This Working Mom Is Glad She Found a Home That Works for Today’s Lifestyle

Cathy, a private‑sector consultant, has been living at Prisma Residences in Pasig City with her family for three years.

For many young professionals and start-up families, finding a home that balances career demands, personal life, and a sense of community can feel like a challenge. At Prisma Residences in Pasig Boulevard, Pasig City, that balance appears not only possible but thoughtfully designed. 

 

Cathy and her family have lived at Prisma Residences since 2023. Her work as a consultant in the private sector follows no fixed routine. 

 

The nature of her job means fluctuating schedules, hybrid arrangements, and varying levels of stress, which makes her living environment especially important. 

 

“My work can be challenging. It can be stressful at times. So, it's actually good to come home to a place that's relaxing. There's an area for you to stay and relax like the roof deck, the park, and the pool area.” 

 

This emphasis on wellness and decompression is a defining feature of Prisma Residences. Its open spaces and leisure amenities offer residents an escape without ever leaving the property—an advantage for professionals like Cathy whose work schedule can be erratic. 

 

Designed for Hybrid Living 

 

Hybrid work has reshaped how people think about home, and Prisma Residences was designed for evolving needs of residents. 

 

Cathy describes her work setup as fluid: “It’s highly flexible. For example, on some Tuesdays you're allowed to work from home. There are weeks when I can work fully from home, and other times when I have to go to the office the entire week. So, it really depends. It's erratic.” 

 

With a coworking space right in her condo, Cathy finds it easier to stay focused on her remote work.

This unpredictability makes dedicated workspaces essential—not just inside units, but within the community. For Cathy, Prisma Residences’ coworking space plays a surprisingly important role, especially as a parent. 

 

“I have a toddler, so having a clear routine really helps. When I head down to the coworking space, he understands that it means I’m off to work.” 

 

The psychological boundary between “home” and “work” becomes clearer not just for her, but for her child. It’s a subtle yet meaningful benefit that many young parents working from home can relate to. 

 

A Coworking Space That Works 

 

Unlike typical shared spaces that feel like afterthoughts, Prisma Residences’ coworking space functions as a genuine extension of the modern office. 

 

“When I’m in the coworking space, I prefer using a fixed desk. It helps put me in the right mindset and really conditions me to focus on work.” 

 

She adds that it strikes a balance between convenience and productivity: It’s like an office feel but I’m working from home. You have the convenience of not traveling to your office, but still, it’s in an office setting."

Affordability is another key factor. “I actually find the prices in the co-working space affordable and reasonable. It’s even cheaper than my transportation cost going to the office.” 

 

She also notes that management has adjusted pricing based on feedback, showing attentiveness to how residents use the space. 

 

Community by Design 

 

Beyond amenities, Prisma Residences encourages a sense of belonging. For start-up families, especially those with young children, this carries real value. 

 

“I think that’s number one. We like the amenities they offer. And in general, there are also a lot of young families, so I feel our kids would have others to play with.” 

 

She adds, “For me, DMCI is a good choice for young families because there’s really a great environment for kids to grow up. My kids can go down to the lobby, and there are plenty of other kids they can play with. And then, you also become friends with the other parents.” 

 

The result is a community that forms naturally, with shared spaces creating daily opportunities for interaction among both children and parents. 

 

Space, Location, and Practicality 

 

A home that works for her family and her career. Cathy is happy she found both in one place at Prisma Residences in Pasig City.

Location remains a key consideration for working professionals. Prisma Residences offers proximity without placing residents in the middle of heavy business districts. 

 

“We really didn’t want a space within the Central Business District, but still something quite near the area. You can still get there in less than an hour, since that’s really where our work is.” 

 

The sense of space within the property also stands out. 

 

“The space at Prisma Residences is quite large, so you still feel like you have your own space even if you’re living in a condominium. There’s sufficient space for everybody.” 

 

More Than Just a Home 

 

For Cathy, Prisma Residences functions as more than a place to stay. It supports her day-to-day reality as a professional, a parent, and an individual. 

 

With a flexible workspace, places to relax, a family-friendly environment, and a strategic location, it reflects how living spaces are evolving. 

 

For young professionals building careers and families starting new chapters, that combination can make all the difference.
