An enchanting escape south of the city

MANILA, Philippines - On the slopes of the highest point of Manila’s favorite weekend getaway gracefully sits a sanctuary where the spectacle of nature’s beauty offers serenity for the weary urban warrior. Brittany Corporation, a proud member of the country’s largest home builder Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc., took inspiration from Swiss architecture for Crosswinds. It is the maverick property developer’s response to the growing demand for a true home away from home. Far beyond a mere escape, it offers rest and rejuvenation in the midst of nature’s majesty but with all the conveniences of modern living.

Crosswinds provides a welcome alternative to the sweltering nights in the city. The cool air ensures a comfortable sleep with the promise of a fresh start in the morning sheltered under the towering trees littered all over the property.

Delemont, its recently unveiled model home, exemplifies the Swiss inspiration and vision of Crosswinds. This single-detached downhill property nestled on the slopes of Tagaytay’s rolling terrain is surrounded by lush green pine trees — just some of more than 20,000 planted over the 100-hectare property. With an area of 165sqm, it can be built in the custom home sites, the newest of which is Pine Grove 3.

Just like traditional homes in the Swiss Alps, Delemont has adopted the “great room” concept where guests are treated to a large, undivided room upon entering the home. Taking advantage of the lush landscape, the sprawling living room area is oriented towards large floor-to-ceiling windows that elegantly frame the magnificent greenery outside — providing a natural artwork as well as a soothing scenery for a relaxing ambience.

Also incorporated are other elements of Swiss architecture such as the semi-lumbered look of the façade, the street signs and the blooms that line pathways to recreate the favored European destination and the coziness that it evokes.

Crosswinds cover 100 hectares of prime property. With over 30 hectares of integrated development with a mix of single-detached homes, duettos, quadrilles, and mid-rise condos, it is the perfect hideaway for renewing, rejuvenating, and restoring both body and mind.
