TAHAO PLAZA The plant layout will be characterized by 3 layers per section: (1) Tall Tree Foliage, which will be located at the back to conceal blank walls and to delineate the back end boundary of the landscape; (2) Medium-sized bushes, that will create interesting landscape volumes that are well within human reach; and (3) Ground cover plants, these are colorful plants and flowers that provide more detailed texture to the landscape, hence a viable delineation that separates hardscape from softscape. THE LIFESTYLE PARK A lifestyle park typically refers to a recreational area designed to cater to various aspects of people's lifestyles, offering amenities and activities that promote health, wellness, leisure, and social interaction.

The city still serves its maiden purpose, as contemporary shelter and resting area instead for tourists that travel around the province of Samar. In the same manner, the Riverwalk intends to be a place of refuge in the city by encouraging a vibrant environment through a network of public open spaces connected by a link of active pathways. This network of public open spaces will feature areas for social interaction and physical development where locals and even tourists can hang around to enjoy the nature in the open grounds, have a view of the colorful architecture on the other side of the river, and witness the ever-changing sunset of the city. These spaces will be connected by active pathways link with dedicated bike lanes, jog path, and strolling lane. It will create a continuous link of pedestrian-focused streets and pathways, complementing and connecting the walkable grid layout of the city. The Riverwalk will be a way to reconnect the people to the water. Instead of limiting them from accessing the river, the park encourages openness and accessibility through the open swimming pool where they can socialize and enjoy the waters in a safer and controlled environment. The Riverwalk will create a vibrant and desirable neighborhood tone for the city with all its networks of public open spaces and active paths. It will be a place to allow people from all demographics to relax and release and simultaneously be a symbol of the colorful aquatic culture of the city 2022 Pasig River Esplanade SM Legazpi Grand Terminal Catbalogan Airport Development Samar Linkages C-6 Elevated Pedestrian Bridge The Riverlane Bulacan Factory Office Pasig Ferry Station Journey by the Bay Lotus Central Terminal Bataan Grand Terminal

Harnessing, polishing and applying textures and characters inspired from the outside environment within the interior spaces creating seamless transitions between two plans of everyday reality of indoors and outdoors. Tropical Loggia is a proposed home design situated in a residential beach community. The design aims to bring the environment indoors by opening up spaces and incorporating natural elements into the interior details. The entrance of the home was designed without a front door to encourage social interaction within the community. Instead, a long hallway welcomes visitors entering the home creating a soft boundary between the outside and inside. The program rethinks how people interact and view the home as a collection of spaces unified when sliding doors are opened up. Social spaces define this residential typology. Each space is thoughtfully designed for privacy, comfort and utility, which can transform into a spacious entertaining space when needed. All key areas were brought to the rear side of the house to allow people to enjoy the view of the lot. The rear side of the house was then opened up further to create more useful spaces and to take advantage of the view of the ocean. Natural elements - its textures and characteristics - were incorporated into the interiors of each space, allowing its users to still enjoy the ambience of its surroundings. Seamless transitions prevail in every space giving its users a beautiful and open tropical home.
