The Design and Construction
Project done by RCLA MARU ARCHITECTS CO.
in Calapan City , Oriental Mindoro , Philippines
It was a RESIDENTIAL and WAREHOUSE
very much custom-designed to fit a unique concept . It is a reflective of a
company's concern for a Green Environment. The Residential shows planters on
horizontal ledges screening the vision with "green" while
incorporating natural light and fresh air to the interior. It is a truly a fine
dining experience in a home away from home for the employees and owner of the
company. I was fascinated with that " round " opening on the wall of
that dining area, later i know when i peep on it,
it is like a telescopecatching sunset views on the Mindoro afternoon sky.
The owner said - it shows
the Logo of the company.
It was not just an ordinary Residence,
it was a condo-type living offered by the rooms designed with its own Toilet
and Bath and Kitchenette to accommodate independent living for SCPA employee
group excursions or team building since the Mindoro Branch of SCPA is in a
tourist destination. It may serve as a vacation accommodation for the company’s
employees from Metro Manila.
A good space for Laundry and Drying ledge were provided on the second floor
while an easy-to-maintain garden at the ground floor offers a nice sitting
area.
The bedroom windows has mini-balcony ledges extended provided with tubular barriers that accents the facade while a door-window opening was done with a sliding glass in
The bedroom windows has mini-balcony ledges extended provided with tubular barriers that accents the facade while a door-window opening was done with a sliding glass in
aluminum frame exposing the wide vision of the area. Truly, when you are inside the
residence, you will not feel there is a Warehouse adjacent to it.
The big warehouse painted with off-white
and green looks like not a warehouse in its industrial/commercial category. It
was designed to harmonize with the residential. The warehouse was provided with
soft and lightweight sliding door that looks sturdy and heavy yet it is light
and strong.
Where in a warehouse interior you can see uniformity of baseboard painted walls and ambience in the office which is located inside the warehouse. Such office is provided with Pantry area and a hotel standard Comfort Room.

the concept of Concrete Ventilation
Blocks with Glass Blocks function as air and light ventilations. Its
transparency is magical when seen from inside the warehouse.
The whole compound is laced with
beautifully designed fence with lightings on every post that creates a brightly
lighted spot of this " jewel "in the
Village.
The previously, swampy area in that corner of Sta. Maria and
Pachoca Village, Calapan City is now a Residential/Commercial Area done in a
nice concept embracing its Green Design
and Social Responsibility to the
Community and the Industry as a whole.
