Understated beauty

In the emergent hustle and bustle in Metro Santa Rosa, the country’s first Zen-themed community of Tokyo Mansions is fast taking shape at South Forbes Golf City. Residences at Tokyo Mansions feature sleek lines, white walls, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and Modern Zen interiors and landscaping for a truly relaxing atmosphere.

Just as the personal experience of these New Age Asian-inspired Mansions is ethereal, the Tokyo Mansions Clubhouse offers an extraordinary and otherworldly respite. You drive around the main rotunda, mimicking a ripple effect with black, natural stones. Beyond the driveway are two blank white walls with reflecting pools in front, two lines of bamboo landscaping flanked behind the walls, and a view of two dark Japanese-tiled roofs just peeking above the wall. It just makes one curious about what could be beyond the stark walls.

Once you enter, the impact of the design delights your senses. Two separate structures connected by a vast open space welcome you. On the left is an air-conditioned social hall with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and wood frames. Sliding doors keep functions and meetings private and can be opened to make the area bigger in size, to 300 square meters. At left is a similar structure that serves as an open pavilion, flexible to suit any function. Al fresco dining areas fill the far end of both structures, which give diners the best views in this facility.

This view is no other than that of a three-level infinity pool. A reflecting pool cascades its waters to the children’s pool below, which then feeds a 25-meter long infinity pool. To further heighten the experience, you can take some time off, relax by the pool deck, and commune with nature as you view a virgin forest on the horizon.

Other features inspired by Zen will surely captivate your senses. Walk down the stairs to access the rock garden at the back of the cascading falls. Go up the viewing deck to have a commanding view of this rising city and the virgin forest. Check out the linear bamboo landscaping to see and hear the wind in motion.

With all of these features, the Tokyo Mansions Clubhouse suits the desire of sophisticated city dwellers for a tranquil structure that complements their serene homes. The Tokyo Mansions Clubhouse is an exclusive amenity for residents of Tokyo Mansions and their guests. Aside from this, residents get a free golf membership to the world-class, 18-hole South Forbes Golf Club designed by Asia’s leading golf course designer: the International Management Group (IMG).

South Forbes’ affiliation with the exclusive golf club of IMG Sports Club will surely excite Tokyo Mansions residents. Imagine getting preferred access and discounted rates in 42 world-class golf courses worldwide. Score an eagle at The Fox Valley Club in New York. Better yet, go for a hole-in-one at San Francisco’s prestigious Presidio Golf Course.
