Model unit brings the outside inside
South Forbes Golf City boasts of lush tropical landscaping by renowned landscapist Bobby Gopiao. Palm trees, colorful shrubs, and tranquil water features dot South Forbes' pocket parks.
With such an idyllic setting, when the expertise of interior designers Ivy and Cynthia Almario was tapped by Cathay Land to conceptualize the interiors for the Castellon Villa model unit, the landscaping served as their inspiration. "Literally, we brought the outside to the inside of the house," exclaimed Cynthia.
When a guest sets upon the model unit, the exciting landscape of shrubs and palm trees welcomes him as well. When he enters, lo and behold, an ornate mural of birds and butterflies mingling with the greens catches his attention.
The painting creates the impression that even inside the house, the family is within the realm of nature, Ivy narrated.
The nine-foot high mural, wide open windows, and silk draperies blend well against the champagne gold sofa set the sisters especially commissioned for this unit. Beyond, a mirror set against the dining room creates a sense of more space, and a lanai adds further space where one can indulge in a heavy breakfast and enjoy the fresh morning breeze.
Upstairs, the master's bedroom, in a light blue and white theme, creates a special commune for the homeowners. Spacious closets and a deluxe bathroom adorn the well-appointed room. A balcony leads out of the masters bedroom, where the whole family can commune and gaze at the stars as well as the flickers emanating from South Forbes- bright city lights.
For convenience, the kiddy rooms are set beside the masters. The sisters envisioned the male child to be highly adventurous, so they designed his room with a nautical theme: navy blue, red, and white colors adorn the whole room. From the bed covers to the boat pieces that adorn the walls, as well as the globe that defines the oceans and seas, the young captain will surely enjoy exploring waters high and low.
As for the female child, the sisters came up with a green room. Being females themselves, they wanted the room to be pretty tailored, very feminine in character. That is why yellow and light green flowers beautify the bed linen and the pastel green motif extends to the study area, the computer desk, and the play area too.
