A Proposed General Hospital
A green architecture concept that considers not just the users but the environment as well, and at the same time, is sensitive to the differently-abled people for their safety and comfortability through universal design. Green architecture also helps in the overall thermal control, air quality, noise absorption within the hospital which has a concept of biophilia in some areas. The hospital will not only provide the best possible cure for its patients but also be considerate for them in every possible way. It has a garden view in every rooms and a roof garden perfect for relaxation and vegetation purposes.
Cube-like form as the initial start of the design. Separation of the different zones according to its purpose and connectivity in order to create easy flow of access, comfortability in atmosphere and a more interesting proportion.

A two-hands building form concept that is being expressed in geometric shape. It creates an opportunity for a natural ventilation and exposure to nature all around the hospital, creating a serene environment inside.
The common area while is inviting and relaxing, also serves as a visual connection from one building zone to the other. It is in a geometric form concept of Danao City’s map to have a grounded and centered effect to the location.

A Proposed Extended Emergency Facility
Location: Central Nautical Highway Danao City, Cebu
Category: Institutional
The Extended Emergency Facility is a state of the art facility. It can be shipped or move anywhere suitable for longer or shorter needs. From a solid building that can be transformed into a transportable prefab unit. No foundation is needed for the pods due to its stainless steel legs that can adjust even for uneven ground level. Not only is this sustainable solution effective for our isolation rooms but also for the nurse’s station and testing area since this innovative solution is adjustable where it can be joined either end to end, side to side or stacked up to create the desired form of the structure.
The expansion is self-deployed and can open up to about 3x its transport size. The furniture and appliances inside the pods are integrated inside and each unit is completely wired and has pipes in the walls for plumbing and/or ac purposes. It leaves ample room for systems and any other needed equipment.
The hospital and extended emergency facility uses eco-friendly strategies that can benefit both the users and the environment. It uses air spades, solar tubes, rainwater harvesting, solar panels, AeREUS system, green wall and roof, and LiteBlock material.
Specifically for the isolation room, it uses materials like adjustable stainless steel legs, plastic porta potty toilet, stainless steel sink, and container van walls.
