ARCHITECTS and CONTRACTORS for Five Storey Residential / Commercial Building

COMMERCIAL  and RESIDENTIAL  BUILDINGS  

by RCLA MARU  ARCHITECTS CO. 

Very trendy and practical these years are the Design and Construction 

of Buildings of multi-use. Many of them are RESIDENTIAL / COMMERCIAL

- where the lower floors are Commercial and the upper Floors

 are Residential.  This is where the DESIGN-BUILD Team

 of RCLA MARU  ARCHITECTS CO., harnessed their potential. 

The photos herewith  are documentations  of one of the  well-studied 

and significant  project of the company. Designed and implemented by

one of its  Partners,  Architect Reynold C. Lamasan, whose experience

 and trainings were from abroad  and the Philippines,  

this Four Storey Building

  created a Statement  in the Community.  

To hasten the construction period, 

RCLA MARU ARCHITECTS CO. 

employs heavy equipments for the projects depending 

on their budget capacity. 

The use of backhoe for  critical excavation  is a solution.

From the  standard use of ordinary Concrete Hollow Blocks 

 and increasing  its  Requirements to 350 PSI and more. 

From the conventional use of Wooden formworks to Steel Scaffoldings. 

From the use of Reinforced Concrete Beams and Columns to 

Structural I-Beams and Columns. And from the pouring of  

Suspended Reinforced Concrete Slab on plywood and 

wooden formworks to the use of  Metal Decking Flooring System. 

Reinforced Concrete must be of guaranteed quality. 

Maybe by Pumpcrete or Line concrete pouring is always 

a major part to take care in a Building Construction.

Designing and Constructing edifices is not just for Business

 and Practice of Profession, it is more of a SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. 

Here, the Design Solutions of Architect Reynold C. Lamasan had helped transformed the community to a more Cleaner, Modern and impressive  environment  which is critical to its location being 

along MacArthur Highway at Bocaue, Bulacan. 

This part of  Brgy Bunlo had been a flooded area up to the stretch

 of SM Marilao during the construction of the project.  Just  on the finishing stage of the project, this portion of the MacArthur Highway was elevated 

and concreted by  DPWH - much to the delight of the residents. 

The government action on  roadways and infrastructure enhances 

not just the view but also the accessibility of the completed project.  

Skylights  and other glazing makes the  facade impressive. 

Aluminum Cladding gives a sleek and sassy effect to the building. Yellow denotes a gaiety and festive look, always new in the eyes of the beholder. 

Individual lines like strips of yellow aluminum cladding forms like 

SCREEN over certain openings. Alternating  the reflective glass and horizontality of concrete beams  gives a feeling of repose on a bright  color. 

The design is practical and economical, considering a simple facade, 

yet the effect is  distinctive. 

Clean straight lines in white walls and yellow accents  makes the edifice demure,  on the  go and positive. This dramatic  use of color acts as identifier and a mood-setting element  being  a contributor of supposed to be an impressive scenario along the highway. 

The  reflection of the bright cloudy sky  makes the building floating in heavens.  

That Is the essence of  the use of GLASS.  Practicality and  Beauty.

The use of GLASS as a transparent glazing material in the building envelop 

included windows in the external walls.  This wall-approach and technique

 made the yellow cladding a floating spark within the Building Facade. 

The GMRC Building,  renamed a year later after its construction.
