This unique, multistory shopping destination is walking distance from a vibrant and active harbor, and emphasizes and features the landscape environment “front and center” with its lushly designed gardens.
Showcasing their thought leadership, the cutting-edge owner Robinsons Land Company stated that “nowhere in The Philippines has any other developer focused on the verdant aspects of a landscaped garden for any interior mall.”
Within the air-conditioned environment, Lifescapes combined flourishing trees, shrubs and a variety of floral species, all woven in between the pedestrian walkways, cafes and shops, so that visitors can eat, play and shop in a garden “paradise.”
Additional amenities such as a colorful, floral, inlayed, oversized guitar and interior columns landscaped from top to bottom contribute to generating a sense of fun and create the “WOW” factor that delights the shoppers and visitors.
At night, celestial lights add a glow to the gardens and illuminate the outdoor pathways, offering the perfect place for a plaza and promenade.
Overlooking Xinghai Bay and the luminous Yellow Sea from its landmark location on Wanxia Mountain, The Castle Hotel commands a magnificent presence with its European-inspired castle set amid lush foliage on Lotus Mountain. The long driveway leads up to a grand Porte Cochere that encircles a lavish fountain. It’s an outstanding special events venue with 4,000 m2 of rooftop garden with captivating sea vistas. Inspired by King Ludwig’s passion for Greek mythology, the statues of Poseidon, Aphrodite, Piper and the Four Seasons adorn the gardens. The meticulous landscaping by Lifescapes International includes themed garden structures, romantic rooftop gardens, and special accent plantings that incorporate the four essential elements: water, shade, color and fragrance.
This resort is the world’s largest fully integrated resort casino featuring state-of-the-art entertainment venues, stylish shopping, spa, recreation facilities and a 1.2-million-square-foot convention space. Blending the best of classical Italian and tropical landscapes, the visitor experiences an array of unexpected vistas from clipped hedge parterres around the front lagoon to formal swimming pool courtyards (at the four pools) nestled in lush palm gardens.
This spectacular beachfront resort features 263 guest rooms and villas, innovative dining options and leisure facilities, as well as amenities and services designed to support well-being. Set between green forests and the East China Sea, The Westin Zhujiajian Resort is just steps away from sandy beaches and unique cultural and natural scenic attractions in Zhujiajian, the fifth largest island among the 1,390 islands in Zhoushan.
A thoughtful arrangement of deciduous and evergreen trees was required so that even in the winter when some trees are bare, the overall lush feel is not lessened. In addition, signature features include fountains with “floating” islands of planting resembling large lily pads amidst stainless steel lotus flowers.
The amazing resort infinity pools include an outdoor heated pool, and dynamic wave area, with spectacular views of the sea and mountainside, where guests can take in take in the tranquil oasis of the lush landscape from their lounge chair or cabana.
The romantic, contemporary design features formal, tailored, lush gardens and vibrant floral patterns, while the floral theme spills out from the interior, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor space.
The perimeter landscape consists of 12m double royal palms, while the North, South and East entries are lined with fragrant citrus trees. The entire property contains over 2,300 trees, obtained from around the world and shipped in from Australia, Thailand, and mainland China.
Several garden environments make up the property; the executive office courtyard, with sculptural lattices, showcases two specimen pomegranate trees. The Sky Gardens overlook the China Sea- two, mirrored lush parterre gardens with focal garden gazing balls and potted Dracaena draco trees.
Five villa gardens, each with their own 40 m long private pools, feature arching laminar stream fountains, terraced lawns, and undulating topiary hedges, representing a dragon pattern.
The Performance Lake is the heart and electricity of the resort that calls everyone in. Everything in the design was to create an environment that is visually open for people to see from gondolas, rooms, and restaurants, as well as pedestrians and vehicles on the Cotai Strip. The main pool is set on podium at the base of the hotel tower to be a step-down garden that overlooks the fountains. At night, it’s also a viewing area for the spectacular water show.
