with the fact that the existing amenities –
such as play areas and sporting areas – were
being utilised to the fullest. Therefore, the
purpose of many meetings and discussions
was where to put what, what to put in, what
to leave out.

We also discussed this important question:
How can we use this opportunity for
redevelopment not only to enhance the
actual Clubhouse complex, but also to
meet the needs of the homeowners on
the estate? Different options, zonings and
variations were also discussed.

So, what you see today is due to the hard
work of a group of enthusiastic homeowners
and our HOA staff.

The questionnaires sent out gave the
committee a definite guideline on these
aspects, as well as on the architecture. That’s
because the homeowners chose to keep
the existing colonial/Palladian architectural
style of symmetry and balance – with the
Corinthian columns, clock tower, arched
terrace and corbelling details directing the
style of the additions.

Keeping it elegant, with timeless finishes, is
to be our focus. So is preserving key features
such as the grand entrance, symmetry, the
roof-mounted clock tower and other details.
The curved terrace detail on the golf course
side will be safeguarded, as will the soft-
edged landscaping and integrated design.
