True craftsmanship lies in the details. It’s the fine line that distinguishes an excellent work from the ordinary.
This craftsmanship should be a prerequisite when making a big-ticket purchase such as a future home since the buyer is not just buying a piece of property, but is investing in a personal sanctuary.
To break down the details of what transforms a home into an oasis, RLC Residences collaborated with YouTube’s favorite Pinoy architect Oliver Austria to analyze the details found in Woodsville Crest’s newest building called Olive.
Known for his funny and friendly reaction videos with his insights into architecture and construction, Austria collaborated with the brand by doing a “fun virtual tour” of Woodsville Crest while showing his followers (which he calls Mah Dudes Army) his architect-approved features of the development:
One of the many features Austria cited in his vlog are the various open and landscaped areas found in Woodsville Crest.
“ It’s rare for a (condo) development to have plenty of open spaces and amenities. As much as possible, (developers) would opt to maximize the lot. But Woodsville Crest is different, because designers of the project are conscious about the well-being of its future residents,” Austria said.
Among the amenities mentioned are the outdoor pools, picnic groves, pet park, play area, and wellness trail. These make Woodsville Crest a relaxing space for urban dwellers seeking refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Another feature Austria mentioned in the video is the shadow gap in the corners of the ceiling, a detail that helps provide perimeter support in the unit. In terms of colors, Austria emphasized the importance of materials used and how they affect the overall feel of the development.
For Woodsville Crest, he lauded how the lobby is designed similar to a “five-star hotel” and that RLC Residences’ choice of wood and green shades are meant to make residents feel like they are in an oasis when entering the property.
Having an open space that functions as communal space is important in condominiums, and this is another feature Austria highlighted in his vlog. The atrium design of Woodsville Crest follows an open space concept that also extends to the interiors, while the auxiliary lobby also functions as an efficient divider from the residential units.
