BNY Arch

One of the challenges in designing is making the area look cohesive. There are a lot to consider such as; what are the primary needs of the user, which item/furniture will stay, what parts are allowed to be renovated, and the budget.

In this project, we tried to make it as efficient as possible. Improved planning, Increased storage, and integration of existing furniture (bar counter, sofa, freestanding cabinet) in the design to make it look cohesive while minimizing costs.

Seems easy? That's what we thought, but integrating existing items can also be challenging for us architects and designers. Stay tuned on how we pulled it off with our BEFORE and AFTER shots.

Apologies for being gone for so long, WE'VE BEEN BUSY! ~To be announced soon.

To conclude our posts about "The Grid" project, we're finally posting the last part of our design, the Toilet & Bathroom. Our T&B design is meant for small spaces, with a very practical flow from Sink-Toilet-Shower to increase efficiency.

To reduce cost, we've opted to have a tiled finish on the bottom part up to a specific height and a limewash paint on the upper part. This approach reduces paint bubbling and reduces the amount of tiles required to save some cost. A balance between Beauty-Practicality-Cost Efficiency.

Part of our design is accommodating multiple users in a small area but each having their own personal space. This can be solved through expansion, but what will you do if there's no possible way for expansion?

One of the commonly wasted spaces is the vertical areas of a room, especially if all items are moveable furniture. With our design of this 8sqm bedroom that has 2 users, we integrated both sleeping and working areas in one horizontal plane thus saving more space. Furthermore, a picture window was added to make the space feel bigger than it is and their own individual curtains for privacy.

Modern problems require modern solutions. Way back then, desks are somewhat optional part of a bedroom. However, in the digital age where Zoom, GoogleMeets, and other online meeting platforms, Laptop/Computer desks have become a key part of every bedroom.

Even kids now need their own desks for studying or hybrid learning (online and face-to-face classes). These considerations are great examples of adaptive and progressive design adjustments, which are brought by the 2020 Pandemic.

Can you spot the bathroom door? No? Just find the k**b! This is called "Concealed Door" that uses concealed flushed door hinges. One way to conceal a door is to add Vertical and Horizontal elements that will blend with the door gap.

The soon to rise 4 Unit 2 Storey Townhouse will be available for rent in few months time. Stay tuned!

Our ongoing under-construction project is a 4-unit 2-storey Townhouse in San Pedro, Laguna with approximately 72 sqm of floor area per unit.

The idea behind the design is to make a small space feel more attached to natural elements thus the touch of wood imitation materials, large picture windows with planters, and soft edges. These approaches make the townhouse unique from its nearby apartments/townhouses.

Did you know? One of the benefits of providing a window for the study area is that it reduces eye strain and boosts productivity. In this new era of WFH (Work from Home) or Online Classes, natural lighting can highlight your best features such as the face, background, and also set the ambiance.

But do note that there should always be balance since too much natural light can cause glare. How can you overcome this? Through proper planning and study of the sun path. Blinds, curtains, shades, or drapes can also offer a solution if it is an existing problem.

Part of our design is to use cross ventilation as much as possible to improve airflow around the room/house. Another part of the design is to incorporate vertical slats or "brise soleil" to add character and to also have its purpose.

To improve efficiency, the brise soleil design does not only add character and aesthetic but also provides protection against heat gain. Its positioning was based on the study of the sun path which was carefully and strategically angled to a specific degree to provide shade during the hottest time of the day.

Jalousie window is the best type of window in terms of ventilation. Nowadays, modern jalousie windows are more secure & there is also an option to provide a fly screen to avoid mosquitoes entering those gaps.

Positioning jalousie windows also helps cool down your house. How? By placing it on top of a room or space so that the trapped heat can escape. This is called the "stack effect", where hot air rises and heat accumulates on top of a room/space.

Incorporating built-in appliances can make the kitchen look way cleaner. Additionally, integrating a push latch mechanism for cabinetries will make the design look sleeker and complement the simple approach of the house.

Have you seen the concealed door? No? It's out there, just look for a door lever. The grooves on the wall help hide it, a great approach to hide service areas or dirty kitchens.

Aduana Residence is a renovation project that focuses on natural lighting and ventilation. Why? Because these factors affect lifestyle and energy consumption. How? Through increased use of artificial light, airconditioning units and multiple fans for airflow.

Another benefit of this design approach is that it offers a background view of that nature-setting vibe, as studies show that all plants provide mental health benefits.

BNY.Arch proudly presents Aduana Residence! The study behind the sun and wind paths is very important in order to maximize natural lighting without causing too much heat build-up and ensure proper ventilation.

The use of a 3-track sliding door increases ventilation from 50% to 66% compared to a 2-track sliding door. The design also considered the wind path where the jalousie windows and breeze blocks are strategically placed. Another way to reduce heat build-up is to use brise soleil, angled strategically during the hottest time of the day and tapered for the wind to pass through easily.

The Eternal Mausoleum has a mezzanine where visitors can stay for a while in comfort. We all know that All-Souls-Day is important for our loved ones who already passed away, and some Filipinos have the tradition of staying long (even overnight) during this event; thus a mezzanine for a small space to gather and stay in comfort will be helpful for the visitors.

The mausoleum also features a large window and a corner window to maximize the natural light and also to highlight the interior finishes (Terrazzo, Solid Wood and Limewash paint).
