the butterfly scheme won in the end | michael banak architect
During our Concept Master Plan Design Phase, we presented a multitude of Design Options to our friends at Filinvest Land Inc. including; Central Park, The Cross, The Spine, Pinwheel, Blades, Fingers, Butterfly, Wiggles, Cut Sandwich, The Great Wall and Rotunda. Though everyone was amused by the name "Cut Sandwich", down deep, we new this wouldn't fly. My favourite schemes were Fingers and Butterfly. In the end there was unanimous support for the "Butterfly" scheme.
Megablock is a commercial office development located in the Northgate precinct of Filinvest City, Alabang, Philippines. It targets a LEED Silver environmental rating, illustrating the collaborative Design Team's commitment to Sustainable Design. The “Butterfly” arrangement of buildings, consists of 4 commercial office towers, 25 levels in height, with a total GFA of over 180,000m2. It was designed for our client Filinvest Land Inc., to cater for the BPO market which works both day and night/ "graveyard" shifts.
In-between the butterfly wings is a luscious green landscaped park and retail centre. These spaces can be used for seasonal events or simply to relax in the pleasant garden surrounds.The public Park is an amenity to be shared by the Northgate Community and gently ramps up above the retail spaces creating a natural amphitheater. Bridge links connecting the towers at high level act as break-out spaces and informal meeting rooms promoting interaction.

elm apartments cebu | michael banak architect
"Elm apartments" isn't the real name of this
project, but I call it this because of 2 beautiful old elm trees, located at
the main entry to the development. These giant trees we looked to retain,
shaping the building and drop-off areas around them, using them as a key
feature of the development, symbolizing the "green" building we
collaboratively designed with our Philippine clients.
