PROFILE
From an early age, I have always been fascinated with design, be it in cars, houses, airplanes, or technology. Eventually, when I had to choose what course to take in college, it was just a no-brainer that I chose a program inclined towards design. This is the reason why I pursued Architecture as my future career. It is just fulfilling that you are studying the things that you are passionate about.
After graduating and becoming a full-fledged designer, I immediately worked in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Industry in the Philippines. My more than four years of working in the industry taught me a lot about the characteristic peculiarities and technicalities of the Architecture profession as well as the other construction trades that the field works with.
Unfortunately, during my time in the industry, I became aware of the struggles the Architecture profession is facing in my home country. That’s when I started to explore opportunities abroad and search for greener pastures elsewhere. So when the opportunity to come to Canada came, without hesitation, I decided to go for it.
The journey of studying again and moving to a new country by yourself in your late 20s might seem too risky and overwhelming at first, but these are the things that I need to conquer if I want to have a better and more rewarding future ahead of me.

TEAL-PLEX RESIDENCES
SUBJECT:
Architecural Studio - Winter 2023
WORK TFLOW:
Autocad, Sketch-Up, Manual Rendering
The 4-Unit Live Residence (Four-Plex) was the first design project for the Architectural Studio subject. We were tasked to design four residential units with identical layouts with a maximum of 120 sqm livable space. For the plans, we were allowed to use Autocad but for the perspective and elevations, manual rendering was required.

For the term project of the Prof Prac class, we were divided into groups to do the assignment. Each group was tasked to design a Garden Suite/ Backyard Housing with the instructor acting as the client. We acted as owners cum designers of our own drafting firms. All the basic services as per RAIC doc 6 were included such as Pre-Design & Schematic (Development Permit), Construction Drawings & Specs (Building Permit), Tender Package (Procurement and Contract Administration), and the Construction Phase (Revit)w. In addition, applicable provisions of NBC 2019 - Alberta Edition for residential construction and the Edmonton Zoning by-Law 12800 for Backyard Housing were applied to the project.

SUBJECT & TERM: Fall 2023 & Winter 2024 - Architectural Construction Documents II and III - BIM Application
This project encompasses two terms of the BIM Application class. For the first one, we were tasked to do a set of construction drawings for the “Core and Shell”, the building envelope, of a 3-storey medium-sized commercial/ institutional building. Meanwhile, the interior construction of the building was required for the next term. Application ``vof the NBC-Alberta Edition was taken into consideration for vertical circulation, fire rated walls, plumbing fixtures, and occupant load. Some details (picture above) were done in AutoCad in the construction detailing class.

Built - Turned Over to End-User (November 2023)
WORK FLOW:
Revit, Autocad, Sketch-Up, Lumion, Photoshop
The New Women’s Dorm is a 2-storey building built to supplement the existing dormitory as it was about to exceed capacity. As the University President wanted to incorporate local architecture to future university building, hints of design influenced by Mindanao Architecture, which is heavily influenced by Malayan, local tribes , Islamic and Tropical architecture , are present in the structure, as evidenced by the high-pitched roofs, large overhangs, and large windows, to promote cross ventilation. The highlight of the structure is the central courtyard covered with polycarbonate roofing as it provides the much needed ventilation and natural lighting.

LOCATION:
University of Southern Mindanao, Kabacan, Philippines
WORK FLOW:
Autocad, Sketch-Up, Lumion, Photoshop
Built for the Criminology Department, the 2-storey structure houses the required spaces needed by the department to simulate the real-world work environment of the future police force. The inspiration for the façade is a shield-like emblem symbolizing the logo of the police force as well as reflecting its local slogan of “to serve and protect”. Decorative patterns from the local tribes can be found in the façade and interior elements of the building to complement the patterns found in the main building of the College of Arts & Sciences in which the department is under.

The Geographic System Information (GIS) Center is an externally funded project under the College of Agriculture. It will serve as the support center for high-value commodities and indigenous crops in the South Central Mindanao region. The building has a curved roof, ACP canopies and overhangs, wood and stone cladding in line with the theme of new buildings in the university at that time.

The new building of the Institute of Middle-East and Asian Studies (IMEAS) is a 2-storey structure which will be the new home of the college. Two offices and eight standard-sized lecture rooms are found in the building. To complement the existing Mosque-like building of the college, Islamic architecture influences and patterns are evident in the façade of the building like arch patterns and arch-shaped windows.

The Psychosocial Center is a 2-story building constructed for the Department of Psychology under the College of Arts and Social Sciences. As it will be built beside the Criminology Laboratory, design elements were adapted to make the architectural styles coherent with the building. As such, gradient paint effects and decorative tribal patterns can found in the façade.
13 TRADES BUILDING
LOCATION:
University of Southern Mindanao, Kidapawan Campus, Philippines
WORK FLOW:
Autocad, Sketch-Up, Lumion, Photoshop
This project involves the renovation of the existing Trades Building in one of the university’s satellite campuses. The original single-storey structure will be converted to a two-storey building with the lecture room on the left-most part of the existing structure to be retained. Aside from that, smaller lecture areas, faculty offices, stock and tool rooms can also be found in the building. Expansive overhangs were utilized to provide shelter from the intense sun and heavy rains which are common occurrences in a tropical setting.

07 MIXED-USE COMMERCIAL
LOCATION: USM Avenue, Kabacan, Philippines
WORKFLOW: AutoCad, Sketch-Up, Vray, Lumion, Photoshop
Located in a busy street headed to one of the biggest state universities in the region, this project is a mixed-use building with commercial spaces for rent on the ground floor and dorm rooms for rent on the second floor. An owner’s quarter with garage space for one vehicle can also be found towards the end of the property away from the street.
