Bella Oceana Residential Community

The massing and the size of the buildings is used to further enhance the community. Phase 1 of the development includes five three-storey linear buildings that against the perimeter of the site backing on to a very heavily trafficked highway connecting Sicily to Venice. The design and positioning of these buildings together with dense planting along the perimeter buffers residents from the noise and pollution from the highway. The backs of these buildings are solid with limited apertures while the ‘front’ is almost 100% glazed offering views to the Ocean.

Phase 2 buildings are smaller unites placed in clusters. All are 2-storey containing 12 apartments are designed with large terraces to enjoy characteristic of building in the neighbourhood and the ground floor apartments are also equipped with individual swimming pools. The units are positioned in clusters circumventing the central lake. All buildings maintain a minimum of 10-metre separation on all 4 sides.

As part of this phase a community centre housing the Community Management office together with small retail and F&B space is also planned.

Phase 3 buildings are more luxurious, positioned and orientated to enjoy uninterrupted views of the ocean. Only 2 units per floor and limited to two storeys, the buildings are stepped to take advantage of the natural sloping terrain. Appealing to a different demographic, Phase 3 is separated from the initial 2 phases intentionally, more spaciously planned with walkways and cycleways buffered by planting from the vehicular routes.
