Ergonomic Residential Design

Lot Size: 130 sqm.

A better way of life that meets the standards of various human body types throvugh the use of Anthropometry, the scientific study of the measurements and proportions of the human body, and Ergonomically Functional furniture.

The minimum space requirements of the National Building Code

its purpose as a simple and functional design standard that does not limit designers’ creative freedom.

Light Beige Wood Cladding

White Wall Plaster

Light earth tones are used throughout the materials in contemporary residential design to brighten even the smallest of spaces.

Designed with ramps, handrails, and ergonomically designed furniture in mind for people with disabilities.

Dark Wood Furniture

Stac/k Bloc/s

Space Planning Design

Lot Size: 3000 sqm.

The color scheme and style of the building are transformed from Children’s Toy building blocks into contemporary and sophisticated building blocks.

To make it look like colored Toy Building blocks, the basic Circle, Cube, and Triangle are the primary forms of the building.

The term “Stac/k Bloc/s” was inspired by children’s construction blocks and how multi-story buildings stack.

The vibrant design will set the building apart from the City’s neutral warm color palette of new apartment complexes.

Dormitory space requirements are classified into four categories:

For ease of access, communal areas such as the Dining Hall, Entertainment Room, and Gym are positioned in the center of the ground level.

To ensure the safety of both parties, private areas, such as the male and female lobbies and units, are isolated and secured from each other.

The public space, which includes the lobby and waiting room for visitors, is positioned near the doors to prohibit access to individual male and female residents’ lobbies.

As a seclusion and limitation to non-workers, the Operations Section, which are the places and rooms only accessible by staff, is positioned towards the back of the ground level.

Waiting Shed

Multi-purpose Regenerative Design

Rebuilding Siargao - Archstroming Design Competition

Location: Siargao

Typhoon Odette left a bizarre devastation on the island of Siargao. Nonetheless, this event will serve as a lesson and an opportunity to repair and reinvent facilities most needed during a big typhoon.

All four group members collaborated to develop a solid, well-thoughtout plan for providing the necessary areas and regenerative technology for the project.

On a good day, this urban-rural design intervention attempts to provide an extra lifeline after a crisis while also serving as an ordinary waiting shed with a mixed-gender restroom.

Using solar cell panels and rainwater collection plumbing systems contributes to the project’s regenerative nature, making it more sustainable if and when the community’s primary water and energy sources are cut off.

It powers the lights, electrical outlets, lavatory, water closet, and garden irrigation. The community garden is for fast-growing crops like Talong, Petchay, and Repolyo, which can be harvested by the community if necessary.

San Miguel Urban Proposals

Sustainable Heritage Urban Design

Location: San Miguel District, Manila, Philippines

San Miguel is a Manila neighborhood with middle-class residents. The Malacanang Palace, the government’s headquarters, and the University Belt, which houses large educational institutions like universities and colleges, are also located in the region. On the other hand, the district’s west side is inhabited by a slum neighborhood and a crumbling structure.

Building Type Map

Educational institutions, colleges, and universities line the district’s northern boundary. Dormitory or other non-permanent housing for students studying at stated educational institutions surrounds it. These government offices, industrial facilities, and educational institutions are built around residential neighborhoods, making it easier for students and workers to go around.

Road and Public Transportation Map

The San Miguel district has a subsidiary road called Pascual Casal Roadway, which is red, and a tertiary street called Carlos Palanca/General Solano/Jose Laurel Street, which is orange. The principal roads are located outside of the San Miguel district line and are colored green, while the residential roads are colored teal. Private property service roads are pale blue. The streets in the San Miguel districts are comprised of a secondary road, a primary road, and a secondary road. Tertiary roads, residential roads, and service roads.

Population Density Map

The most densely populated barangays are 637, 644, and 648, with population densities ranging from 27,894 to 133,318. These are places of informal settlement and overcrowding housing developments and streets.

PROJECT 1

Unmaintained Building Renovation

PROJECT 2

Public Leisure Park

The suggested projects maintain the district’s sustainability, civilian safety, and urban design coherence.

PROJECT 3

Slum Upgrading

PROJECT 1

Unmaintained Building Renovation

Unmaintained structures had broken glass windows, cracked beams and columns, and an unsanitary environment.

With the necessity for a structural examination, it may be offered to renovate the entire structure to match the district’s architectural character. With bicycle routes and urban landscaping, the district’s environmental health can be improved even more.

PROJECT 2

Public Leisure Park

The Public Park was created by destroying an old structure. The San Miguel neighborhood lacks secure public open spaces, which is why the industrial property has been converted into an open space land zone to establish a leisure park for people from all walks of life. This park is located between industrial and residential land use zones. Thus it uses Green landscapes and hardscapes to break up the concrete buildings.

PROJECT 3

Slum Upgrading

The slum neighborhood in the San Miguel district is tucked between industrial facilities down a tight street with an old Islamic Arch. The roads are clogged with vehicles and “carinderas.” Thick bundles of electrical wires in the sky and garbage mounds on the street ground.

The slum improvement project included minor projects such as street cleanliness, sidewalk construction to broaden limited pedestrian areas, slum home restoration, and urban beautification.
