Problem Diagnosis

Camarines Sur has been widely known and visited by water sports enthusiasts all around the world. Domestic tourist arrivals was also established in the province

with a total of 1,979, 217 tourists, and 496, 603 foreign tourists. Celebrities inclined to watersports like Aga Muhlach, Jericho Rosales and others has been known to visit Camsur for the past years. Due to the huge amount of tourist arrivals, the province has provided more lodging houses, hotels, inns, and the like. The hospitality industry in Camarines Sur has been motivated to hire locals to provide more jobs that will help boost their economy as a whole.

The problem calls for a design of a resort hotel environment that aims to provide

lodging, recreation, and ecotourism spot in Camarines Sur. The commercial facility is geared towards becoming a sustainable development that will provide additional jobs for Camarines Sur locals while providing good service for the tourists of the province.

The proponent seeks to deal effectively on the lack of hotel and accommodations in Camarines Sur due to the increased number of tourists coming in the Province.

DESIGN OBJECTIVES The researcher came up with a proposed project that will take resorts into an

advanced level of planning, a combination of resort, hotel, and artificial surfing lagoon that will contribute to the tourism in Camarines Sur. The proponent decided to improve the site by building a watersport resort hotel facility. The study desires to create a commercial establishment that will support the sprawling tourism needs of Camarines Sur that seeks to deal effectively with the desire to provide a commercial facility. The proponent will also identify the approaches of green design strategy through conducting a case study of local projects and read online articles and books on international projects. Some specific objectives are as follows:

To know the design factors need to consider in developing a resort hotel with water sport facility that will supplement the tourism of Camarines Sur

To determine the problems encountered in hotels by tourists in Camarines Sur

To know the architectural design strategies that can help to enhance the quality of hotel resort experience

Create an innovative design for a possibility of a new water sport development as Cam Sur is known already for watersports

Provide a new attraction in the province & the country with an innovative hotel and resort design

To maximize the use of abundant resources on the area for construction minimizing transportation cost

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

The principles strive to convey guidelines in the development of the water sport resort hotel.

Adopt an ecosystem-based approach in tourism development planning

Manage impacts on biodiversity from hotel development and attempt to achieve an overall positive contribution

Design with nature and adopt nature based solutions

Respect, involve and support local communities

IV.1.3 Design Concept

CONCEPT: BOAT

A boat is a watercraft of any size designed to float or plane, to work or travel on water. Small boats are typically found on inland (lakes) or in protected coastal areas.

The researcher chose this concept because of its site location Pasacao which comes from the word "Pasangkay" as the origin of the town's name. The travelers and traders often used it en route to Manila to ask owners of the sailboats along the shore of the village to letthem ride. Pasangkay means the request of the people to get into the boat to travel. The thesis proponent thinks this concept suits the proposed facility on the chosen site since Bicol region is also known for fishing

CONCEPT:

WAVES

Water, transfusing both the

site and its building use, was

the concept for the structure

with wave-like sculptural roof

segments supported on spare

steel three-point truss arches. 

With transparent, tautly

detailed curtain walls forming

its exterior walls, the

sculptural roof would appear

to float, that desires to express

the surfing facility and

responding to the

surroundings and its

topography.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS (LAWS AND STANDARDS)

Shoreline Setback The building of any structures on the banks of rivers and shores of lakes or seas is

prohibited. No structures can also be built within a specific distance from the shoreline: three meters for urban areas, 20 meters for agricultural areas, 40 meters for forest areas. No development is allowed within the zone 20 meters from the high water line along sea shores (Water Code of the Philippines or Presidential Decree 1067, DENR Administrative Order No. 1997-05).

NATIONAL BUILDING CODE

Fire Protection (Fire code of the Philippines P.D. 1185)

Provision on fire safety construction protective and warning system

Fire protection features such as sprinkler systems, hose boxes, hose reels or

Standpipe systems and other firefighting equipment

Fire alarm system

Stairways, vertical shafts, horizontal exitz and other means of egress sealed

from smoke and heat

Self-enclosing fire resistive doors loading to corridors

Fire dampers in centralized air-conditioning ducts

Roof vents for use by fire fighters

Properly marked and lighted exits with provision for emergency lights to

adequate illuminate exit ways in case of power failure
