: Much like the symbolic "Dragon Gates" in Hong Kong skyscrapers, DMCI Homes' high-rise condominiums feature three-storey rectangular openings known as "Sky Patios."
These massive holes aren't just for good luck – they're part of Lumiventt® Design Technology, says Butch Mendizabal, DMCI Homes' Corporate Communications Manager. This design ensures fresh air and light circulate freely, reducing the build-up of moisture and harmful elements for long-term health benefits.
DMCI Homes' Sky Patios draw parallels to the "Dragon Gates" in Hong Kong, which are rooted in feng shui.
In feng shui, dragons are revered as bearers of good fortune. Feng shui believes in dragons as symbols of good fortune, and blocking their path could bring misfortune, according to an article by Business Insider.
Beyond the symbolic and health aspects, DMCI Homes' innovative design also contributes to energy efficiency and environmental stewardship.
According to Mendizabal, the natural light and air permeating the building provide well-lit and breezy living spaces, even during summer.
This helps homeowners reduce their reliance on electric lights and cooling appliances, leading to cost savings on electricity bills and a more environmentally friendly living experience.
