Built on a reclaimed area, the inspiration for the building’s façade was drawn from the ripples of water entrenched on the sandy shores of Manila Bay. The undulating patterns found on the building’s skin mimic the shape of the sea as it slowly drifts off. In a sense, Scape also aspires to produce a ripple effect on its neighboring structures as it sets the standard for building green BPO offices that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient.

Built for a BPO or Business Process Outsourcing office, local firm ASYA Design programmed 33, 013.79 square meters of enclosed office space, and embraced an 800 square meter sky garden deck located at the eighth level featuring a garden space, smartly identified as Escape. The sky garden deck is a strikingly landscaped public realm open for socializing space, casual meetings, events, and intimate gatherings. The garden will have a meandering pond surrounded by sand-like structures to highlight the design concept of water and sand ripples.

Escape’s most prominent feature is the 5 meter orange Tree that stands tall and cuts through the 9th and 8th floor offices. Its vibrant tangerine leaves glistens in the light and creates an enchanting glow that radiates not only on the deck itself, but also from the busy streets of Macapagal Ave. This gleaming icon is further emphasized against the white and blue rippled patterns of Scape’s façade.
