The design aims to provide security and privacy as well as a shade from the strong tropical sun by incorporating vertical operable shutters throughout the home. The façade of the house was designed with operable shutters that creates a well-illuminated entrance and hallway to the bedrooms when open as well as creating a more playful façade when closed. The rear side of the house was designed to maximize the beautiful view of the place. It follows the slope of the site and integrates a tiered garden, which emphasizes the original site contours. Operable shutters were also incorporated in order to provide sufficient shade and privacy when needed. Taking inspiration from the observed natural environment of Caliraya and its playful terrains along with natural creeks that sprawl within its vast lands, the intention was to create a space that blends and harmonizes with its setting, creating a place of belonging with ones surroundings. Similarly, the interiors of the house revolve around mimicking its observed natural environment. Taking inspiration for this, forms are deconstructed and polished for application in the human scale. Natural elements like wood and water add warmth and life while terraneous cleft limestone accents bring the outdoors and earth elements in. The interior dons natural wood as its primary finish to contrast the hard finishes within the house and cool climate of Caliraya. Practicality without sacrificing style is interpreted through straightforward silhouettes, strategic accent placements and organic textures. 2021 Ikebana House Supima Sports and Supima Residences Bacoor Bay Hongji Gardens Park Royal Ongpin Jinxi Seaview City Upper West Parc Imperial Era Mansions Vivace Parkways High Gardens Golden Bay Extension Esperanza Tower Silhouette Corner House One Six Wilson Gardens Riverpark Manila Pockets of Nature Chateau Lorraine Bataan Terminal and Convention Center Enclaves Residence C3 Residence Yung Green Harbor Tropical Loggia Cruz Residence Cambridge Residences Garden City Grand Titanic Brick House Casa Sol Omni Gardens Balay Luce 4PH Housing Project The Empyrean Roxas Condominium 15 Dancalan Residence Balintawak Cloverleaf Legazpi Park Terraces Twelve Luxury Flats The Urban Block Hiribaco Resort Pawikan House Cloudscape Tagaytay Cloud Citadel Baigad Bantayan Villas Bougainvilla Residence Balay Doppio Zoey Courtyard Residences Artisan Tower Chi Residences Yap Residence Chinatown Oasis Angeles Urban Hub Morong Farmhouse The Crossing Highlands Condo Residences

From its exterior, the residence appears to be one unified structure. However, upon entering the main foyer, the distinction between units is made apparent by the common open spaces that weave a connection from home to home. The spaces in the individual homes are all oriented inwards, towards the grand lawn and lap pool, providing a reprieve from the outside world. The families share a garden and a swimming pool, both located in the center of the compound and accessible to everyone. The exterior and the interiors make use of neutral finishes in wood, stone or metal. The interiors’ layout maximizes the use of space while allowing easy movement and flow for people. The multiple windows and canopies allow daylight to brighten up the covered areas and rooms, giving the three homes a vibrancy and an abundance of natural light. 2014 Vivace Parkways Hongji Gardens Twelve Luxury Flats Imperial Era Mansions Supima Sports and Supima Residences Golden Bay Extension Highlands Condo Residences Bacoor Bay Park Royal Ongpin Esperanza Tower Ikebana House The Crossing Yung Green Harbor Bougainvilla Residence Omni Gardens Pawikan House Jinxi Seaview City Cambridge Residences Balay Doppio Casa Sol Zoey Courtyard Residences Yap Residence 4PH Housing Project Artisan Tower Angeles Urban Hub Baigad Bantayan Villas Cruz Residence Upper West Parc Bataan Terminal and Convention Center Silhouette Chi Residences Cloudscape Tagaytay Enclaves Residence Chateau Lorraine The Urban Block The Empyrean Hiribaco Resort 15 Dancalan Residence Balay Luce Tropical Loggia Roxas Condominium Legazpi Park Terraces High Gardens Garden City Grand Titanic Riverpark Manila One Six Wilson Gardens Chan Residence Brick House Balintawak Cloverleaf Morong Farmhouse Corner House Cloud Citadel Pockets of Nature Chinatown Oasis

Architecture must reflect the existing realities on the ground as a strong influence for the development of social infrastructure. Tagpuan examines the densest district in the world, its history and culture through its streetscapes, as a microcosm of the Philippines and a representative urban typology of how to live as Filipinos do in contrast to more common vertical urban growth patterns. Tagpuan, meaning rendezvous or meeting point, is the intersection of Philippine life. The slice of Mata street develops a document of the organic processes and activities of daily Filipino life. Mata Street was chosen as the study block because it best represents the average Tondo alley. It most accurately boasts the lively Filipino street to a wider global audience

The project is intended to serve three distinct functions with a social component, a research component, and a program prototype component. The project maps out various public spaces throughout the city that have a high volume of pedestrian traffic. It serves as a redistribution point for old books, allowing the open and free sharing or transfer of ideas from one person to another. It’s mobility allows it to be placed in the most underserved areas and allows it to reach a broader slice of the population. As a research tool, it serves as a data gathering center for the demand for public libraries in various neighborhoods. This allows planners and policy makers to determine where libraries can make the most impact and which communities can utilize them the most. The Book Stop Project is a prototype that determines the role that libraries play in contemporary urban societies and the shape that they may take as society develops and grows.

  • Kalin Building | WTA Design Studio

    Commercial DOWNLOAD PDF Residential & Mixed Use Sports Master Planning Office Transport & Infrastructure Houses Commercial Institutional & Religion Retail Hospitality Education & Healthcare Competition & Research Interiors Kalin Building Location: Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila Plot Area: 1,529.9 SQM Storeys: 6 Year: Floor Area: Status: 2018 2,343 SQM Concept Description The idea is to convert the intangibility of the building’s linear process through its tangible form. This creates an architecture that creates direct movement and stability of process. The repetition of linear process creates a series of vertical elements that define the volumetric form from exterior to interior. The vertical fins give an interplay between transparency and opacity as well as proper light and ventilation. The gradient colors reflect the complexity of the office space and its identity. The resulting architecture gives spatial experience inside and out.
