The Ascott Limited’s first co-living property in Metro Manila, lyf Malate Manila, celebrated its 2nd anniversary with a vibrant event on July 14. The celebrations included the successful installation of Lyf Centrale, the brand’s signature community market, from June 28 to 30, which empowered small businesses with art, crafts, and food items. The event aimed to foster a strong sense of community and promote experience-led social living, ensuring a vibrant and memorable experience for the residents.
Also, part of oLyf’s Malate Manila’s 2nd anniversary was the Philippine stop of the brand’s traveling art installation, “Door of Cosmic Dreams.” A global campaign launched in Singapore last year, the initiative reflects lyf’s commitment to combining hospitality with contemporary art and culture. It features Lyf’s sculptural door that serves as an experiential gateway to the imagination of a local partner-artist. Collaborating with Lyf Malate Manila for its version of the project was digital artist Phonsie Castañeda, who presented a portal of galaxies painted in vivid color, brought to life through animation. The” Door of Cosmic Dreams” will also make stops in other lyf properties worldwide, including Tokyo, Paris, and Bangkok.
Then, from the staging of lyf Centrale to the unveiling of its own “Door of Cosmic Dreams,” all the celebrations of lyf’s Malate Manila’s 2nd anniversary led to one unforgettable gathering on July 14.
