Design

The Robinsons Summit Center was designed and masterplanned by the international architectural firm Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum (HOK), in cooperation with the Filipino architectural firm W.V. Coscolluela & Associates. The building's structural frame was designed by R.S. Caparros Associates & Company.^[5] The building has an unobstructed view of the Makati skyline from all floors. It has a double-height main lobby and double-height glass wall frontage and a three-zone vertical movement configuration for optimum elevator performance. A rooftop master antenna serves as an architectural highlight.^[8][9]
