Rehabilitation of the nine-story Bel-Air ApartmentsRehabilitation of the nine-story Bel-Air Apartments is a Work of National Artist for Architecture Pablo S. Antonio located at Manila, Metro Manila, National Capital Region.
The nine-storey Bel-Air Apartments was the tallest building in Manila in 1937.
Architect Pablo Antonio III, his grandson, notes that: “at that time, it wasn’t
common for an architect to hollow out a portion of the building and show the
beams running across, but Antonio emphasized them as an integral part.”
To this day, the structure is fully utilized as a residential apartment building. (Source: The Architectural Legacy of Pablo S. Antonio: 1901-1975)
