dining area and open kitchen doubles the seating with the counter serving as a dining table too, while the closed kitchen is always ready to be used for those big dinners and exotic meals.
The master bedroom is a true retreat that looks out to panoramic views on one side and the huge walk-in closet, which also undoubtedly provides a good view (of your fashion collection). The en-suite bathroom features a spacious double sink and separate shower stall and toilet. Attached to the master bedroom is a family room that can be turned into a TV room, a display for your collectibles, or a home gym.
The second and third bedrooms each have their own bathrooms but the third bedroom has an extra space that can be converted into a home office within the room. Both the two-bedroom and three-bedroom suites feature a utility or helper’s room with its own bathroom.
The three-bedroom premium unit redefines the word “exclusive” in condo living with its own private lift and lobby. Yes, only the residents of the unit can access this as it leads to the front door and foyer, setting the tone for the rest of the unit where privacy, convenience and luxury are key.
Homeowners can decide whether to keep the space open in the living and dining room areas or make it more formal with internal walls or divisions. As with the bigger units, a closed kitchen is attached to the main one. The family room in this unit is bigger and can be converted to whatever you need it for. Perhaps a home office or crafts room—or maybe even a playroom for the little ones.
The most premium unit in The Velaris Residences North Tower, this has a master bedroom that is so big it can have a working space and a dresser flanking the king bed. On one side is a grand wardrobe and the bathroom with spacious shower and toilet stalls, plus a bathtub.
The junior master bedroom and the third bedroom come with en-suite bathrooms while a powder room outside serves guests. Like the bigger units, there’s a utility room with its own
toilet and bath.
The beauty of The Velaris Residences North Tower is that while it is part of the Bridgetowne community, it also has its own community of residents. For them, RHK designed world-class amenities that cater to every family member.
The building offers entire floors of amenities that range from a fully-equipped fitness center to a Sky Lounge. The amenities blend quiet relaxation and active sports, featuring a sculpture garden, indoor sento, wet and dry sauna, outdoor fitness station, and a badminton and pickleball court on the fifth level. The sixth level podium boasts a treetop playground, camping grounds, kids club, garden lounge with floating daybeds, banquet hall, pool bar and family deck, an Olympic-length infinity pool, party pool with underwater seating, kids pool, and a lifestyle gym with dance & cycling studios.
On the 40th level, residents can indulge in their hobbies. You don’t have to step out of the building to enjoy a quiet night of wine and cheese, or perhaps whiskey and cigar. The Velaris SkyClub is a complex that houses amenities for more sedate activities and hobbies. The SkyClub features a private theater, game room, wine gallery, cigar room, casual and gourmet dining areas. This is also where the signature SkyLounge, SkyBar, and SkyDeck are located.
For those who appreciate an active lifestyle, the fitness center offers state-of-the-art equipment and a serene space for yoga and stretching. If relaxation is more your style, the rooftop lounge provides the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy a glass of wine, and take in the stunning views.
The Velaris Residences North Tower is no ordinary place to live. It’s an elevated living experience that lets you be your authentic self, living your best life—with intention and purpose.
