Work Completed in La Union
Designing for Ilocos Region
La Union's coastal position on the South China Sea places it in the path of seasonal typhoons and strong prevailing winds. Architecture here requires structural resilience alongside livability — a balance achieved in our La Union bungalow through an engineered pyramidal hip roof, protective overhangs, and a building form optimised for wind-load performance without sacrificing aesthetic refinement.
- Typhoons and strong winds: a well-tied hip roof, short overhangs and protected openings help a house through typhoon season, as in our La Union bungalow.
- Salt air: near the coast, corrosion-resistant fasteners, roofing and finishes last much longer.
- Monsoon rain and flooding: floor levels and site drainage are set for heavy southwest-monsoon (habagat) rains and low-lying ground.
- Sun and heat: shading and cross-ventilation keep interiors comfortable.

Do you take on projects in La Union?
Yes. Our completed work there includes a typhoon-ready bungalow with a loft, and we serve clients across the province from our Baguio City office.
Who issues building permits in La Union?
The Office of the Building Official of the city or municipality where your lot is. We prepare the signed and sealed architectural documents, coordinate the engineers' drawings and confirm that office's checklist at the start, since requirements vary between local governments.
How do you design a house for typhoons?
We start from the wind loads the structural code sets for the site, then use a hip roof, strong roof-to-wall connections, short overhangs and protected openings. Our typhoon guide explains each step.
