CAZA’s proposal for Victorias New Government Center (VNGC) in Philippines is a 6000 sqm building set within a five-phase masterplan design comprising retail, housing, innovation, and arts programming. Following a metabolic design process, the structure is arranged around four distinctive towers, two of which harvest rainwater and two that exchange and ventilate air. Erected upon a concrete frame with integrated flood retention cisterns, the five-storey building is covered with a solar paneled roof and wrapped in a facade made of green metal pipes that filter water into terraced planters.
CAZA’s FR House built in the Philippines’ scenic Punta Fuego peninsula was published in Monocle (Issue 168). This cast-in-place concrete house is perched on a bluff overlooking the South China Sea and takes the form of a cluster of volumes organized around a ground-floor garden. Each volume defines a different room in the house and has a single window that frames a particular view of the ocean, landscape, or sky.

CAZA’s award-winning church and community building at De La Salle University campus in the Philippines’ Biñan City was recently covered by several outlets including Architizer, BauNetz, Elle Decor, e-architect, and ÅVONTUURA. Santuario de La Salle is an inclusive religious space designed by CAZA, nestled within a larger campus masterplan the studio also created for De La Salle University in Biñan City. It is composed of a series of circular-shaped volumes wrapped by an outer skin made up of vertical slats that breaks up the massive volume of the building, endowing the elevational treatment with lightness and permeability.
