Imagine living in Evore Estate—
where classic elegance meets stylish modernity, creating an everlasting sanctuary for generations.

Crafted by Arcborders Architectural Design,
it fuses past and present—
Inspired by the timeless beauty of the Ilustrado House and the Filipino Spanish Colonial bahay na bato,

To be constructed by ViDRO Builders, this residence brings Filipino home into contemporary living.

Evore Estate is a home that reinterprets heritage

Considering sleek lines and a refined, modern palette.from natural stone and warm wood, to touches of greenery and distinct square elements reflecting Filipino-Asian design.

The facade presents a modern Filipino-Spanish expression in light tones,
where layered stone elements ground the structure, and slanted eaves introduce a contemporary take on traditional Filipino residential design—creating depth, shadow, and a refined architectural silhouette.

Step inside the living area, where a striking feature staircase becomes the heart of the home—
converging spaces and creating a shared lounge for connection and everyday moments.

A 14-seater dining space brings everyone together,
celebrating family, stories, and traditions under one roof.

Throughout the home, living spaces are designed with a warm Filipino ambiance—
inviting, familiar, and built to transcend generations.

Private bedrooms offer a sense of tropical comfort,
blending warmth, elegance, and restfulness in every detail.

At its core, a central courtyard and azoteas breathe life into the home,
seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces through light and air.

Evore—from evermore—
a legacy of culture, continuity, and design for generations to come.

“A Monolithic Renovation: Orchestrating Light
through Structural Apertures.”

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁.
The Monolithic Envelope
This strategy replaces the fragmented, "stepped" walls of a typical subdivision facade with a continuous rhythmic louver screen, effectively neutralizing the distracting offsets of the original structure into a singular, cohesive plane. By wrapping the roofline with a wide architectural fascia, the multi-level roofs are unified under a single horizontal silhouette, creating the illusion of a sleek, monolithic tropical canopy that stretches seamlessly from the carport to the entry porch.

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻.
The "One-Whole" Facade:
Extending the shed roof over the carport is a brilliant move; it adds horizontal scale, making the house look wider and more custom.

Material Honesty: Replacing metal grills with decorative blocks and patterns adds "visual weight" that typical subdivision houses lack.

EXPERIENCE CAFE AND CHILL ✨

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐄 𝐄𝐗𝐏.
Designed by: Ar. Gian Borlongan

"The Coffee Experience" is more than just a café—
it is a destination designed for moments of connection. From its name to its design, the space encourages people to slow down, enjoy quality coffee, and bond with others.

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁.
The design for the Coffee Shop aims to create a contemporary, multi-sensory environment that embodies the essence of connection and shared moments over a cup of coffee. The aesthetic concept combines modern industrial elements with warmth, balancing sleek and minimalist materials with bold design accents that invite people of all ages to gather and connect.

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻.
The café’s foundation is built on the raw, urban textures of concrete and chrome, creating a strong, industrial vibe. Concrete walls and flooring provide a clean, modern backdrop that is both stylish and functional. The chrome accents on the ceiling, light fixtures, and and tables add a touch of sophistication, reflecting light and creating a bright, polished atmosphere.

CHROME & CONCRETE
This combination emphasizes the café's modern, cutting-edge feel while still being grounded in the warmth and reliability of its core offering—coffee.

AMBER ACCENTS
Adding a touch of warmth and playfulness to the otherwise minimalist and industrial setting, pops of amber-colored accents—think soft yellow or golden hues—are strategically placed throughout the space. Whether in the form of artwork, cushions, or small décor elements, these accents bring a sense of lightness and vibrancy, breaking up the starkness of concrete and chrome while reinforcing the idea of shared experiences and natural connection.

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲.
Flow & Layout: The café’s layout is designed to foster interaction and flexibility. Open Seating invite groups to gather, and connect with other people. The flow is open and fluid, allowing for easy movement and comfort whether you’re meeting friends for coffee, winding down with a book, or spending time with family. The seating is a mix of lounge chairs, and bar-height tables, ensuring there’s a spot for everyone.

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁
The Multipurpose District Hub & Sports Complex is conceived as a civic landmark defined by simple, flowing terrace forms that emerge naturally from the site. Curved geometries soften the massing, creating a dynamic yet grounded presence that blends with its surroundings while establishing a strong visual identity within the district.

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻.
The architecture promotes movement, interaction, and openness, integrating sports, events, and communal functions into a unified spatial experience. Terraced platforms serve as activity zones, viewing decks, and social spaces, encouraging continuous public engagement throughout the complex.

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲.
Rooted in a modern, filipino identity and restrained approach, the design responds to its environment through layered massing, open edges, and landscape integration—allowing the building to function as an extension of the terrain rather than a dominant object.
