Anyuhay
Paco Cultural Arts and Museum
Instructor: Kriselle Cortez | A.Y. 2019
ANYUHAY: is a Filipino term “banyuhay” meaning metamorphosis, and transform it into “ANYUHAY”, from “anyo” and “buhay”, which will give significance to the new form of life. We want this project to inspire others to rediscover its identity. Thus, this adapted-reuse architecture would be a learning place, with talks and events from the community, but more than that the function would be to promote and raise awareness of the preservation of this building.
The Site is 7,500 m² and it is located at Quirino Avenue, Pedro Gil Street Paco Manila. This Paco Cultural Arts & Museum is dedicated to our soldiers in the late 1900’s who bravely fought against Japanese soldiers in exchange for our country’s safety.
The objective is to retain the Paco Railway station facade. The project will obtain a wider institution, increasingly more open to society, more permeable and seductive, with dynamic programs, renewed offers, actions, and venues, signifying an engagement that reaches multiple social interests and serves itself as a social hub.
It has an active program of national and international artistic manifestations, including films, theater, dance, literature, visual arts, as well as internal publications and training workshops.

Street Mall
Commercial Rentable Spaces
Instructor: Kriselle Cortez | A.Y. 2018
The Site is located in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines; also known as Walking Street “Entertainment District.” The most painfully detached Filipino architecture in the rest of Angeles City–neon lights and bright colors make Walking Street in Fields Avenue impressively vivid every day.
This proposed “Street Mall” objective is to reunite the Street to the City as one by embracing the City’s heritage preservation to the overall design.
The 5,760 m² corner-through lot development accommodates twenty rentable spaces. The three-story commercial design utilizes the site road access to ensure the engagement of the community to the fullest and open up new job opportunities for career advancement.
The program requires a minimum of 16 commercial spaces.
The process of combining two different design cultures.
Utilizing access points to achieve airflow and good circulation.
Elevation/Section
Extrusion of the programs vertically to provide open space that will accommodate occupants with comfort.
T-House Residential Design
Instructor: Marc Emil Miranda | A.Y. 2018
The proposed design is a split level three-bedroom residential with a touch of tropical architecture. The clients are a young couple with a 2-years old toddler.
They want us to design an open planning approach but still have a sense of privacy that is welcoming.
The use of negative space by combining polished concrete walls and pre-fabricated wood panels across the entire design gives it a minimalist look.
You can spot the floor to ceiling sliding door panels from the main entrance to the foyer that gives the right amount of sunlight through the entire living space.
Commercial Alley
2116 Nicollet Ave Development
Instructor: Molly Dalsin A.Y. Fall 2022
This project brings together the public and private realms serving the neighborhood of Whittier along the street of Nicollet. As a primary objective, the development creates an opportunity that brings people together and partakes spatial experience — to encourage the end-users and embrace the culture embedded into the community.
Connecting housing above and community space below, this project creates a new space rhythm that provides innovative ways to create a high-quality affordable spaces for the community to engage with regularly
Frontera
Condominium-Hotel with Commercial Hub
Instructor: Kriselle Cortez | A.Y. 2020
Partner: Armin Cochon, Jan Mendoza
The site’s location is in Angeles City, Pampanga. A strategic location for business growth served by the Clark International Airport.
Urban planning in the Philippines is often cited as inadequate. Therefore, it is the primary cause of traffic congestion and land scarcity in the Philippines. Although, even a simple analysis shows that infrastructure should not be blamed entirely for the problem.
As Angeles City moves towards this upward trend, the interests of both local and foreign investors will continue to peak, uplifting not only people to migrate.
– but also the influence of new technologies is arising that will cause in expanding Angeles’ economic growth.
The proponents come up with a concept of compact development with more green and open spaces that will promote a sustainable way of living. This project can minimize problems, such as noise, air pollution, travel time cost, and negative automobile dependency.
It is a vertical development that meets essential needs for housing, recreation, health care, and other related facilities, optimizing the efficiency of the community.
The development provides a three separate program types: residential, commercial, recreational.
The programs are strategically combined in a medium-rise setting to achieve a mixed-use development for residence, tourists, young professionals, and OFW’s.
All program areas, entrances, and circulation are connected towards the central podium. Situated in the mid-floor that provides access in both private and public sector.
The program in residential area, both facing together to provide shading for the recreation space. The buildings rotation is 180 degrees from North-East orientation for a better airflow called Amihan Winds.
The development project is projected for 10-years. Providing accessibility in both towers increases better circulation and connection of the spaces.
The orientation of the site from the North-East visual relationship with Mount Arayat from the condotel rooms can attract tourist investors and visitors.
Development Phase
The composition of this mixed-use project proposal outlines its inspiration from an old stone house in Angeles City known as Bahay na Bato. This type of house is made out of stone blocks on the ground floor and wood panels on the upper floor. The ground floor is mostly used for storage while the upper part is the residence.
It acts as a visual representation and reflection on today’s concept of how modernization evolved in times that brings a whole new image to the overall design approach; A merging of things traditional and modern.
