Asian Development Bank Headquarters

The Asian Development Bank Headquarters is a financial institution devoted to promote economic progress in the Asia-Pacific region. Basically, it is a 9-storey sprawling office structure and a bi-level special facilities office in the midst of a large landscaped area located in the heart of Ortigas Center, Metro-Manila.

This project paved the way to have a team of foreign-based design consultants (SOM) some of whom have undertaken in pioneering the introduction of western-oriented construction systems and materials. As a result, this special project had actually triggered and revolutionized the local construction industry as to its acceptance of new design parameters and application of improved building technology. It was here that Medi, Craig, Leo and Luis crossed paths.
