The striking scenery or the splendid layout of the development, or both – for Architect Maila Mitra, these were the inspirations behind several distinctive condominium units she has designed at Pico de Loro Cove, the leisure residential development of SM Land in Nasugbu, Batangas.
Hamilo Coast is a network of live-work-play communities envisioned to range in setting from popular waterfront locales to secluded ultra-exclusive coves. Its first development, Pico de Loro Cove, offers a convenient brand of leisure living with its condo vacation homes and exclusive club lifestyle. With the progressive turnover of initial clusters Jacana and Myna last summer, the community is now thriving.
Initially tapped by a friend whose parents own a unit at Pico de Loro Cove, Arch. Mitra has worked on nine condo units at both Jacana and Myna clusters. Referrals established her reputation in working with condo vacation home units within Pico de Loro with ease and fast turnaround — and at reasonable cost.
With her hands full of projects, she is more than happy with the pleasant "problem." Each of her creations is a manifestation of her design expertise. After all, working in an environment which she describes as "nature at its best," it is easy to get inspired and find fulfillment in turning her client’s condo home into a haven for resort living.
Arch. Mitra does not find it difficult to create inspired leisure living spaces in this community as the location itself is amazing.
"I initially did not expect to find paradise in Hamilo," she admitted. "But the view of nature is spectacular and the idea of having nine condo buildings surrounding a man-made lake is innovative. Units have excellent space planning. Each space converges into one communal area to support how we Filipinos are culturally."
She found the space planning and finishes of the units conducive for creative flair. "While the basic amenities are provided such as bathroom fixtures, kitchen counter and fittings, there is still enough leeway to be creative in decorating each unit according to what residents require."
What she knows for sure is that the residents in that leisure community are an eclectic mix of individuals and families who have their strong personal sense of what a vacation condo home means.
One of her first projects was a one-bedroom 45 sqm unit which she turned into a modern vacation home that exudes sophistication and luxury. Because of the efficiently-sized unit, there were no major renovations implemented.
For accent, they dropped the ceiling and installed wallpaper as well as laminated wood to achieve their desired clean and uncluttered look. Using only two base colors – white and light mocha – the motif surrounds the residents with a relaxing atmosphere.
