The proposed Tagaytay City Hall is an offspring of two different worlds which envisions to blur the lines between architecture and nature. This means that the building will grow together with the environment it sits in rather that just resting onto it.
The City Hall development of Tagaytay prioritizes nature as its design focus while being user-centric. Thus, the designers took consideration of the existing geography and climate that is intimate to the site. Tagaytay, being known for its unique climate in the province of Cavite, motivates the designers to utilize what are present, take full consideration of it, and then optimize architecture to not just retain it, but develop.
One of the unique geographical characters of Tagaytay is its topography. Considering several sloping terrains, and a generous number of pine trees, the designers must be mindful of how they should be safely retained. The building design must also address wide window openings to welcome cold breeze, and let the building grow with the nature it lives with.
