Gem in the South: How Likha Residences Cultivates a Vibrant Filipino Community

Set apart as a remarkable horizontal development within the city, Likha Residences fosters a sustainable community where families can flourish

In recent years, the evident trend in real estate is going vertical: condominium buildings are taller and as abundant as ever, while residential offerings only seem to be getting smaller. With the recent pandemic inspiring a notable shift in many homeowners’ priorities, PHINMA Prism, the developer of Manila Polo Club townhouses and Mariposa Villas, is proud to be among the forerunners of a re-enlivened movement that celebrates the down-to-earth feel of a traditional Filipino home.

Likha Residences, PHINMA Prism’s triumphant return to the premium market, offers an accommodating, low-density community in a premier location south of Manila. Situated close to exclusive subdivisions like Hillsborough and Alabang Hills as well as schools like Southridge and San Beda Alabang, the horizontal enclave is a viable option for small, starter families and multigenerational households alike, where they can look forward to living in the metro without feeling trapped within the hustle and bustle of the city.

Presenting a choice of designers townhomes by the celebrated architectural firm, Mañosa & Co, Likha Residences is considered one of the final projects of the late National Artist for Architecture Francisco “Bobby” Mañosa, and was completed by his son Angelo Mañosa. Every aspect of the development is distinguished by its finely crafted look, which masterfully weaves elements of the humble bahay kubo into luxurious, contemporary rudiments.

Sporting a warm, earth-toned palette, Likha Residences’ three to four-storey homes boast many striking yet familiar features. Wide awning windows invite natural light and fresh breezes into one’s well-appointed dwellings, while broader señorita steps provide convenience and safety for residents of all ages. The kitchen’s wash area comes with a banggerahan, a pleasurable recollection of the past where dishes are placed to dry. There are lastly several built-in fixtures made of native materials, which impeccably highlight fine Filipino craftsmanship at every turn.
