Proof of this innovative spirit are four developments inspired by the finest that the world’s greatest destinations can offer. These homes bring together the best of various cultures while reflecting the owner’s discriminating taste and zeal for the high life.
The property is a perfect marriage of Italian and Filipino cultures — an ideal union with its many values in common including extended families and the tendency to overdo things. It occupies 117 hectares of land along the Las Piñas-Cavite-Laguna-Muntinlupa Link Road — sculpted stone by stone to recreate the romance of seaside Italy with the convenience of modern living.
Its distinguishing features include paved cobblestones, sun-drenched colors, and a magnificent architecture that incorporates the grandness of arches, balconies, and towers. Portofino Heights (phases 1 — 4) covers 27 hectares with lot cuts ranging from 300 sq.m to 700 sq.m. Portofino South (phases 1 — 8) occupies 69 hectares and offers lot cuts ranging from 307 sq.m. to 1,102 sq.m. Courtyards of Portofino 1 occupies 6-hectare homes with lot cuts ranging from 224 sqm to 504 sq.m. Courtyards 2 and The WideLot Series, the latest in the Portofino development, occupy all of 18 hectares. Courtyards 2 offers lot cuts ranging from 289 sqm to 393 sq.m. The WideLot Series, on the other hand, has lot cuts ranging from 272 sqm to 594 sq.m.
For this property, Brittany Corp. turns to Switzerland for inspiration in crafting a romantic out-of-town retreat — sparing no expense to recreate the European country’s ambience including the fresh pine scent.
Elements such as overhanging eaves, wood patterns, wide balconies all set against a lush green landscape provide a haven where one can truly feel at home away from home. Various design details were employed to ensure an inviting and comfortable atmosphere including a steeply-pitched, gable roof with varying roof lines. The dark-stained wood trims provide contrast to the stucco walls in varying colors to brighten the rooms. French windows with planter boxes ensure that the house is flooded with sunshine and fresh air. The ceramic tiles and natural stone on the porch and balcony with stained wood finish and hand-carved patterns on the railing complete the look.
With a total floor area of 166 sq.m., a unit at the Quadrilles is a three-bedroom masterpiece featuring a master’s bedroom with walk-in closet and toilet with bath, two smaller bedrooms, attic space, porch and balcony, maid’s room with toilet and bath, utility area, a parking slot, and an open parking area.
For those who wish to create a home in accordance with their personal style, custom houses are also accommodated in the property. Individual lots are available ranging from 450 sq.m to 1,000 sq.m.
The Grand Quartier, on the other hand, explores the concept of large living spaces on a low-rise development. While it adheres to the Swiss theme, the Grand Quartier offers this on a more intimate scale with only 30 units of one and two bedrooms. The floor area ranges from 74 sq.m to 109 sq.m. A rounding driveway is in front of each Grand Quartier. At the center is a common lobby where elevators can take the homeowners to a world all their own. Units are priced between P3.5 and P5.5 million.
The trademark candy colors, bay windows and ornate details characterize these seemingly fairytale homes with two model units available. Duetto, a four-level structure, has two units back-to-back to ensure the homeowner’s privacy. The Quadrille, on the other hand, is a cluster of four units sharing two of the four walls to maximize the space. A separate entrance and view guarantee’s the homeowner’s privacy. The Duetto and Quadrille occupy a total of 146 sq. m of floor space on an 86 sq. m lot and 126 sq. m floor space on a 70 sqm lot respectively.
Apart from a unique view of Laguna de Bay and its proximity to both Makati and Alabang, Viera’s offers privacy and the luxury of space rarely seen in condominium properties. It offers only six units per floor to ensure peace and quiet while enjoying the amenities that high-rise living can offer.
