MAGNOLIA PLACE CLUBHOUSE

A common place to gather the family within the heart of this community in Quezon City will fulfill its function once the gates are opened and units are turned over this month at Magnolia Place along Tandang Sora Avenue.

DMCI Homes considers the clubhouse as the focal point of every development. It is a functional and recreational structure that provides young families achieve a wholesome lifestyle. As with every community, Magnolia Place will have its clubhouse located near the center of this 3.29-hectare property as a place for residents to relax, enjoy some bonding time and recreation, along with providing other services such as a fitness gym, convenience store, and multi-purpose function hall.

A tropical resort theme was selected as the design concept for the community. This theme is presented all around the development especially at the clubhouse, as this is the residents’ common convergence point.

Arch. Rina Soriano, DMCI Homes’ Architectural Design Manager, said that every clubhouse of a DMCI Homes community is incorporated with design solutions that are site-specific. In the case of Magnolia Place, they maximized the space allotted for the clubhouse to come up with an expansive total floor area of more than 1,000 sqm.

“The clubhouse has three levels, including a lower ground floor.
Its façade and earth tone colors mirror the style of the entrance gate as well as the condo buildings to achieve uniformity throughout the development. For this we relied on Asian architecture that is free-flowing, infused with big windows and openings but with our own local touches such as louvers on the roof, cozy furniture and lush landscaping,” she said.

The ground level presents a vast open area that allows the entry of natural light and ventilation – a common attribute among DMCI Homes clubhouses. Comfortable seating areas extend the relaxed and free-flowing feel of the space. It also has an air conditioned meeting room that can be used for meetings and small functions such as a quiet dinner that can seat up to 12 people. There is also a storage room at the back which can be converted into a pantry.

On the lower ground level, more amenities can be found. A game room offers recreation options, while an entertainment room can be reserved for casual gatherings or private movie viewings. The Property Management Office is located there to provide assistance to residents, while a convenience store, water refilling station and laundry pick-up station serve as accessible sources for various household needs.

Less than a year since the project was launched in 2009, the clubhouse was completed ahead of schedule in anticipation of the turnover for Magnolia Place’s first two buildings in February: Liana and Verawood. This community of 12 medium-rise condominiums is strategically located along Tandang Sora Avenue near Quirino Highway and Mindanao Avenue – accessible to important institutions of business, recreation, religion and education.
