BRIEF
Embarcadero Heights (Phase A) will offer four 3-bedroom 2-storey residential units that can accommodate up to 24 people. Situated in an urban zone in the 1st class municipality of Mangaldan, it is 11.7km (29 minutes) away from the nearby city of Dagupan and 214.1km (3 hours 18 minutes) away from the capital city of Manila. The nearest airport is Clark International Airport, situated 125.2km (1 hour 58 minutes) and the closest motorway is the TPLEX accessible via Urdaneta City Junction, which is 27.5km (44 minutes) away. There are good public transport links along the nearby National Highway 210.
The province of Pangasinan currently has a population of 3,163,190 upon which 113,185 lives in Mangaldan. Due to the rise in the local population, there is a sharp demand for affordable housing for young working families. The homes will be constructed with durable and sustainable materials ensuring the residents safety and comfort. The design incorporates passive daylighting and ventilation systems that are adopted from Philippine vernacular architecture. Each residential unit include a single car port to meet the legislative requirement for vehicle ownership and prevent traffic congestion along the Barangay Road.

Phase A is part of the overall proposal called Embarcadero Heights for the corner lot sitting along National Highway 210 and a Barangay Road. The total project will also offer four commercial units with upper floor storage units. The plot is currently sitting empty, hence this project will help with the economic regeneration of the area. Its proximity to schools and the business district makes it ideal for young families or co-living professionals working in local trades.

sustainable transport method that caters to different abilities whilst improving accessibility.
Solar panels to generate electrictity for the mechanical components of the building. Any surplus will be fed back to the grid.
Glazed curtain wall (rain screen) for protection from wind, rain & noise whilst allowing heat, light & passive ventilation into the circulation spaces & reducing noise emitted to the environment
Plugging in to off-shore wind farms like the Rampions similar energy generation strategy used by Glyndebourne Opera House
Recycling & upcycling will be prioritised in the production of props, costumes & merchendise.
Biophilic design to improve indoor air quality and outdoor experience of the green spaces, and to encourage biodiversity.

Floor area: 11170 m2 (The Hub) + 9690 m2 (Accommodation Block)
+ 23305 m2 (Bridge, Swimming Pond Deck & Access Road)
Cost per m2: £3376
The Hub: 11170 m2 x £3197 = £35,710,490
Accommodation Block: 9690 m2 x £3197 = £30,978,930
Outdoor Works: 23305 m2 x £2850 = £66,419,250

Allowance for risk (12%): £15,973,040
Total Cost: £149,081,710
Based on the total cost, the architect’s fees will be determined using AJ’s perecentage fee calculator an will be as follows:
Architect’s Fees (Traditional): £149,081,710 (Total Cost) x 3.2% = £4,774,750
Architect’s Fees (Design & Build): £149,081,710 (Total Cost) x 2.9% = £4,284,023
Consultant Fees (Traditional): Total Cost x 9.2% = £13,715,517
Total Professional Fees (Traditional): £4,774,750 + £13,715,517 = £18,490,267
