MANILA, Philippines - What could life be in a lush greenery with century-old trees and rare floral plants alongside streams, waterfalls and all in a fully-secured enclave of sprawling and rolling terrain, in the heart of a bustling city?

Such is fast taking shape in Larossa in Capitol Hills, a few steps from a golf course and a sports complex and within five minutes away from UP, Mirriam, and Ateneo, government offices in the surrounding area, and the Technohub and UP Town Center on one side and the Cybercity in Libis and Tiendesitas in Frontera Verde on the other.

“Thus, Larossa in Capitol Hills offers a totally different world from its surrounding urban environment, as if one instantly finds himself in another plane of existence,” said Amica Paulino, sales and marketing manager of Primehomes Real Estate Development Inc., the property developer.

As Quezon City’s first and only urban botanical community, Larossa in Capitol Hills will showcase a vast assortment of plant life exuding a natural park-like feel as every corner opens up to scenic spaces at every turn.

Those greeneries account for 65 percent of this 3.6-hectare residential development, thus immersing its 10-story condominium buildings and their residents in the beauty and bounty of nature’s flora and fauna.

“The community’s organic clubhouse, The Grove, is inspired by the tree-house concept and is crowned by the property’s century-old trees, which engulf the courtyard with ample shade for a naturally cool and refreshing setting, featuring such amenities as the fitness center overlooking the community’s pool area and landscaped grounds, viewing and lounging decks for resort-like views of the surrounding landscape, multi-purpose halls for social gatherings, eco-friendly kiddie playground situated away from roads and pedestrians, and a commercial arcade for all the services and conveniences of city living,” Paulino pointed out.

Another unique feature is “The Cocoon”, a series of landscaped spaces and waterways that offer a tranquil retreat and spiritual sanctuary in what seems to be a hidden valley, where multi-level pools are connected by rockscaped streams and cascading waters designed and laid out naturally against the property’s topography.
