Wednesday, April 30, 2008 South American-inspired homes of Riverdale
TRUE to the American South charm, Riverdale is embodied by large American South homes whose architectural character comprise balconies, covered porches, long staircases, and exterior walls clad with clapboards.
These remarkable homes are intended for wet, hot climates and are designed to allow as much air movement as possible - porches that extend the floor plan under a gabled roof and evenly spaced windows designed to capture a hint of breeze.
Often referred to as the gallery, big enough to suit a wicker sofa and coffee table, the porch is a great place to breathe in the morning air or spend idle time in the evenings.
The house opens to carefully assigned rooms filled with light from abundant windows. Balconies are often added on the second landing which allows you a better view of the whole expanse of the community. For free site visits, one may visit Communities Phils. in their Cebu office at G/F, Dakay Bldg., Escario St., Capitol Site, Cebu City.
Crown Riverdale is a great place to get away from the noise of the city. Someplace where lush of green abounds and beautiful landscape intricately designed to grant you solace. A place to lay back and take in the tranquility of a birds in symphony, feel the touch of a gentle breeze and be among the majestic vastness of nature; to be in an environment as laid back and charming as the American South.
Riverdale is just 15 minutes away from the Banilad Town Center and Gaisano Country Mall, 30 minutes from Ayala Center, and a mere 10 minutes from Sacred Heart School at Canduman, Mandaue and the University of San Carlos Talamban Campus.
It carries a residential resort theme featuring the classic feel of the American South. Phase 1 comprises 13 hectares with lot sizes averaging 300 square meters.
Riverdale has three distinctive enclaves: The Ridge, with lot-only packages; The Valley, with terrain homes and flat homes with lot-only packages and The Peak Park, as the central amenity area, with a combination of lot-only and Terrain Homes.
Model house units will include the flat homes of Bauhinia and Jacaranda and the terrain homes: Amaryllis, Allamanda and Ambrosia.
