Ms. Dada De Guzman, Chief Operating Officer of Brittany, led the activity with the planting of the first pine tree.

More than 50 pine tree saplings were planted along the side pathways near the main road. The unique tree variety was cultivated by Greenscapes, Vista Land’s affiliated landscaping group, to grow in local climate conditions. According to Ms. Roxanne Florete, a project in charge of Portofino “We are excited to see the third phase of Amore bloom to what we can see now in the first two phases as well as in other phases of Portofino.”

Amore Phase 3 is the latest enclave of Brittany in its 1500 hectares master-planned community, Vista Alabang. Advantageously placed within proximity of Evia Lifestyle Center, Palazzo Verde, and Muntinlupa – Cavite Expressway, as well as future establishments soon to rise such as University Town and Vita Care Hospital.

Landscaping is highly significant in every property offered by the estate. A well-landscaped yard encompassing your Brittany home is a pleasant sight. Landscaping is what brings freshness and beauty to your home. Without it, life could still go on, but it would certainly be dull and bland. It’s what connects you to nature as well.

Here are the reasons why Landscaping is important:

1. Landscaping makes home more livable

We all want to live in a luxury home that makes life more conducive. A cozy, comfortable, and relaxing home is everyone’s dream, and landscaping can help you accomplish that. It makes you feel at home and have complete control over it.

2. Makes home serene by landscaping

The more greenery you have in your yard, the more comfortable and welcoming the space is. Not only can landscaping create your home more pleasant, but plants and trees can even cool down your luxury home’s interior by shading your home away from the warmth of the sun.

3. Connect with nature

We might be living in the modern age, where everything’s surrounded by buildings, computers, and who-knows-what. It may be cool at first to live in metropolitan life, but it slowly drains your energy away. So why not get in touch with nature? Landscaping lets you do that.

4. Feel the outdoors when you’re landscaping

Make use of your outdoor area and appreciate your landscaping. You can also put a bench, or perhaps place a table in it. This provides you a place to enjoy nature’s beauty. And it’s not just about the experience, but it makes you healthier as you can breathe fresh air whenever you want.

Different landscaping styles for your Brittany luxury home:

Color is one of the most important variables in interior design. You can bring different shades of feelings using different color combinations in your home: relaxing, fun romantic, or even dramatic at times. There are mainly two types of colors: Warm and Cool. Warm colors like red can instantly energize a space and will give you an adrenaline rush; whereas cool colors like blue instill a calming and relaxing atmosphere within the space. A Brittany Home has the perfect balance of colors to bring out your dream luxury lifestyle.

Color can greatly affect the mood and the overall feel of a luxury home.

Choosing the right shade is important. When distinct aspects such as hue, lightness, and saturation are altered, color behaves differently. Lighter colors are airy and can make a space feel spacious while dark tones give the room a more sophisticated atmosphere. Take a look at how you can apply these colors to your Brittany home:

The Colors in a Brittany Home

1. Brown

With the brown color, you can induce a feeling of naturalness and comfort to your home. In interior arrangements, brown can add depth and warmth. The neutral color schemes can add a bit of brown to make them more welcoming. Furniture finishes and a beautiful parquet floor or natural colors can be very fine and have good taste. Or, if you use unpolished wood or wool textiles in natural shades of brown create a pleasant rustic effect.

2. White

This color creates an airy, quiet, and pure appearance. If you don’t want to have a very colorful room but no excess white, you can use white in combination with other neutral colors. Black, brown, or gray with white fit very well.

3. Gray

Gray interiors give a formality that is subtle elegance without being too conservative. A beautiful shade of gray, in combination with a not very bright white color, can create a clean and refreshing appearance. But too many gray areas will create a boring environment.

4. Black

If black is put on a light or neutral background color, everything will stand out. Black is ideal to bring out certain things in a room. Do not use too much black, but only to highlight certain things like picture frames, small tables, etc.

5. Yellow

A pale yellow applied on walls or ceiling can bring a little sunshine to your home, while a darker yellow may be a damper after a while. Yellow is also great for making things stand out. You can use smaller amounts of yellow accessories, flowers, or pictures.

6. Red

Use red to give a resonant and stimulating aspect to your rooms. A room with much red can increase the level of passion. Like orange, red is known to increase appetite and thus is widely used in kitchens.

7. Pink

The color pink creates a fresh and fine atmosphere in the house. It is soothing and comfortable. Some pink shades are very refreshing and sweet.

8. Purple

The color purple creates a luxurious and expensive environment to your home. If it has a bluish shade, it can be serene and calm and gives an air of mystery. Purple color has a long reputation of royalty and power.

9. Blue

The color blue creates a cool and clear look. You can use blue to create an atmosphere of work and meditation. A very light shade of blue can be used to enlarge the room. If used in the kitchen, paint, furniture, or dishes, the blue color is said to decrease appetite and you can lose weight.

10. Green

The color for a relaxing atmosphere in your home. Similar to blue, green is perceived as calm and clear. The color is associated with nature, growth, and renewal. Green helps to restore and rejuvenate depleted energy in nature. It presents a refuge from the stresses of a busy urban or contemporary life. The color restores a sense of natural well-being with its essence of stability. The best way to use green is to combine it with several colors.
