Coming home for the holidays in style

Dreaming of a green Christmas with the grandeur of nature in full view? You probably are if a nasty virus had you cloistered in a high-density condo or residential district in the congested metro for nearly two years.

Now, all you want for Christmas is a place of your own surrounded by plentiful open green spaces that meet the World Health Organization’s (WHO) standards for adequate exposure to nature and opportunities for outdoor activities.

The WHO recommends that every resident should have access to at least 0.5 to 1 hectare of green space at a straight-line distance from their residence of no more than 300 meters.

Horizon Terraces Garden Suites in Tagaytay Highlands actually provides a standard for a city — a hectare of green space with its lush, expansive Central Garden that is only a few steps away and one that is made for the exclusive use of only a number of residents.

Amid growing demand for open green spaces, WHO considers such as vital for a community mainly due to the following — the promise of enhanced physical and emotional well-being, as well as reduced air and noise pollution. These are wonderful gif ts you won’t find under a Christmas tree.

Dedicating over 70 percent of its land area to recreational and garden space, Horizon Terraces Garden Suites’ smart planning integrates open green spaces into its homebuilding, which is reminiscent of how dwellings back in the day used to be in harmony with nature by having ample open spaces around.

Today, a heightened yearning for lifestyle ideas that incorporate open spaces into the home has made people realize the importance of connecting with nature and blending beautifully with the natural landscape, the Central Garden inspires leisurely pursuits.

It entices one to stroll at the Garden Courtyard with Sundial; young children to romp and play at the Sensory Garden; seniors to spend quiet moments at the Pocket Gardens; and the entire family to take a dip in resort-inspired swimming pools.

Horizon Terraces Garden Suites are five-storey, low-density residential condominiums sitting on 3.2 hectares of land surrounded by stunning verdant greenery, making it a safe alternative primary home where one takes in breathtaking nature views from all around.

One- and two-bedroom units of 35 to 68 square meters are thoughtfully laid out to adapt to growing families’ needs. Close by is the Midlands Golf Course for the ultimate in work-life balance.

Now, all you want for Christmas is a place of your own surrounded by plentiful open green spaces that meet the World Health Organization’s standards for adequate exposure to nature and opportunities for outdoor activities.
