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.
For the master's bedroom, the sisters opted for a relaxing space,
that's why restful colors such as light blue and white set the tone. A
luxurious bathroom and spacious closets give the future resident
couple quality time together.
The sisters imagined the male child to be adventurous in character, so
they came up with a nautical theme for him. Boat accessories, navy
blue and white bed pieces, and a captain's wheel for a mirror send the
kid to a good sea voyage every time he sleeps. Built-in cabinets
beside the bed give him enough space for his books and toys.
For the female child, they imagined her to love mornings basking in
the sunshine, so they decorated the room with violet sunflowers in
white linen as the theme. Her room also has ample study area and even
has space for a computer.
Ivy shared, "Residents of South Forbes can actually copy our model
unit and do this. We gave them a high standard to aspire for and
realize their dreams. It will be a joy for anyone to see that it's
possible."
