PROJECT NO. 1 TITLE and General Description: Proposed Open Market Residential Prototype Project consisting of Two (2.0) Storey, Single-Detached House with an 77.0 Sq.M. Total Gross Floor Area (TGFA) cum Site Development Planning Project for a Cluster of Ten (10.0) Prototype House and Lots, on a Site with a Ten Percent (10.0%) Slope B. STATEMENT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING and DESIGN PROBLEM: A Multinational development company (the “Client”) has decided that its property, a one thousand nine hundred thirty four point seventy two square meter (1,934.72 Sq.M.) inside (or regular) lot, with a low density residential (R-1) zoning classification, and located in the better parts of the Municipality of Taytay in Rizal Province (Luzon Island), shall be developed to host an open market residential development. The 10 Prototype Houses shall be exclusive/ semi-upscale structures, 6 of which shall be on lots each with a 132.0Sq.M. Total Lot Area (TLA) and a 12.0m depth. The stated 77.0 Sq.M. TGFA of the Prototype Houses only refers to the enclosed floor areas above grade (or natural ground) level and excludes all other floor areas, if these are still to be introduced at a later time. C. PROJECT SITE FEATURES: The 1,934.72 Sq.M. Grand Total Lot Area (GTLA) making up the entire Project Site is rectangular in shape and has thirty two (32.0) m wide frontage facing east. The property may be reached via a fifteen meter (15.0 m) wide street i.e. the main road right-of-way (RROW) which has 1.8m wide paver-lined sidewalks on each side. The Surface of the main RROW sidewalk closest to the Project Site shall be considered as elevation 0.0 m. An 8.0 m wide cluster street bisects the Project Site at its long axis and intersects the main RROW at the right angle. The Project Site uniformly slopes at ten percent (10.0%) from west to east, which is also the direction of the cluster street serving as the direct access to the 10 lots, 5 on each side of the cluster street. The 2 end lots at the westernmost portion of the Project Site approx. 31.45% wider than the 6 lots at the center of the development. The corner lots defined by the cluster street and main RROW are 2.0 m wider than the 6 lots at the center of the development. D. DESIGN OBJECTIVES: a. To create exclusive/ semi-upscale, low-rise, single-detached residential building to be sited on a R-1 zoned property; b. To plan and design a closely-knit residential cluster that may serve as a model development in the Project host area; c. To plan the development to maximize profits for the developer; and d. To design the Prototype Houses to serve as landmarks in the Project area. Problem No. 1 (Low Density Residential Occupancy) Page 2 The property is zoned as a high density housing lot (Maximum R3).
