This November 2012, Century Properties Inc. now launched its 5th tower in Acqua Private Residences! It was inspired by Philippe Starck, one of the most renowned designer in the world.

ACQUA IGUAZU

YOO INSPIRED BY STARCK

Acqua Iguazu is literally rising a bridge away from all the conveniences and attractions of the Makati Central Business District. Just minutes from top schools, the best shopping malls, five star hotels, corporate offices of the nation's top companies, and Makati's exclusive subdivisions.

Located where Brazil and Argentina converge, Iguazu Falls (which in the Guarani language translates to “Big Water”) is the inspiration behind Iguazu Tower. Acqua Iguazu will be the fifth tower to rise in the Acqua Private Residences development, and will be interior designed by the world’s greatest design mind.

Cielo An exclusive sky deck by yoo

yoo inspired by Starck’s design ethos finds its fullest expression in the three levels that crown the tower’s pinnacle.

Cielo features a truly unique multi-level, vibrant space. With a swimming pool, bar, dining area, function rooms, an indoor and outdoor library, a movie room and more, all for the exclusive use of the residents.

And as the iconic design feature of Cielo, a round sphere of light will illuminate the skyline, taking the form of a luminous full moon at night, and the warm rays of the sun during the day. The roof will have a cut out of a quote from The Little Prince written in Starck’s own handwriting, thus creating a truly signature silhouette that will forever change the country’s real estate landscape.

CIELO - THE WONDER BAR AND LIBRARY

The Wonder Bar is located on the first level of Cielo and will be a favourite area for residents to converge in. Guests are invited to enjoy the light, clean and tranquil space of this unique architectural fusion of an indoor/outdoor library during the day and a glamorous cocktail bar at night. With majestic views of the mighty Pasig River down below and yoo inspired by Starck’s iconic “statement sun” that transforms into the “luminous moon” when darkness falls, The Wonder Bar will be an enchanting place to be anytime of the day or night.

CIELO - DINING AREA

Cielo’s top floor provides residents with a truly magnificent dining area, which can be booked privately or used communally. The design of this space evokes a minimal yet delicate mood whilst the statement sun/ luminous moon adds a truly iconic character to the space. The reflection of the suspended moon on a textured mirror amplifies the dreamy feel of the deck. Living walls and vertical landscaping are introduced in several parts of the area to resonate Acqua Private Residences’ general theme of bringing a tropical rainforest into the city. And above the dining room is a cut out in the ceiling of one of Starck’s favourite quotes from “Le Petit Prince” revealing itself in the moonlight.

CIELO - THE MOVIE ROOM

For the ultimate in decadent home living, the second floor of Cielo will be home to a resident’s movie room. This private home theatre is designed to provide full comfort for the residents. Luxuriously sumptuous, hand selected furnishings create an ideal space to enjoy movies of your choice from an extensive media library provided. The imposing black and white image on the ceiling is yoo inspired by Starck’s way of evoking the old world charm of the black and white films from the golden age of cinema.

CIELO - THE POOL

A grand and awe-inspiring multi-level waterfall drops into the calm and refreshing pool, exclusive to Iguazu’s residents. The design of this space is again minimal to accentuate the resounding presence of the waterfall as well as the signature yoo inspired by Starck poolside lounge - including the designer’s iconic floating chairs seemingly residing on the water’s surface.

CIELO - THE LOBBY

A focus for all yoo inspired by Starck’s projects is the skill and process of designing the lobby, and Iguazu’s process was no exception. The long narrow room provided a natural aesthetic in which three frames funnel and exaggerate the length of the room, while providing an interesting focal point to which the eye is drawn. Flowing on is the building’s reception, using as a backdrop a sculptural representation of the moon, echoing that of Cielo’s. Following the same design principle as this sky deck, the ceiling of the lobby also holds a quote from the French book “Le Petit Prince”.

AMENITIES

The Pebble

YOUR COUNTRY CLUB BY THE WATER

“The Pebble” is Acqua’s central amenity structure and the visual focal point of the entire development. A gleaming white, modern interpretation of a smooth river stone, with a large cut out on the front provides an almost window-like vista onto the river.

Boasting of fitness club facilities such as a state-of-the-art total health, wellness and fitness center, a lap pool, a lagoon pool, a basketball court, and more, it truly is your very own country club by the water. At the Pebble’s ground floor is the Riverwalk Promenade. Inspired by Singapore’s Clarke Quay, it features a delightful stretch of restaurants, bars and cafes. Dine by the water, shop in hip young designer stores, and enjoy sensational views of Mandaluyong and Makati, as you experience this first of its kind riverwalk retail paradise.
