The project aims to revitalize the Sangley International Airport as a means of community enrichment through the concept of Biomimicry rooted in the collective behaviour of domestic mollusks.
Mussels are identified as the main design element due to its status as the main product for livelihood of locals. A tourism center operates within the proposed oyster mussel farm that adapts to the tide of the sea. The space is designed to create different experiences with the rise and fall of the water.
The project site, BASECO, is regarded as one of the biggest slums in the Metro Manila area. It was formerly a shipyard located by the mouth of Pasig River, which flows from Laguna Bay Lake to Manila Bay. Its low elevation makes the site vulnerable to flooding during storm surges and heavy rain. BASECO is disorganized, vulnerable to crime, and dilapidated. the proposal, ‘in-between,’ has the goal of bringing new urban quality by formalizing the residential area without compromising the baranggay’s identity and vitality.
A janapada is a kind of pathwalk that can be traced back to ancient civilization. It's concept of an elevated sidewalk accessible even during high tides is what we incorporated in our flood intervention system. The idea is to fight flood by letting it in and making room for it that can be enjoyable and beneficial for the residents. Baseco was revamped to be accessible and dignified.
commercial area in Baseco consists of the market building surrounded by informal housing and hiding behind is untouched green space. We want to improve safety perception in our commercial spaces and we borrowed jane jacob's eye on the street concept to achieve a sense of accountability within the users by exposing them to each other even in just tiny glimpses.
commercial intervention
The commercial area in BASECO is disorganized, vulnerable to crime, and dilapidated due to the presence of shanty houses and market pollution.
The proposal, ‘in-between,’ wishes to make the borders between recreation and commercial space ambiguous by plugging in pocket greenery and lively activities to combat monotonous work environment. The ‘in-between’ spaces increases visibility and more “eye on the street” will help increase accountability and reduce crimes.

High-Rise Design Clark, Pampanga

Banyan Tree prioritizes connection be it with the community, with architecture, with culture; they want to respect the local context and be an agent for memorable, authentic experiences. Hence, we designed our high-rise hotel to be reflective of Filipino, specifically Pampanga, culture. From the leaves that weave the Bahay Kubo to the 'Dukit' handcrafts of the natives, this project serves as a representative and our take on Banyan Tree's Philippine flagship.
Land Use Map Mabalacat, Pampanga
The hotel rooms and recreation spaces are oriented towards the west and east side where key landscape, such as the mountain ridges and the cityscape of Clark can be maximized. The curvilinear form of the building is a reference to the lifestyle of indigenous people, such as the Aeta. They are known as hunter-gatherers who build lean-to shelters as portable homes. This curve also allows the rooms to increase visibility for the landscape views.

Contour Map
We intended the building to connect to our local culture. Elements like this column are fashioned to resemble the anahaw leaves used to weave our thatched roofs.
The stairs that create a hill-like landscape over water. There is also a sense of a downward flow, like a waterfall flowing from above. The shape is inspired from the local Hagduan Falls.
The Conference Room features a distinctive parametric ceiling design. Its form mimics the curvilinear walls, harmonizing the interior space with the overall structure. SoftFold®'s Soft Sound® material are products that reduce the impact of noise resulting in a more acoustically controlled environment. The material works in concert with the curved design to help reduce and control reverberations and diffuse sound that are suitable for conference rooms.
Banyan provides meeting rooms for the teeming BPO industry of Clark who are looking for a luxurious space to set their meetings. We have 7 generous rooms ranging from 8-14 seating capacity that set the tone for an elevated office lifestyle
Premiere Room. 18th-23rd FL
The premiere room is designed with native artistry integrated into its walls, furniture, and fixtures. The wood panels used for the ceiling and walls are woven bamboo, locally known as Sawali, often used in the Bahay Kubo. In the bedroom, there are decorative wood panels and art from the local crafts of Pampanguenos known as Dukit.
The Presidential Suite is a two-storey suite with panoramic windows that offer spectacular views of Clark from the 24th floor. The leftover parts of the plan due to the strange shape of the building is utilized as planting strips that elevate the nature vibe of the space. The floor plan gives a look at the amenities and privileges provided by the presidential suite ranging from private onsens and spas to generous living spaces with its own living rooms.
