DESIGN VISIONS. Security, safety, a good network of resources and comfort, to name a few, are elements that make up a home. “Besides an aesthetic appeal, a home’s design should have a vision behind it,” said Fatima Olivares-Vital, business unit head of Ovialand, Inc. “Each element should be focused on offering an integrated environment to its residents.” Terrazza de Sto. Tomas, a master-planned development in Sto. Tomas, Batangas, is guided by this credo. With 54% open spaces and 329 units set in a 5.8 hectare prime land, the property marries exclusive living with urban convenience. Following the designs of old world Italian abodes, the development offers an experience that spells comfort and convenience. Architect Melvin Patawaran, the creative mind behind the project explained: “Italian architecture is the mother of domestic building designs. We found this a fitting theme for Terraza de Sto. Tomas which values providing exclusivity and premier living to the modern Filipino family.”
