PROPOSED INVISIBLE HOUSE

ABSTRACT

The aim of this project is to create a structure that can blend easily to its surrounding
environment, a structure that will create an illusion of invisibility. The client wants to have a rest
house or retreat home located at a forested area in Antipolo City, the problem is how the
designers will create a durable, functional, cost efficient and beautiful home without
compromising the existing nature of the site.

For the fact that there are human activities and social functions that always take place
within Antipolo, there is need to establish a hospitality institutions, for instance Guest House.
This project aims at proffering solution to the establishment of Guest House. In order to achieve
this, some research work was carried out. The research work is aimed at realizing a good
architectural design for a Guest House.

 PROPOSED INVISIBLE HOUSE

I. INTRODUCTION

Many people appreciate and understand the delicate balance between the natural & man-
made home. A daring temple of a house in inescapably powerful, savage and mesmerizing landscape
holding little appeal to the faint hearted. Dry, rocky exposed to forced winds, this is a challenging,
risky, yet breath takingly rewarding landscape and structure in many way. This is designed for a
person or people seeking for a private retreat from their public lives, the building is cleverly sited to
be almost “invisible” upon approach tucked under a ridge for protection from strong winds and
summer without harming the nature. Materials throughout have been carefully selected to enhance
the sense of place and belonging with necessary distractions. Overall, a building neither dwarfed by,
nor in competition with setting, simply belonging with a respect, authenticity, ease and rawness in
keeping with rural Philippines.

II. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Our research intends to offer solution to the following problems:

1. Lack of venues for the masses to hold their social functions.
2. Lack of accommodations that have the qualities of a home
3. The unavailability of standard facilities in Guest house found in Antipolo.
4. Irregularity in the classification of Guest house by average Filipino.

III. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

As a result of the activities that normally take place in Antipolo, there is the need to
provided a building for human habitation which will help to preserve and conserve the
environment.

It is the intention of this researcher to create awareness on the importance for

developing an Invisible House in the selected lot in Antipolo City
Provision of human-habitation.
The Importance of preserving and conservation of Natural Resources.
Development of the city that will tend to help the environment.

IV. SCOPE AND DEFINITION

The scope of this research is to focus on the main problematic aspects of Nature and Shelter:

How we will be able to give a shelter for the community of Antipolo without damaging
the existence of natural resources.

Circulation system. Moreover, it will not only throw light on these aspects but will
also solve the problem of thermal comfort of the interiors through natural means.

V. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The study endeavours to provide a house that can blend with nature. More
specifically, it will represent the importance of existing ecological environment.

The aim of this project is to create a comfortable and appealing accommodation for the
following:
Basic standard facilities needed in building an Invisible house. When building a
house proper circulation is one of its consideration. Giving the client a proper design that
will make their life easier.
Environment that is conducive for the occupants. The presence of existing trees is
an advantage for the environment because of the world becoming more polluted. We aim
to provide a shelter that can help us to preserve and conserve the environment.
Individual requirement such as entertainment, exercise and relaxation. Nature
provides comfort to human-being. As an architecture student, what we want is to design
something that can provide the needs of our clients. However, we want to maintain the
presence of natural resources by building a sustainable design.

VI. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Invisible House received a Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Award for
International Excellence, as well receiving an Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) NSW
Architecture Award and named ‘House of the Year’ in 2014.
Australia is unique; a country of landscape; mostly dry very much weathered. Unlike any
other continent there exists a variable landscape that transcends interpretation.

3
 PROPOSED INVISIBLE HOUSE

Invisible House is located on the western edge of the eastern mountain range of
Australia as it slopes gradually toward the west, the desert. Located as it is, exposure is
a constant. Morning – day long – afternoon sun; the blistering cold winds both up the
valley and across the range and winds from the west across 1000’s of kilometres of
desert that hit the site like a furnace.
The design of this residence could not ignore the elements.
Site selection was a process of elimination; such a parcel of land (75 hectares) demands
an exhaustive review of place for ‘best’ occupation. We considered four different and unique sites
over a three day period. Ultimately selecting a place the ‘farmer’ of the land had chosen two
decades earlier.
The building is below the brow of the hill; thus protected – it sits comfortably within the
contour; thus inoffensive – it is constructed of materials sympathetic to the area; thus coordinated
– it emphasises qualities of horizon and direct light, thus connected.
In designing for this site we did not direct our thoughts to a gesture but rather studied
the surrounds both immediate and distant. It was from these studies we found a mathematical;
sculptural form, that although foreign was not of a different order to this place.
This building represents an interpretation of all the factors that accumulate to form a
story of belonging – in this instance we have translated materials and form but it is only a marginal
shift to discover references all around.
Invisible House can be there or cannot; architecture represents values, both current and
beyond. If the roof, with water, reflects the sky this building will never be found – until it is
discovered.

VII. OVERVIEW

There is a need to build Houses or Building without destroying nature in order to maintain
the preservation and conservation of the Environment in Antipolo City or rather around the world.

This section presents the offered solution for the obtaining objectives discussed in the
previous section. The proposed Invisible House is located Antipolo City. Way back in 2017, the
community of Antipolo City planted about 1,500 to save the environment.

4
 PROPOSED INVISIBLE HOUSE

We would like to propose an Invisible House which will help the community of Antipolo
City to continue their goal to save the environment.

This research is about building shelter that will maintain the environmental area should
provide sufficient information for us to complete our review. The following paragraphs will discuss
how we will use these sources in our research.

The first goal of our research is to explain the criteria for determining whether a proposed
Invisible house for the community of Antipolo City is suitable in the site and also to conduct the
preliminary studies, utilizing the existing data which was taken from our research.

The Second goal of our research is field Survey Phase, Where as a researchers were
had gone to visit the actual site where is located. The purpose of this phase was to check and
make sure that the place is suitable for the proposed project.

any depression in the area. Grading and ditching shall be executed in a manner that will

prevent erosion or flooding of adjoining properties.

b. Ground Cover

Grass, shrubs, plants and other landscaping materials used for ground cover shall be

of variety appropriate for its intended use and location. They shall be so planted as to allow

complete and permanent cover of the area.

i. Landscaping Site Development

The single most important goal in planning a site to resist terrorism and security threats

is the protection of life, property, and operations. Decision-making in support of this purpose

should be based first and foremost on a comprehensive assessment of the man-made threats

and hazards so that planning and design countermeasures are appropriate and effective in the

reduction of vulnerability and risk. It is important to recognize that a given countermeasure can

mitigate one or more vulnerabilities, but may be detrimental to other important design goals. It

is also important to think creatively and comprehensively about the security repercussions of

common site planning and design decisions. This section will highlight several aspects of site

design and will present some of the unique characteristics arising from their application to

antiterrorism and security.

1. Site Design

Because the economics of development dictate recovering the largest possible

portion of square footage within most urban and rural sites, security concerns

should be evaluated carefully. Conflicts sometimes arise between security site

9
 PROPOSED INVISIBLE HOUSE

design and conventional site design. For example, open circulation and

common spaces, which are desirable for conventional design, are often

undesirable for security design. To maximize safety, security, and

sustainability, designers should implement a holistic approach to site design

that integrates form and function to achieve a balance among the various

design elements and objectives. Even if resources are limited, significant value

can be added to a project by integrating security considerations into the more

traditional design tasks in such a way that they complement, rather than

compete with, the other elements.

2. Layout and Form

The overall layout of a site (e.g., the placement and form of its

buildings,infrastructures, and amenities) is the starting point for development.

Choices made during this stage of the design process will steer decision-

making for the other elements of the site. A number of aspects of site layout

and building type present security considerations and are discussed below:

● Building placement. Depending on the site characteristics, the

occupancy requirements, and other factors, buildings may be

clustered tightly in one area, or dispersed across the site. Both

patterns have compelling strengths and weaknesses.

● Building orientation. The orientation of a building can have significant

impact on its performance, not only in terms of energy efficiency, but

also in the ability to protect occupants. For the purposes of this

discussion, the term “orientation” refers to three distinct

characteristics: the building’s spatial relationship to the site, its

10
 PROPOSED INVISIBLE HOUSE

orientation relative to the sun, and its vertical or horizontal aspect

relative to the ground.

● Open space. The incorporation of open space into site design

presents a number of benefits. First and foremost is the ability to

easily monitor an area and detect intruders, vehicles, and weapons.

Closely related to this benefit is the stand-off value of open space; as

discussed in Chapter 4, blast energy decreases as the inverse of the

cube of the distance from the seat of the explosion, so every

additional increment of distance provides increasingly more protection.

In addition, pervious open space allows stormwater to percolate back

into the ground, reducing the need for culverts, drainage pipes,

manholes, and other covert site access and weapon concealment

opportunities. Also, if the open space is impassible for vehicles (as in

the case of a wetland or densely vegetated area), it can provide not

only environmental and aesthetic amenities, but prevent vehicle

intrusion as well.

ii. Tree Preservation

Preservation of Site Assets

Suitable trees with a caliper diameter of 200 millimeters or more, shrubs and desirable

ground cover shall be preserved. Where a good quality top soil exists in the site, it shall not be

removed and shall be preserved for finishing grades of yards, playgrounds, parks and garden

area.

11
 PROPOSED INVISIBLE HOUSE

iii. Landscape Plan

A landscape plan must be submitted in conjunction with any preliminary plan or

building permit application. Single-family and two-family residential structures are not required

to submit a landscape plan in order to obtain a building permit. However, all other applicable

requirements within this article must be adhered to. The landscape plan required under this

article must contain the following information:

1. Location and type of all existing trees on the lot over six inches in diameter,

any other natural features, and the delineation of which trees or natural

features are to be retained;

2. An indication of how existing healthy trees to be retained will be protected from

the damage during the construction;

3. Location, height and material of proposed screening and fencing;

4. Location and dimension of proposed landscape development; and

A description of all trees, shrubs, ground cover plants shown on the plans, including names, location,
quantities, size (diameter and/or container), height, spread and spacing.
B. SITE PLAN REVIEW AND OTHER LOCAL REGULATION

2. Solid Waste Disposal

Waste Disposal. Open dumping remains the general practice of waste disposal in the
country as controlled dumpsites and sanitary landfills (SLFs)6 are very limited (NSWC). RA 9003
requires LGUs to close their existing open dumpsites by year 2006 and to establish controlled
disposal facilities or SLFs. As of 2016, there are still 403 open dumpsites and 108 controlled
dumpsites in operation. The number of SLFs is also insufficient to service all LGUs. While SLFs
increase from 48 in 2010 to 118 in 2016, LGUs with access to SLFs remain below 15 percent. It is
interesting to note that the DENR is now pushing for the establishment of cluster sanitary landfills
or common sanitary landfills in the country to address waste disposal problems. Through cluster
sanitary landfills, local government units (LGUs) may share funds in establishing sanitary landfills
and consolidate efforts on solid waste management efforts. Through cost-sharing, LGUs can save
financial resources and services. Section 13 of the Philippine Constitution provides that LGUs may
group themselves, consolidate or coordinate their efforts, services, and resources for purposes
commonly beneficial to them in accordance with law.

12
 PROPOSED INVISIBLE HOUSE

II. Clean air Requirements

The Philippines Clean Air Act of 1999 (Republic Act No. 8749) outlines the
government’s measures to reduce air pollution and incorporate environmental protection into its
development plans. It relies heavily on the polluter pays principle and other market-based
instruments to promote self-regulation among the population. It sets emission standards for all
motor vehicles and issues pollutant limitations for industry. Emission limit values are laid down
by The Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Philippines as ‘Implementing Rules
and Regulations for Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999’. These rules and regulations shall apply
to all industrial emissions and other establishments which are potential sources of air pollution.

III. Soil conservations

Soil erosion in the Philippine uplands is widely regarded as the country's most serious
environmental problem which affect about 63—76 percent of the country's total land area
(Paningbatan 1990). This paper summarizes the experiences gained from eight upland
development projects regarding promotion and adoption of recommended soil conservation
practices at these study sites. The paper aims to analyze the major factors which affected
technology adoption and the consequences of these technologies on the farming system.
Policy implications and recommendations were drawn based from the above analysis. This
study covered eight (8) upland sites distributed throughout the major islands in the Philippine
archipelago. Three of the project sites were implemented by non-government organizations
while the other five were government-initiated projects. Formal household surveys were
conducted in the first five sites; case study analysis was done in the next two; while a
reconnaissance survey was adopted in the eighth study site. In the final analysis, the study
concluded that the diffusion of erosion control measures on the farm level has been limited in
most upland development projects. Adoption usually peaks during project implementation and
rapidly declines after its termination. Extent of adoption was usually limited within the project
area with little evidence of spontaneity. Successful and sustained adoption of erosion control
technologies has occurred where farmers are assured of the short-term economic returns
thereby compensating for labor costs and loss of production area and where farmers clearly
understand the basic concepts and principles of the technologies. In areas where adoption has
occurred, erosion control technologies were significantly modified by farmers to suit specific
biophysical and socioeconomic circumstance and farming systems. Hence, farmers'
understanding of the purpose and the basic concept of the soil conservation farming
technologies should be promoted to ensure that farmers' adaptations do not nullify the
contribution of technology to resource conservation.
IV. Protected Areas, Wetlands, Flood plains, Coastal Zone
Protected Area
- Buildings in parks shall be allowed only to those providing necessary amenities and
basic facilities for the park users with limited height and land space utilized.
-No buildings shall be allowed with rights-of way of aqueducts and power transmission
lines except for maintenance facilities necessary for their upkeep and security. No structures

13
 PROPOSED INVISIBLE HOUSE

shall be allowed within the 5.00 meter buffer of the West Valley Fault Zone, for this purpose, all
propose, all proposed structures near the zone must first secure a clearance from Philvocs.
Wetlands Defined
Wetlands are areas of marsh, peatland or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or
temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including area of marine water
the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six (6) meters (Ramsar Convention on Wetlands)
Wetland Categories
Inland Wetlands Lakes, marshes, floodplain forests, rivers, and flooded caves, snowfields,
glaciers Coastal and Marine Wetlands Mangroves, coral reefs, sea-grass beds, tidal-flats,
estuaries, up to 6m depth at low tide Human-made wetlands Rice fields, fish ponds, reservoirs,
ditches and canals
Flood plains
-an area of low-lying ground adjacent to a river, formed mainly of river sediments and
subject to flooding.

V. Protection of Archaeological Resources

Structures dating at least 50 years old and work of national artists shall be preserved,
conserved and promoted as provided for under RA No. 10066 otherwise known as the National
Heritage Act or 2009.
Structures regardless of age which embody outstanding architectural an engineering achievements, a
significant technological innovation, an important symbolic value, or are unique or rare in their design or
function shall be preserved for their scientific, historical, cultural of public interest value.

E. Environmental Regulation

Environmental regulations are made by the Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental, and
Emerging Risks (SCHEER), which provides advice on issues relating to health, environmental, and
emerging risks.

Environmental regulations are rules and requirements that generally cover two things: Pollution control:
regulating how much pollution (chemicals or other undesirable materials such as "heat",
"suspended
particulates”) a facility releases.
Environmental legislation is the collection of laws and regulations pertaining to air quality, water quality,
the wilderness, endangered wildlife and other environmental factors. ... The act ensures that

14
 PROPOSED INVISIBLE HOUSE

matters important to the environment are thoroughly considered in any decisions made by federal
agencies.

I. Water, Sewer, Recycling, Solis Waste Disposal

Sewage treatment generally involves three stages, called primary, secondary

and tertiary treatment.
Primary treatment consists of temporarily holding the sewage in a quiescent basin where
heavy solids can settle to the bottom while oil, grease and lighter solids float to the surface.

Waste Disposal Practices. There are eight major groups of waste management methods,
each of them divided into numerous categories. Those groups include source reduction and
reuse, animal feeding, recycling, composting, fermentation, landfills, incineration and land
application.

Waste water Treatment is a process used to convert wastewater into an effluent that can
be returned to the water cycle with minimum impact on the environment, or directly reused. The
latter is called water reclamation because treated wastewater can then be used for other
purposes. The treatment process takes place in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), often
referred to as a Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) or a sewage treatment plant.
Pollutants in municipal wastewater (households and small industries) are removed or broken
down. The treatment of wastewater is part of the overarching field of sanitation. Sanitation also
includes the management of human wasteland solid waste as well as storm water (drainage)
management. By- products from wastewater treatment plants, such as screenings, grit
and sewage sludge may also be treated in a wastewater treatment plant.

Recycling Basics

Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be
thrown away as trash and turning them into new products. Recycling can benefit your community
and the environment.

15
 PROPOSED INVISIBLE HOUSE

Benefits of Recycling

 Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators

 Conserves natural resources such as timber, water and minerals

 Increases economic security by tapping a domestic source of materials

 Prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials

 Saves energy

 Supports American manufacturing and conserves valuable resources

 Helps create jobs in the recycling and manufacturing industries in the United States

Reference: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

1. Solid Waste Management

Solid-waste management, the collecting, treating, and disposing of solid material that is discarded
because it has served its purpose or is no longer useful. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste can
create unsanitary conditions, and these conditions in turn can lead to pollution of the environment and
to outbreaks of vector-borne disease—that is, diseases spread by rodents and insects. The tasks of
solid-waste management present complex technical challenges. They also pose a wide variety of
administrative, economic, and social problems that must be managed and solved.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT?

Solid waste are any unwanted and useless solid materials generated from different domestic,
trade, commercial, agricultural and industrial activities It refers to any garbage, rubbish, sludge and other
rejected solid and semi-solid materials obtained from different industrial, commercial, household or
other activities. These are non-liquid and non-gaseous wastes (durable goods, non-durable goods,
containers and packaging, food scraps, yard trimmings, miscellaneous inorganic wastes, construction
waste etc.)The term solid waste usually includes: Garbage: Includes food waste and other degradable
organic wastes Rubbish: Includes combustible and non-combustible solid wastes, except food waste
Refuse: Includes both garbage and rubbish Litters: Includes paper bits, discarded wrappings, bottles
etc.

DIFFERENT SOURCES OF SOLID WASTE:

Domestic/Household: Ash, rubbish, garbage, etc. Industrial: Wide variety from inert to highly toxic
and explosives. Street/ Market: Rubbish, paper, droppings, putrid vegetables, etc. Stable waste: From
stables, animals Hospital waste: cottons, bandages, medicine containers, glass, plastics, etc.
