A New Chapter of Inspired Living Begins at The Podium

Signature Series by SM Residences is redefining how modern Filipinos imagine home as it unveils its very first “Life Space” at The Podium Mall in Mandaluyong City—an immersive showcase that brings the brand’s vision of elegant, intentional living into a real, tangible environment. More than a display, the 300-square-meter Life Space invites visitors to step into a world shaped by thoughtful design, refined materials, and the quiet luxury that Signature Series seeks to cultivate in its future communities.

Created by the renowned Lor Calma & Partners—whose portfolio includes cultural landmarks like The Mind Museum and the Freedom Memorial Museum—the Life Space reflects a design language rooted in harmony and purpose. Inside, the interplay of wood, marble, and metal creates a warm yet contemporary atmosphere, while curated artworks by Reg Yuson and Lui Gonzales lend personality and depth. The lighting, textures, and spatial flow were crafted to show how beauty and functionality can coexist seamlessly in the everyday.

As guests move through the space, they encounter different settings that mirror real-life moments: a cozy nook for reflection, generous lounges for conversations, private rooms for collaboration, and a sleek bar area for social gatherings. Each corner reinforces the guiding principle behind the Life Space—that a home should enhance one’s lifestyle, not just accommodate it.

According to Jessica Sy, Vice President and Head of Design, Innovation and Strategy at SM Prime, the Life Space concept is meant to be experiential, offering a preview of the brand’s philosophy of mindful living. She adds that a second Life Space is already in the works at Susana Heights in Muntinlupa, set to launch early next year. This upcoming installation will highlight the estate’s natural charm, giving future homeowners a glimpse of what it means to live within a premium, sustainable community.

The Susana Heights estate, a 284-hectare development backed by a ₱25-billion initial investment, marks the first major undertaking under the Signature Series banner. The estate will bring together residential clusters, lifestyle centers, green corridors, and civic spaces designed to nurture harmony between urban convenience and nature.

As an initial offering, Signature Series is set to market build-ready residential lots within the existing Susana Heights Village—ranging from 500 to 900 square meters—supported by enhanced amenities and improved infrastructure. Soon after, the brand will introduce a new flagship luxury village featuring expansive lots from 700 to 1,100 square meters, low-density planning at only 6.5 lots per hectare, a five-kilometer greenway loop, and country-club-style amenities.

With its first Life Space now open, Signature Series begins a new chapter—one where design, nature, and lifestyle converge to inspire the next generation of elevated living.
