Power and prosperity of water

In Asia, water is treasured as a symbol of wealth. Based on Chinese geomancy and the part of feng shui, it is believed that the flow of water nurtures prosperity, engenders life, enhances vitality, and acts as a connection to the journey of life.

Water indeed can be seen as the primal element in feng shui, as it guides and remedies every possible situation, bringing wealth, reflection and transformation in its gentle yet powerful flow. It is no wonder that for thousands of years, Asian homes have sought to integrate flowing water into their environments, for all these reasons, and for simple universal truth that water is beautiful.

At The Residences at Greenbelt, the new high-rise luxury condominium towers from Ayala land, water is a key element in design and landscape. It possesses its own carefully nurtured gardens and pools, on its podium level as well as integrates with Greenbelt, taking part in the interplay of nature, lifestyle, and commerce that bring to fore the ideals of feng shui.

The design of the Laguna Tower, the first of three at The Residences, symbolizes the presence of water and growth. Its height creates a sense of strength, a backdrop in which prosperity can reside. Its glass-and-concrete facade integrates the reflective nature of water with the stable, powerful element of earth.

At its podium level, The Residences offers a meditative garden decorated with ponds and fountains. Water here flows gently and slowly, allowing positive energy or chi to collect and gain strength, symbolizing the accumulation of wealth and prosperity. Integrating it into a green garden setting creates opportunity for spiritual growth and wealth in intangible assets such as peace of mind and serenity.

The Residences at Greenbelt plays its trump card with the Greenbelt commercial center and park. Greenbelt has always been a treasured urban park, with its pond and chapel and stands of graceful trees. With the renovation of the area and the redevelopment of its components into a world-class urban retreat, the positive effects of Greenbelt upon the feng shui of its entire neighborhood has only been enhanced.

All of Greenbelt is now the haven of water features which evoke the unified themes of movement, growth, wealth and health. Pools flow around the new plaza of Greenbelt 3, while calming waters of a carp-filled pond surround the chapel of Sto.Nino de Paz. Lily ponds and reflecting pools with lush water ponds from a serene environment for the Greenbelt 4’s upscale boutiques. Greenbelt 2’s fountains set amid garden lawns enhance al fresco gustatory experiences at the enclave.

The Residences takes advantage of this situation in the most auspicious form of landscape: the floodplain of a river, between mountains and the sea. This landscape, treasured in Chinese feng shui as the area where dragons make their abode forms the basis for many great cities of the world. From any unit in Laguna Tower, a resident can see the hills of Antipolo; the Pasig River, flowing by and disappearing into the city, considered a most fortunate situation; Laguna de Bay and the mountains of Batangas; and, the jewel of Metro Manila, Manila Bay and its inestimable sunset. The power of water as a symbol of wealth and prosperity can be seen as being focused from the windows of a home at The Residences at Greenbelt.

The Residences at Greenbelt makes excellent use of the water features of Greenbelt to provide a natural and auspicious flow of chi to its residence. The condominium complex combines cutting-edge urban living with the wisdom and knowledge of feng shui.

Water is the symbol of wealth and prosperity; its slow, steady inexorable flow is the metaphor for power and the journey of life. As a seat of power, commanding one’s own life journey, there is no better choice than The Residences of Greenbelt.
