Just outside the bustle of Metro Manila, Cavite is quietly shaping a new kind of community living. In Silang, Cypress Place Woodland Community by Livingsprings Communities Realty and Development Corporation introduces a blend of modern design, sustainability, and wellness. With cabin-inspired architecture, eco-friendly features, and thoughtfully planned spaces, it offers a glimpse of how future neighborhoods may look and feel and where nature and modern life exist side by side.

1. Cool Climate Convenience

Life in Silang means enjoying crisp air and greener views while staying close to city conveniences. Families have access to top schools and essentials, while major business hubs are less than an hour away. “At certain times of the day, you can travel from BGC in just around 54 minutes,” the developer noted. “We’re also only 27 minutes from Nuvali and about half an hour from Alabang.”

2. Everyday Sustainability

Eco-friendly living is built into daily life. From home gardening areas to landscaped green zones, the community encourages residents to live lighter. “One of the first things you’ll notice is the abundance of trees — you wake up to the sound of birds in the morning,” said Architect Monique C. Albert-Lopez. Homes are designed with thermal-insulated walls and layouts that support natural cooling, reducing reliance on air-conditioning.

3. Design That Works With Nature

Cabin-inspired homes embrace open layouts, natural finishes, and generous balconies that capture light and airflow. Beyond aesthetics, these spaces are designed for flexibility, whether for growing families, quiet retreats, or remote working setup.

4. Value Built Into Every Detail

Positioned as a sensibly priced option compared with premium Cavite and Tagaytay properties, the development balances accessibility with quality design. “Our pricing is right in the middle — not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but with a lot of value built in,” Albert-Lopez explained. “Being here means you get that cool Tagaytay breeze every day.”

5. A Wellness-Oriented Way of Life

Green spaces, meditation pods, and walkable, tree-lined roads are central to the community’s lifestyle. “Beyond sustainability, it’s really about the connection to nature,” Albert-Lopez shared. “We envision this as a place where families can grow surrounded by fresh air and open spaces  a serene lifestyle where comfort, greenery, and modern living blend.”

By combining thoughtful architecture, sustainable features, and an emphasis on wellness, Cypress Place Woodland Community reimagines what it means to live well in Cavite’s cool countryside.
