Design Context

Designing for Cordillera Administrative Region

Ifugao's highland setting, indigenous Cordilleran heritage, and the UNESCO World Heritage rice terrace landscape set a compelling context for architecture that honours place. Our designs apply bioclimatic principles suited to the cool tropical highland environment, incorporating natural materials and spatial organisation that connect the built work to the province's extraordinary landscape and cultural context.

  • Mountain terrain: steep, rain-soaked slopes mean the site, foundations and drainage need careful engineering.
  • Heavy rainfall: roofs, gutters and site drainage are designed for long, intense rains.
  • Heritage landscape: near the UNESCO-listed rice terraces, check the local rules with the municipality before design starts.
  • Remote sites: material deliveries and the availability of workers affect cost and schedule, so they're planned early.
