‘HanLux Lifestyle Resort’ compromises a 450ha site within the mountainous landscapes of Luzon at approximately 100 Km North of Manila. Located along the extended foothills of the mountain ridge that holds Mount Pinatubo, the site accommodates a unique volcanic landscape typically known for its rich ecology.
A sensitive landscape planning methodology has been adopted to outline the project boundaries and to conceptualize the Master Plan. This compromises intensive terrain assessments, topographical and hydrological studies, mapping of GIS data, VR studies and 3D printing to fully capture the terrain morphology.
The Master Plan brief required an Integrated Golf Resort, compromising 54 holes, 3 Five star branded resorts, Outdoor Leisure activities, Public amenities and an efficient circulation system.
The Concept of the Master Plan has been guided by a desire to accommodate human use of the land with its inherent natural processes and natural history. Existing valley streams and their associated vegetation are identified as the project’s blue- and green systems. These associated systems are labelled as “Eco-corridors” and co-exist with the development program. They form the backbone of the overall project framework around which circulation systems, hotel plots and recreational uses where developed.
The design team believes that the success of Han Lux Lifestyle Resort relies on its commitment and persistence to hold up the strong ecological value and landscape framework that the site provides. As a model for sustainability and eco-tourism the development is thereby tethered to the local ecosystem and linked into regional awareness and strong environmental stewardship.
