CHRISTIAN DEL ROSARIO

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Rizal Technological University and have over two years of collective architectural apprenticeship experience. I am setting out on an exciting journey of exploration and creation. With a good eye for design and a passion for altering spaces, I am eager to contribute new ideas and learn from the industry’s abundance of experience.

As I look to the future, I am excited about the endless possibilities that lie ahead. I am eager to continue learning, to take on new challenges, and to contribute to the field of architecture in meaningful ways. My goal is to create spaces that not only meet the needs of today but also anticipate the needs of tomorrow, spaces that tell a story, evoke emotion, and stand the test of time.

YINGST RESIDENCE

This residential project showcases a modern minimalist design that embodies clean lines, simplicity, and modern elegance. The architecture prioritizes open spaces and functional layouts, creating a harmonious blend of form and function. The design employs a neutral color palette, natural light, and high-quality materials to enhance the sense of tranquility and sophistication.

Key features include large, unobstructed windows that connect the interior with the natural surroundings, sleek fixtures, and minimalistic furnishings that emphasize the beauty of simplicity. The outdoor spaces are designed to be an extension of the indoor living areas, promoting a seamless flow between nature and home.

This project aims to create a serene and aesthetically pleasing environment, perfect for contemporary living. It balances modern design principles with practical elements, making it a perfect sanctuary for those who appreciate understated luxury and refined elegance.

The slightly sloping terrain adds a dynamic element to the site, allowing for innovative and thoughtful design solutions.

The combination of traditional vernacular design and modern construction techniques ensures that the development is both visually appealing and resilient, providing a perfect blend of past and present in a secure and serene setting.

To finalize the plans for their highly anticipated residential development this collaborative meeting marked a significant milestone in the project, where innovative design ideas and strategic planning were harmoniously aligned.

Following this productive meeting, the project reached another exciting phase with a groundbreaking ceremony. This momentous event celebrated the official commencement of construction and symbolized the transformation of vision into reality.

The facade was created with a modern minimalist approach and a classical touch on the fence, as per the specifications provided by the client. This type of design style was common and popular all over the country, demonstrating the purity and functionality of the structure while reducing construction costs by eliminating ornaments.

02 PIZARRA RESIDENCE

Situated on a small, urban site, the Compact House is a modern residential project meticulously designed for private life and pleasure. With a unique 6-meter-wide frontage serving as the sole entrance and exit, this house maximizes every inch of space to deliver a luxurious yet intimate living experience. The design philosophy centers around simplicity and efficiency, creating a harmonious blend of comfort and style within a compact footprint. The interiors feature clever storage solutions, multifunctional furniture, and open-plan layouts that enhance the sense of space and fluidity. Large windows ensure ample natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The Compact House stands as a testament to the idea that luxury and comfort can be achieved in small spaces, making it a perfect sanctuary for those who value privacy and elegance in an urban setting.

The architectural design embraces an open-plan concept, creating a seamless flow between different living spaces. This layout promotes a sense of spaciousness and connectivity, allowing for natural light to penetrate deep into the interior, thereby enhancing the overall ambiance and comfort.

A standout feature of the design is the elegant crescent-shaped stairway, which serves as both a functional element and a striking focal point. The crescent shape creates an inviting transition between levels, adding an element of visual interest and architectural charm.

This project features a luxurious fabricated jacuzzi on the deck, seamlessly integrating relaxation and sophistication into the outdoor living space. The jacuzzi, custom-built to fit the deck’s design, serves as a perfect spot for unwinding and enjoying the serene surroundings.

GUSHCLOUD FIT-OUT

The design proposal for the Gushcloud office fit-out focuses on creating a dynamic and inspiring workspace through an industrial design style approach. The aim is to foster creativity, collaboration, and productivity within a robust and aesthetically compelling environment.

The industrial design style is characterized by exposed structural elements, raw materials, and utilitarian features. This proposal leverages these elements to craft an open and flexible office layout. Key features include concrete rendering walls, which lend an authentic industrial charm to the space, and carpet tiles that provide comfort and noise reduction while complementing the overall aesthetic. Metal accents and exposed ductwork further enhance the raw, unfinished look, creating a harmonious blend of ruggedness and modern sophistication.

Functional areas such as collaborative workspaces, private meeting rooms, and breakout zones are strategically placed to encourage interaction and innovation. The use of large, open spaces and minimal partitions supports a sense of openness and transparency, reflecting Gushcloud’s dynamic and forward-thinking culture.

A combination of industrial and minimalist architecture style became the concept of this project. Complying with the client’s preference for an industrial look, which is the same as in one of their existing offices, we make sure the closest material of choice and vibe in the furniture were applied.

04 AGOHO PARISH

The facade redevelopment will breathe new life into the church’s exterior, ensuring it reflects both its historical roots and the aspirations of the parish community. The design will incorporate traditional architectural elements with modern enhancements, using materials that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing. The goal is to create a welcoming and inspiring entrance that embodies the spiritual essence of the church and invites the faithful to gather and worship.

A new bell tower will be constructed as a prominent feature of the church’s redevelopment. The bell tower will not only serve as a visual landmark but also as a functional element, calling the community to prayer and marking significant occasions.

Working on detailed building plans for permits and contractors was one of my project experiences. In addition, I was commissioned to produce a 3D exterior perspective for visualizations.

07 BRUT RESIDENCE

This project explores the conceptualization of Brutalist architecture within the context of a residential-type building. Brutalism, known for its stark, rugged aesthetic and emphasis on raw materials, is reimagined to create a unique and functional living space that celebrates the style’s bold characteristics while catering to modern residential needs.

The building’s design features the hallmark traits of Brutalism—massive, monolithic forms, and an unapologetic use of raw concrete. The exterior showcases a series of geometric shapes and large, unadorned surfaces that create a powerful visual impact.

Through massing and inspiration from different factors, resulting in a habit. I came up with a serious concept with a very manly approach to express my personality.

A massing that depicts constant form yet progressing volume that was affected by the orentation and variations of sensuous needs, such as the visual aspect.

Straight-to-the-point furniture and arrangement implies functionality and not overdoing the space, which can lead to focused tasks for the inhabitants.

08 PANGASINAN I.T. HUB

The Pangasinan I.T. Hub is envisioned as a multifunctional complex that combines office spaces, co-working areas, research facilities, and event venues. The design prioritizes sustainability, incorporating green building practices and energy-efficient technologies to minimize environmental impact and promote a healthy working environment.

This project aims to be the best in catalyzing digital transformation, and to be the pioneer in the region, and the central point of trade in the north, connecting Manila and other major cities in the Philippines.

This thesis not only addresses the technical and functional requirements of an I.T. hub but also considers the socio-economic context of Pangasinan, aiming to boost local employment opportunities, attract investment, and position the region as a key player in the Philippine technology sector.

The Pangasinan I.T. Hub is a testament to the potential of architecture to drive innovation and progress, creating spaces that inspire and support the next generation of tech leaders and entrepreneurs.

URDANETA CITY BYPASS ROAD (24 m WIDE ROAD)

The shape of the structure is determined by functionality and site-specific considerations. It is created from the permissible building footprint of the lot and was exposed to different alterations, such as rotation and extrusion, to determine the optimal orientation and adaptation on the site for the best view, temperature, and wind.

Because of the linear CBD plan from Brgy. Nancayasan to Brgy. San Vicente, the McArthur Highway is the most crowded road, resulting in considerable traffic. The site’s frontage is served by the newly constructed Urdaneta Bypass Road, which has eight lanes and excellent traffic conditions.

The site’s frontage along the Urdaneta City Bypass Road faces north and receives the majority of its wind from the north-northeast. The sun rises along the Mc Arthur Highway in Brgy. Nancayasan and sets along the Urdaneta City Bypass Road in the direction of Brgy. Palina West.

The property is accessible through the McArthur Highway and the recently constructed Urdaneta City Bypass Road.

The location is located on the flat terrain of Brgy. Sto. Domingo and offers an unobstructed view of the surrounding neighborhood, particularly from the north side of the lot. There are agricultural plains and low-density structures in the vicinity of the location.
