THE B U S AY STRAND
On the mountainside will rise a string of condominium buildings, hotel, chapel, art galler y, a shopping center, cafes and even a market which will only have the best farm, meat and sea produce. Each building in this complex will be dependent on and essential to each other, affording residents and guests the luxur y of modern urban conveniences but away from the noise and pollution of the cit y. Instead of streets, walkways will connect one building to another. It will be as if the complex were a strand of pearls in a necklace.
There is an art in stringing a string of beads. Each bead is carefully chose for its color, shape, qualit y based on an over-all design. The more artistically done, the greater the value. This is the design concept of Busay STRAND — an integrated and linked communit y enjoying a high qualit y of living distinct from the cit y yet still within easy reach. It is a place people will be please to come home to or an enclave they will not need to leave. Busay Strand is art that resides in the mountains.
