Designing for Cordillera Administrative Region
Baguio City's cool, cloud-prone highland climate at 1,500 metres above sea level demands architecture that addresses moisture management, thermal comfort, and passive heating. Every project we design in Baguio accounts for the city's distinct microclimate, the DPWH and LGU building code requirements specific to the region, and the highland architectural character that defines this unique Philippine city.
- Steep lots: many Baguio sites need retaining walls, stepped foundations and careful drainage, so a topographic survey and soil investigation come first.
- Rain and fog: the long rainy season calls for thorough waterproofing, roof drainage and ventilation to keep interiors dry.
- Cool highland climate: the design focuses on keeping homes dry and comfortable all year rather than on cooling.
- Trees and setbacks: Benguet pines need government approval to cut or relocate, and setbacks and road right-of-way can limit the buildable area.
