Philippine Craniofacial Centre is a state-owned tertiary hospital in Quezon City, Philippines. It is a 100-bed capacity hospital that specialises in the treatment of craniofacial defects Collaborated and partnered by (non- governmental organization) NGO around the world such as Operation Smile and Smile Train Inc

The goal is to design a specialty hospital that provides holistic care for children and adults with craniofacial deformity. Furthermore, the project also aims to promote and broaden public awareness about its patients’ conditions for them to gain reasonable social acceptance. Give the patients a chance in life to smile and live out their lives normally and to the fullest.

“Evolving Context in Architecture” Typology and Style are two different aspects of Architecture but both are subjected to change Change is inevitable, change is what makes people move forward The hospital also aims to break the preconceived notion about hospitals, healthcare facilities can be less intimidating and more welcoming

The concept revolves around the idea of filling in unique and essential spaces to the projects. These spaces help the patients to live their full life. In such narrative, people tend to have several stigmas against hospitals such as its too intimidating, too bland and too formal. The project wants to end these stigma and introduce a new hybrid in healthcare architecture. The gap symbolizes "cleft"
