Human-centered design puts people at the heart of architectural innovation, considering people’s lifestyle needs and aspirations and creating real estate solutions to build better community living experiences.
Leading real estate developer Federal Land, Inc. has kept residents in mind as it incorporates human-centered design principles into its latest residential development, Heartwood Village in Biñan, Laguna. By putting resident happiness and satisfaction at the forefront of the master plan, Heartwood Village will be more than just a residential development, it will be a breathtaking sanctuary where a community thrives.
Heartwood Village’s masterplanning principles embody Federal Land’s commitment to redefining the modern living experience: from the intimate development scale to careful circulation planning, every aspect has been meticulously designed to emphasize comfort and connection.
Development scale
Heartwood Village is a 11.3 hectare horizontal residential development offering only 110 prime lots in Phase 1, combining the quiet charm of suburban living with seamless connectivity to urban conveniences. Intimate lot sizes allow for a village design that embraces a spirit of exclusivity, creating a haven where neighbors are friends and everyone knows each other. The small development scale fosters a small-town feel and strong community ties among neighbors.
Circulation
Heartwood Village is designed with five sub-neighborhood clusters, each consisting of just 30-49 lots, ensuring opportunities for residents to get to know their neighbors, build trust, and foster interaction. The sub-neighborhood structure also allows for easy circulation planning.
safety
Security is paramount in any community, and Heartwood Village has been designed with the safety and security of its residents in mind. The development features 24-hour security and a CCTV surveillance system. Additionally, the small size of the development fosters an intimate environment where residents can easily get to know other homeowners – an invaluable asset in an age when security is often sacrificed in the name of expansion.
Pedestrian movement
Navigation through Heartwood Village’s roads is effortless thanks to the well-thought-out Living Streets concept that shapes the development’s arterial roads – wide sidewalks with planting strips, safe bike lanes and ample parking. Heartwood Village limits its streetscape to four lanes on major arterial roads and two lanes on local roads and sub-districts, effectively easing traffic flows to allow residents to move freely and safely on foot and by bike.
Parks and Squares
Nature is at the heart of Heartwood Village, providing lush green spaces and tranquil parks where residents can relax and connect with the great outdoors. Whether it’s a central amenity park, interconnected parks that connect clusters of sub-districts, or pocket parks, green spaces are always within walking distance of everything. Here, residents can connect with nature and each other, fostering a sense of community that extends far beyond their front door.
Master Planned Community
Heartwood Village is part of Federal Land’s newest township development. Meadowcrest is a 48-hectare mixed-use master-planned community offering a unique lifestyle and business environment that is intimate yet complete. Quaint residential neighborhoods, commercial hubs and lush green spaces are designed to support a variety of functions to meet the needs and aspirations of residents.
Meadowcrest delivers intimate site footprints that capitalize on the 15-minute urban planning concept through a walkable, human-scale design that integrates pedestrian and bike lanes surrounded by lush tree canopy, beautiful landscaping and dedicated parklets.
At Heartwood Village, human-centered design isn’t just a philosophy, it’s a way of life. By prioritizing the needs and aspirations of its residents, Federal Land is creating more than just a lot — it’s a vibrant, thriving community where every individual is valued and every connection is treasured.
