Hi! I am Rommel M. Ruanto Jr. but you can call me “RJ” instead. I am currently pursuing Bachelor of Science in Architecture as a fourth-year student at the Technological Institure of the Philippines QC campus. As an architecture student, I am constantly seeking new ways to express myself and my I deas. My passion for architecture drives me to explore different styles, philosophies and projects. I am also open-minded and eager to learn, always seeking out new knowledge and experiences. This curiosity fuels my creativity and allows me to approach challenges with an open mind. Overall, I believe that my creativity, passion, and openness make me a well-rounded individual who is always striving for personal growth.

Public Market
with Terminal and Commercial Building
Location: Divisoria - Tondo , Manila
Design Concept:
“Kinaiya” is a term that refers to the inner character and all good attributes and complexities that makes a specific thing what they are supposed to be. Which helps to redefine and erase the bad image of a public market here in the Philippines.
FORM CONCEPT
In relation to the overall concept, the form of the market is based on a flower that haven't bloom yet that still has a lot to offer behind the petals that resembles the market's image which I think, being generalized with negative perspectives
WEATHERING STEEL LOUVBERS
3 FUNCTION ROOFING
100% AIRFLOW
RAINWATER HARVESTING ALGAE POWERED STRUCTURE
THE WHOLE PUBLIC MARKET IS POWERED BY THE ALGAE ROOFING SYSTEM WHICH IS MOSTLY USED ONLY AS A FACADE. THE FRAMING IS AN ALUMINUM BUILT FRAME CASTED WITH ALGAE AND ITS EXTRACT MIXED WITH WATER SOLUTION THAT GROWS BY THE SUN THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE HARVESTING ROOM THAT CONVERTS THE COLLECTED POWER TO ELECTRICTY THAT IS LESS PRICEY THAN SOLAR PANELS

Project info:
The “Two Face House” is a 120 sqm Duplex House built for Twin Sisters and their own respective families.
Design Concept:
The idea behind this home is to display two contrasting styles to offer various flavors even even though the residence is equivalent in size and space to make at least one distinction because I envisioned that despite the clients being twins, they would have different tastes in homes.

“SEE-LEAP”
- a visionary creation that invites you to behold paradise while leaping into the future. The guiding principle behind this project is “METAMORPHOSIS,” where the architectural concept aims to seamlessly merge the rich tapestry of history, culture, tradition, and identity of Tanauan, Batangas with avant-garde design elements. By harmonizing the elements of both old and new architectural styles, our intention is to ignite the emergence of a transformative Filipino Technovernacular Architecture that honors its distinct cultural essence.
