The residential resort which has an area of 5 hectares is masterplanned into a hotel, residential condominium buildings, and an entertainment and gaming center community, capped with a spectacular "white sand" beach front.

E. What part of the residential resort will be launched first?

We will first launch the residential community. The first two (2) buildings to be launched are 14 and 18 storeys. Together with the residential towers, construction of the amenities such as the clubhouse and the swimming pool are also scheduled.

F. What will the style of the Resort be?

The resort will follow the theme of Gold Coast, Australian architecture.

Architectural Design

Taking inspiration from Gold Coast architecture, Amisa bolding responds to the rapidly increasing demand for modern leisure island living.

The resort development was conceived to allow its users to enjoy an active interaction with nature while preserving and enhancing its environment. The concept of the towers soaring above the rest of the natural site takes advantage of the picturesque views it offers. All units are guaranteed either a view of the meticulously planned amenities, the perfectly manicured resort, or the ever-soothing sea. Such confidence and exuberance definitely establishes Amisa as a defining hallmark of the island. Every unit is also provided with a spacious balcony which cantilevers beyond the main structure of the building as a more overt sculptural composition. The union of the curvaceous balconies to the commanding structure mimics the smooth waves and the infinite expanse of the ocean. The balconies enliven the buildings with their deep and fluid shadows. Daylight enhances the beauty of this development through the large windows.

Landscape Design based on Gold Coast Theme

The main aim of the landscape architectural design for Amisa is to provide appropriate settings for the three major architectural elements in the project---the residential condominium buildings, the hotel and the gaming complex.

These building complexes are set amidst an environment that provides a holiday ambiance and a relaxing, stree-free, fun setting that residents and guests will want to return to often, a total escape form the blandness of urban life.

G. Who will design the development?
