CGS Residences

The idea of planning and designing an apartment building is an interesting challenge for the rental business. Having sustainable architecture concepts for apartments was the key consideration in steering for the design. As an example, the floor plan and building orientation were designed for the purpose of increased cross ventilation and managing passive solar heat deflection. This would help reduce the amount of heating and cooling energy needed during its operations. The building is designed with multiple vertical air shafts strategically placed to help induce natural ventilation inside the premises.

Each residential unit has its own balcony space with operable glass walls inviting generous opportunities for sunlight. This apartment design approach to eco-friendly design is increasingly used in modern-day apartment buildings. Many buildings feature energy-efficient windows and efficient heating and cooling systems. In addition, there is a wide range of techniques and technologies to reduce the environmental impact of the building and provide for greater comfort.

Many people find that they can enjoy more intimacy with small apartments. There is an open feel that an apartment offers and will also be able to access basic conveniences by walking or by deliveries. The lower ground welcomes commercial activities with 9 parking slots. The topmost level opens up to a deck area perfect for events or party lounges with a scenic view of the city landscape.

There are some advantages to be gained through the use of passive sustainable buildings for apartment living. The most obvious of which is an increased sense of well-being and security. The CGS Residence in Cebu City is designed primarily with this principle for being a green, community-driven, and energy-efficient apartment building.
