PROBLEM
A family of 5 member, planned to own a 2 storey house and lot in Quezon City. The lot that they
own sized 12 meters by 20 meters, the shorter side is in front of the road way. They wanted to
have more lights to come inside their house. They value nature so that they suggest their house to
be sustainable. The mother wanted to have her own garden at the back yard. Since the father is a
businessman, he demanded to have his own office that clients can visit. The couple have 2 grade
school daughters and 1 high school son. They also suggest having a big area or room inside the
house for their family to spend their day off and family day at home. They have 2 maids inside
the house to be in one room with own t and b.

CONCLUSION
The 2 storey residential structure should follow first the zoning provisions in the said place
which was Quezon City. They have their own rules and regulations in their zoning and housing.
The architect also should design the house in accordance to the basic suggestion and idea of the
clients. Since the family want to be their house to be natured and somehow sustainable, their
house should have a refreshing ambiance. Bid windows and curtain walls could help about this.
In addition to that for a place of landscapes and garden that the client suggests, the architect
should consider to have a bigger setback at the back part of the house. For the plants to have
good aesthetics and to do develop plants accordingly. The rooms suggested by the client should
be included as long as it do not fail the ordinance in the city.

DESIGN CONCEPT
The design concept of the structure is mirror, which explains that the structure only adapts the
environment surrounding it. As the lot or the outside area of the house will be full of landscapes
and nature resources. That residential will reflect on it. The house should show sustainability of
our environment and nature. Since the family loves the nature, the some materials that will be
needed in the design are somehow indigenous and compliments to nature. What things are
outside the house will also be shown in the design, external and internal of the house.
