South Forbes' Tokyo Mansions now complete

MANILA, Philippines - South Forbes Golf City, the country’s largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the heart of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor, proudly announces the completion of its Japanese-inspired enclave that reflects and personifies the spirit of Zen — Tokyo Mansions.

“Tokyo Mansions was inspired by both traditional and modern elements of Japanese design — simple architecture, minimalist interiors, and distinct landscaping, blending together to create the beauty of perfect harmony,” said Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng. “Now, its residents can live in harmony with their surroundings with balance in their everyday lives.”

The Gates of Zen. Arriving at Tokyo Mansions is like a healing journey. The simple display of plants and dry stones at the guardhouse and the row of tall bamboo along the pedestrian walk immediately create a relaxing effect from the state of constant hurriedness of the outside world. The short walk from the street to one’s front porch becomes a respite, allowing its residents to enter in a more peaceful disposition.

Symmetry and Serenity. At the end of the main avenue is an elegant structure — the Tokyo Mansions clubhouse. Residents and guests drive along a concentric circular formation with a fountain at the center. Two blank walls flanked with bamboo landscaping are the first understated elements on view. Once one enters, the grand design becomes apparent. Two similar structures separated by an open-air foyer create a sense of balance. A two-level infinity pool offers residents and their guests a chance to relax. Soon, a Zen garden located further to the side will be that spiritual space where the mind becomes acutely sensitive to the uncomplicated.
