Horizon East District

WTA Architecture and Design Studio

July 21, 2021

Horizon Manila is currently the biggest approved reclamation project in the Metro Manila side of Manila Bay. The first phase of development of Horizon Manila is Horizon East. It is a 12-hectare superblock located in the centre part of the first island. Within Horizon East is a church, a village, an esports arena, offices, dormitory, and an International school.

Horizon East embraces a conscious commitment to providing lush green spaces. It fosters the growth and well-being of a holistic and thriving community.


The village in Horizon East is surrounded by amenities that define its perimeter. It features 100 villa lots around a transversal community centre. A green lane bisects the entire neighborhood to encourage movement and interaction for both adults and kids. It includes a clubhouse, a pool, basketball courts, playgrounds and gardens.


To the north of the village, the church of the crossroads weave various paths that come together to form the church. Representing the convergence of all devotees, the church becomes the epicentre, the communal hearth. This journey is an experience of openness and solemnity. It allows us to take a breath and reconnect us with nature and ourselves.


Building more foundations for the community, Horizon East features a comprehensive K-12 program with the best learning facilities in Manila. The school focuses on learning through exploration and collaboration called the learning loop. It is a collection of pockets of ideas that serves as meeting point. These take form in social parks that stimulate learning though sensory experiences and social interaction. As children hone their skills in school, their formed experiences contribute to creating a sustainable collaborative community – a ripple effect that spreads out towards the city and our country.


The skatepark and e-sports arena is a multi-level outdoor activity centre. This includes retail outlets, skating pits, and a central rock climbing pillar. Inspired by rock formation, the e-sports arena integrates technology with the surrounding landscape creating a dynamic and unique structure. It features areas that suit active lifestyles within the city setting. This provides city dwellers with an accessible venue for health and recreation.


Our vision to maximize what the city can be continuous throughout Horizon Manila. Building with communities in mind, Horizon East envisions a well-connected core for the city of tomorrow. View project here.
