"We wanted it to be architecturally forward, something that Cebu or the Philippines has never seen before. We wanted it to be not just maganda tingnan but very, very usable din and may added benefit to the user. And lastly because we are building on the mountain side, we want the project to be sustainable as possible," he stated.

"We got inspired by the Banaue Rice Terraces. So instead of a normal building which is typically straight up and down. we kind of like worked with the terrain. We just pushed everything towards the terrain and just followed the flow of the mountain so this is the whole concept behind this one," he stated.

"We pushed everything towards the mountain and just worked with the terrain. So each and every space was pushed towards the back and with that we were able to create this free-flowing design. But not only that, this whole structure is spread out across the mountain making it a whole lot safer and less 'yung environmental impact natin," he shared.

"Such a beautiful organic yet modern-looking work. This is what the future should look like. Also, a good demonstration of why design is and should always be an iterative process. While the initial versions were pretty honest - this is next-level. You were able to really iterate in the most positive way possible," one netizen wrote.

"The transition, the render, the montage, the actual model, I cannot express how amazed I am by this development. We rarely get to see developments like this where they truly embraced nature and creativity + function. The Rise at Monterrazas will not just be a residential area, it'll be a landmark!" another netizen commented.
