SIBOL

Grand Prize Winner

2015 MADE (Metrobank Art and Design Excellence) Architecture Competition

Sibol, the Tagalog word for sprout, encapsulates the whole ideal of this International Hot Spring and Wellness Center Resort Complex. Situated between two environmental landmarks, Laguna de Bay and Mt. Makiling, it tries to negotiate its presence as seamlessly as possible to these existing contexts. This is a complex that will revitalize the local tourism in the area and and place Los Baños as a world class tourist destination.

It is inspired by the patterns of nature; shown thru the incorporation of voronoi diagram in the built form that serve as a protection from the elements and provides a diverse visual experience to its users. It doubles as walls, privacy enclosures and shading devices as well.
