DESIGN CONCEPT ‘HOGAR’: HOME (Housing Opportunities Made for

Economically Challenged People)

CONCEPT STYLE
The design is a combination of art deco and tropical style.
This project breathes new life into the historic El Hogar
Filipino Building in Manila by infusing it with innovative
technologies and sustainable features. Green walls adorn the
building's facades, not only enhancing its aesthetic appeal
but also improving air quality and providing a green oasis
within the urban landscape. Solar panels are integrated into
the structure to harness renewable energy, reducing
electricity costs and carbon footprint. A rainwater harvesting
system ensures efficient water management, easing the
burden on local water resources.

OPPORTUNIITIES, THREATS) Economically Challenged People)

S
High Exposure: Corner lots frequently provide better exposure from a
variety of positions, which may draw attention from passersby.
Accessibility: Exposure on two sides of roads facilitates easier access,
making it comfortable for users to enter and exit.
Versatile Use: Possibility of imaginative landscaping or architectural
ideas because of the expanded area and several entry points.
Cultural and Historical Significance: In the Philippines, the Pasig River
has historical value that could be utilized for historical tours or cultural
events.

Traffic Concerns: Depending on the layout of the site and the flow of

W
surrounding roads, more traffic may occasionally be a disadvantage,
leading to congestion or a shortage of parking spaces.
Exposure to Weather Elements: Users' comfort may be affected by
the site's increased exposure to weather elements.
Security Challenges: Increased access points could pose security
risks and demand more security precautions.
Infrastructure Challenges: The susceptibility of existing
infrastructure to moisture and humidity along riverbanks might
require specific maintenance.

Diverse Usage: Possibility of multi-use construction because to the

corner lot's adaptability.

O
Community Engagement: Possibility of events or community
involvement because of the location's accessibility and visibility.
Environmental Initiatives: Possibilities for environmentally
conscious or green enterprises that concentrate on river
preservation, cleanup efforts, or ecotourism.
Waterfront Development: Possibility of distinctive waterfront
developments utilising the riverfront position, such as dining
establishments, parks, or recreation areas.

Zoning Regulations: Strict zoning restrictions or regulations may restrict the

T
corner lot's possible uses or layouts.
Traffic Hazards: An increase in traffic could provide risks, which could affect
users' safety and convenience of access.
Environmental Degradation: Pollution and the river's environmental degradation
can have a detrimental effect on the area's appeal and hinder tourists. SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

 SPACE PROGRAMMING ‘HOGAR’: HOME (Housing Opportunities Made for
Economically Challenged People)

The Circulation Area should not be compromised. As a general planning “rule of thumb,”
Circulation Area comprises roughly 25 to 40% of the total Usable Area. Planning for this
allotment will better ensure that the programmed Usable Area will represent the space
needed to accommodate the future workplace, in most fairly efficient buildings.
