Its circular sweeping form is designed to help patients recover immediately and cope in their environment, while also making the building resistant to typhoons and strong winds. Several sustainable strategies like a terracotta sunscreen system, green roofs, and high-performance glass walls are integrated to reduce energy consumption and stormwater runoff.

    DESIGN CONCEPT

    I have designed a sustainable “Community-Based Recovery Home for Drug Dependents” (CRHDD) building that

    will serve as health facility for drug dependents. The 4,365 square-meter building will enable the Local Government

    Unit of Municipality of Loon to: (1) house patients with mild to moderate drug dependence, (2) do the therapeutic

    treatment activities, and (3) vocational and educational support under an exclusive one roof rehabilitation dwelling.

    The building’s sweeping form represents physical speed, which spirals up around the circumference of the dynamic

    circular form. This exemplifies how the building’s design could help on immediate recovery of the drug dependents,

    and cope in their environment (own home and routine or regular contacts) and/or patients who cannot be fully managed

    in an outpatient setting. The building form also makes it typhoon and strong-winds resistant, with appropriate orientation

    giving a well-ventilated structure.

    Being a green building, the green environment will also contribute on the recovery of the patients. However, several

    sustainable strategies have been integrated in the building since the CRHDD Building is committed to heal and cure

    these substance-use dependents.

    Due to the tropical climate of the Philippines, the building design integrates a ‘Terracotta Sunscreen System’ on the

    exterior envelope that contributes to a reduction in the cooling system’s energy consumption. Moreover, green roofs

    insulate the building and prevent storm water runoff. A significant portion of the exterior envelope will be constructed

    with high-performance glass to provide daylight to the majority of the indoor spaces, to reduce energy requirements

    for artificial lights.
