MASETERA HILLS TORIL

PROJECT TYPE: Economic housing, subdivision development, undergraduate thesis

LOCATION:

Toril, Davao del Sur

This project intended to examine the impact of material accumulation to spatial needs, behavioral tendencies, and residential satisfaction models. Through the application of a mixed-methods approach, with existing theories and employment of an integrated questionnaire of Residential Satisfaction and Clutter Quality, spatial mapping and 3D modeling, thematic, correlational, and comparative analysis, the role of material accumulation in the architectural context of a Filipino house was determined. Case studies conducted in Deca Homes Tacunan and Wellspring Village Catalunan

SOFTWARES USED: SketchUp AutoCAD

Pequeño, Davao City, revealed the significance of the distribution of setbacks and strategies for proportion of rooms and fenestration elements in influencing how material accumulates along a family’s life stage. Toys and clothes were the most substantial materials found in most spaces. Thus, spaces must be designed with anticipated readiness for expansion and expected influx of material accumulation. This includes the formalization of spaces such as the kitchen and laundry areas, optimized material specifications, and inclusion of utility provisions for the new core unit.

Informed by the major findings of the study on the role of material accumulation in a typical Filipino household, a new core unit was designed. Room sizes, fenestration requirements, furniture layouts, and core provisions were all tailored to accommodate a typical family’s incremental growth.

To ensure optimal residential satisfaction within the neighborhood, pedestrian facilities were prioritized to enhance mobility between various community facilities. Localization of green spaces and social hotspots enable cohesion and synergy for placemaking.

MAGUGPO CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS

PROJECT TYPE: Auditorium/Theater hall, institutional

ROLE: Design conceptualization, site development, space programming & planning, architectural visualization

Given with a conceptual design problem demanding to provide a place for the people of Mindanao to look back in history with the showcase of indigenous arts and culture of the region, the idea for a museum emerged. It is intended to accommodate for the display and conservation of indigenous arts of Mindanao and showcase its rich culture, of which the building form should be reflective of, by means of creative at the same time technological in design character.

LOCATION: Tagum City

CO-PROPONENTS: Nelson

Paying homage to the very fabric of nature who nurtured life, the spirit of the indigenous arts and cultures of Mindanao are celebrated in the modern narrative. Reliving the journey of the first men of our land, it attempts to strike balance between the looming modernism and the antiquity of a barefooted trail. Infused with Art Deco elements and the Palms of Tagum, it is a contemporary translation to an otherwise eclectic pool of cultures.

THE SOUTH ORIENTAL BLDG.

PROJECT TYPE: Mid-rise office/commercial development

ROLE: Main design concepts, building façade, space planning, architectural visualization

The project was an academic exercise on navigating building restrictions due to developmental controls, as well as an exploration to the planning of mid-rise buildings. By implementing incremental setbacks and using it as a striking element for the building’s silhouette, the team has managed to maximize the capacity of the property, while providing ample provisions for office, and even commercial spaces.

LOCATION: Conceptual site (by instructor)

CO-PROPONENTS: Nelson

Through the deconstruction of the elements of the Torogan’s panolong of the Maranaos, the material typologies of the Bahay na Bato, and the ornate decors and arcades from Neoclassical architecture, the South Oriental Building showcases a fusion of the old and new.

ABITRIA ' S LECHON BAKA

PROJECT TYPE: Interior design, commercial

ROLE:

Redesign interior spaces with specifications, furniture details, and rendered perspectives

The project involved curating interior details and renovation of the existing stall for a Lechon Baka store in Cagayan de Oro City. The client desired to incorporate classic and rustic elements, mimicking the visuals of a barn or country-themed building.

The design process involved the determination of the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities available in the site, as well as the

emphasis on flexibility to further suit the design to the client’s budget and the expected customer’s behavior. With that in mind, space planning and development was essential in anticipating the movements and providing responsive cues for the customers. Basic fenestration requirements and thermal comfort was also central during the conceptualization phase, as the area was lacking in vegetation and shade.
