The Development - Shangri-La

Designs | Location

This residential development shall consist of eight 2 and 3 bedroom houses, each with a floor plan of between 1,500 to 2,200 square feet of living space. Large balconies and ideally-placed patios will allow residents to fully enjoy the perks of living in a tropical climate, and the wide doors and abundance of windows will guarantee a breezy, naturally ventilated interior.

Finished connections to various services will also be included as part of the development and these shall include water, power, telephone, fax, cable TV, and internet access. For aesthetic appeal and safety, all infrastructure for these services will be located underground, for it is the aim of our development team to eliminate the unsightly running of overhead wires and so preserve the beauty of SHANGRI-LA's natural environment. All houses will be wired to accommodate the installation and easy activation of an electronic security system. Each residence will also be equipped with a solar water heating system, 2 water stage tanks, and a concealed utility area.

Each of the eight lots will be elegantly fenced and gated, and impressive gabion retaining walls, with their traditional rustic characteristics, will be constructed to naturally complement the gently-tumbling gradient of the area.

Beautiful, island-inspired landscaping will be designed both within and outside the fence lines, and this will greatly contribute to the enhanced value of the SHANGRI-LA development. Many of the original trees which have shaded these slopes for decades will be preserved, and though architecturally similar in house design, each lot will boast a unique garden layout of specially-selected tropical shrubs, flowers and trees. All roads and driveways are to consist of reinforced concrete surfaces.
