MANILA, Philippines - Nostalji Enclave, a 13.1-hectare residential community, is set to rise in Paliparan, Dasmarinas, Cavite.
Consisting of houses ranging from 70 square meters to 195 sqm, the project is targeted towards middle income start-up families in search of their first home. It is unique in its offering as it offers fully-furnished units, complete with basic and logical appliances.
“We want to take the stress away from families buying their first homes. By offering the houses furnished, families don’t have to figure out which furniture goes with what plus they save on buying the furniture,†said Apple Hurtado, chief operating officer of the property’s developer, Elanvital Enclaves.
In designing each of the 747 Nostalji homes for its first project, Elanvital puts family first. In fact, each home has a special Internet-wired nook in the living room where family members could communicate with their loved ones here and abroad.
“We’ve designed this special corner in the living room where they can set up their desktop computer and the entire family can be seen with the webcam,†adds Bido Dayao, chief designer of the residential project.
Nostalji homes also have access to playing courts and backyard parks where immediate neighbors and “blockmates†may enjoy the outdoors together, or perhaps do backyard gardening with the family.
“A lot of our children today are hooked on technology. We decided to build the Palarong Pinoy Court for kids to rediscover the joy of traditional games. We thought instead of bonding in front of the television, why not play these traditional games. Its also a fun way to bridge generations,†Hurtado added.
“Paliparan has this naturally flat terrain and cool breezes, so we thought this would be a great feature to add to the community,†Dayao explained.
Even the name of the development speaks of the company’s dedication to build residences not just for families to dwell in but to grow closer in.
“We like the word ‘enclave’ because it speaks of a close-knit community. We think a space no matter how small can be a home as long as it’s designed well and takes into consideration spaces for families to bond in,†said Hurtado.
