SM City North EDSA’s Sky Garden

SM City North EDSA’s Sky Garden
by: Karla Redor



It feels like that every time I go back to SM City North EDSA, there would be changes. Going to different parts of SM City North EDSA is like traveling through time. It’s like going back to high school days when you’re in the oldest part of SM. When you go to The Block or to the CyberZone, you’ll see the refreshing modern look. And now, here comes the Sky Garden, a combination of the now and nature which I find attractive in the midst of the busy EDSA.



Going out to the Sky Garden from The Block is like going to another dimension. I’m fascinated with the roofs of the walkway. Its shape is modern. The walkway path is tiled with SM branding all over it. And beside the walkway path is the green grass, which is relaxing to the eyes.



There are also some parts of the Sky Garden that would have a mini pond of some stones. By the way, in the above photo, Starbucks will open around that area. ;) And who would think that you’re in the heart of EDSA with that eh? :D





Aside from Sky Garden’s cozy ambiance, it’s a first for SM to have their own amphitheater. They call it the “Sky Dome”.



The Sky Dome has a seating capacity of around 1,200 people. At daytime, the amphitheater itself is already well-lit with half of the dome covered with glass. I like how they’ve incorporated conservation of energy with the design of the dome.
The Sky Garden at SM City North EDSA’s gave a whole new look to the mall and will give you a refreshing experience. At daytime you’ll see the greens from afar but at night, you’ll see great lighting around the Sky Garden. Too bad I don’t have pictures of it at night. :)
