On all sides of the upper floors, campus deck that serve interactive flexible spaces with various activities create punctures to the facade. A solar well is also integrated to allow filtered and indirect natural light into the structure's core. On top of it is a cooling pond that acts as a wading and reflecting pool of the urban parl. Clothing the entire structure is as ETFE skin that makes The Urban Block appear softer while aiding in minimizing solar heat gain. Awards: 2015 World Architecture Festival Finalist

It is a communityoriented development with an emphasis on green open spaces leading to a lifestyle of wellness through nature. The masterplan will be realized in four phases with a total gross floor area of approximately 170,000 square meters - 152,000 of which will be 600 units of residential; 15,000 square meters will be the BPO outlets; 2,000 square meters for retail; and 1,000 square meters are residential amenities.

The central linear public space provides a space for walking, biking, and social gathering. The amenities are scattered along Green Avenue developing it into a green network that brings the public open spaces closer to every residence. The commercial hub housing BPO and retail establishments also adapt a green development approach through a space interrelation that makes the program walkable. The development is also designed to accommodate an architecture that is human in scale. It has been envisioned to cradle low-rise structures that are visually relatable and accessible to the users. Also, it offers provisions for structures with programs that forge connections between the indoors and outdoors. It is a development that is designed to integrate nature into the users' daily routines and lifestyles. 2014 Vauxhall: The Missing Link Davao Industrial Park The Jewel of the South Eton City Phase 1 Cavite Complex Manila Arts District Siargao Resettlement Project Chongqing Science City Pingxiang Eco-Wellness Destination Alabang Global City Horizon East Batangas Forest City Tahao Road Development CamSur Uptown Orchard District Horizon Manila

The bridge form was kept as clean as possible to preserve the panoramic view of the surrounding between the two gateways, its horizontality gently manifested thru its geometrical form by avoiding vertical elements, which could disrupt the calming natural atmosphere. The serene atmosphere and lack of intrusiveness have been achieved by sensitive architectural gestures, proposing an intimate yet open and inviting sculptural anchors; obscured by edge of the mountains yet in clear view. With a total length of 700 meters, the bridge includes three 63 meters spans without intermediate supports. Its undulating shape, resulting from landing space constraints, helped preserve the existing views and al- lowed the structure. 2021 Pasig River Esplanade SM Legazpi Grand Terminal Catbalogan Airport Development Antiao Riverwalk C-6 Elevated Pedestrian Bridge The Riverlane Bulacan Factory Office Pasig Ferry Station Journey by the Bay Lotus Central Terminal Bataan Grand Terminal
