Fabulous French chateaus

South Forbes Golf City takes pride in being the country’s largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor renowned for bringing internationally-themed villages and distinct lifestyles together with a world-class golf course, earning it the coveted title of Best Golf Community Development by the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards programme.

Châteaux de Paris, South Forbes’ sophisticated French enclave, reveals a timeline of French design styles in its model chateaus — a showcase of class and culture spanning from Louis XIV to Moderne.

A Classic Case. The distinguished Chambord exterior already hints of a palace with a turret on one side of the house, a unique feature that sets the model chateau apart from all others, hinting of romance and aristocracy.

The interiors of Chambord were created to bring back the old world charm that is characteristic of many of our parents’ and grandparents’ homes but updated to meet the modern lifestyle. Burgundy, a rich color on its own, was accentuated by bright yellows and greens as also seen in the furniture and the art works on the wall — making the room feel sunny and bright. The dining room uses modern Louis XV furniture that is juxtaposed against a rather ornate chandelier.

The master suite, which occupies the whole left side of the house, is done in warm tones. Ceilings include Moroccan inspired chandeliers and light fixtures adding a layer of complexity to the room. The boy’s room is in a classic French red, white, and blue while the girl’s room is in a more delicate yellow with beddings that resemble ceramic patterns.

Mo Moderne. The development of the Fontainebleau unit is reflective of a more sophisticated and urbane lifestyle. Clean lines, chrome and glass, textured fabrics create an interesting interplay of surfaces that makes the unit cozy yet refined, pleasant with an underlying sense of formality that is understood by the discerning few.
