Mediterranean Villas
- The South Forbes Mediterranean Villas features homes inspired by the allure of the
Spanish-Mediterranean coast


House Models:
Castellon

- 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.
Floor PlanAlicante Model
- When interior designers Ivy and Cynthia Almario were approached by Cathay Land
to conceptualize and implement the interiors of the Mediterranean-inspired Alicante Villa
model unit, they immediately visualized how the unit would look like.
- "We worked and lived in California for 13-15 years before we settled back here in the Philippines, so the Spanish architecture and interiors of the houses we've visited there
served as our inspiration," Cynthia narrated.
- Since the Alicante unit comes with a high ceiling, the double volume space allowed the
sisters to design a unique trompl'oeil beneath the stairs. The trompl'oeil, a neat row of
flowering plants below the stairs and beside the spacious living area, permits a very
lighthearted atmosphere within the house.
- "We want people to realize they can do this with their unit," added Cynthia.
- Guests who view the unit also experience that "wow" and "aahhh" effect when they
gaze at the high mural and admire all the action going on at kidney-shaped sofa from
the second floor's indoor balcony. The mural highlights the height of the available space,
high quality silk fabric and balloon drapes accent the floor-to-ceiling windows, and champagne
gold colors give the living room a cohesive look. "We wanted the eyes of visitors to go
around, not stuck in just one area," according to Cynthia.
