The neighbourhood is more than just a residential destination; Rockwell South at Carmelray is a harmonious blend of convenience, luxury, and nature. Here one will find wide roads lined with a waterway that lead to the gated entrances of the residential clusters. To seamlessly integrate nature into its fabric, the community also has a wealth of pocket parks spread across the estate, as well as the Rockwell Country Club at its heart as a place of leisure. 

Currently, Donna enjoys cultivating her creative spirit by watching films, enjoying restaurant experiences with her husband, and the usual spin class at Saddle Row. Choosing to start planning for a home in Laguna was made easier knowing that she and her family can maintain the lifestyle they enjoy now in their future address.

At Rockwell South at Carmelray, Donna can enjoy the Country Club’s pool and multi-purpose courts, as well as entertain friends at its clubhouse. For Reynard, with a manufacturing plant in Silang, Cavite, it will only be a quick drive away from the community. Even Karling has a dedicated space to run free and play at the Dog Park.

The development is also an hour's drive away from Makati City, making it accessible to the urban comforts they’ve grown to love. It being surrounded by retail and dining destinations, groceries, hospitals, and churches, also means that this community in Canlubang, Laguna, is also still within reach of life's necessities.

“Our decision to start building our home in Rockwell South at Carmelray was also partly because of our collaboration with Royal Pineda+ Architecture•Design,” Donna shares. “His proposal aligned perfectly with the lot size and with Carmelray's nature-filled concept.”  

Architect Royal Pineda is designing a three-storey modern Filipino home for the Chua family, replete with a dedicated entertainment space, man cave, and four bedrooms for ultimate relaxation. His ingenuity is evident as he seamlessly incorporated architecture with the natural environment. The house features solar panels and generous openings that let natural light and refreshing breeze in to save on aircon and electricity costs. Everything about the house is bespoke. Since the homeowners are founders of City Shutter, Inc., steel and metal doors specialists and special fabricators of steel works, the design showcases custom perforated metal fins that act as brise soleil. 

Their advice to future residents considering building their homes in Rockwell South at Carmelray is both insightful and motivating: “Start the process as soon as you can,” Reynard said. “By doing so, you can play a part in shaping and building the community more effectively.” 

Having become familiar with the convenience of the Rockwell lifestyle from Makati, Donna and Reynard have chosen this address in the south as they transition to the next chapter of their lives. At Rockwell South at Carmelray, the couple and their family will be able to enjoy the comforts they’ve been accustomed to over time, but in a refreshing new residence, they’ll soon call home.
