I was invited to write about
Alila Penang - the Premium Property in Penang, and as I walked through the surrounding, experiencing a totally refresh, close-to-nature environment, I was almost lost in paradise!
Alila is a renaissance of tropical architecture and living. Modern tropical architecture combines beautiful forms with natural elements to create a tranquil environment in harmony with nature. Water features, such as lily ponds and cascades, and coconut trees are dominant features of the tropical landscape, creating a soothing, tropical sanctuary for the mind, body and soul.
Alila is located on a tranquil hill slope bounded by dense vegetation. It is situated within minutes from the picturesque coast of Tanjung Bungah and conveniently a short drive from George Town and other major hubs in
Penang.
This 18.38 acres gated garden village comprises a clubhouse and 426 residential units. Alila wll be built in 3 phases with the first phase of condominiums and penthouses currently under construction. The development is expected to be completed in year 2007.
A unique feature of Alila is its eco-development approach to its construction. Native foliage from the site will be transported to another suitable habitat during the construction stage and after completion of the development, will be replanted back. The purpose behind such environmental protective measures is to attract the native wildlife back into the residential area and restore harmony to the area's ecosystem.
In order to compliment the original land form, the internal driveway was designed to be only 24 feet wide. The access roads closely mirror the natural contours of the land winding through the site and in the process forming secluded cul-de-sacs.
The building design concept offer tropical elegance with modern functionality. Extensive glazings and other design elements that create an enhanced sense of space and invite natural light into the homes. Interiors are visually extended by blurring physical boundaries to bring the natural outdoors in.
The gem of the development amongst lush greenery with its back to nature feel. The clubhouse serves to complement the residential design and providing a mix of functions.
As one enters the compound, one will be lead by a route lined by green.
The two storey pavilion houses a lobby, a cafetaria, a gymnasium and sitting area at ground fllor. The open side cafetaria is surounded by reflecting pools - sense of lightness.
