Efficiency Based Offices
Efficiency-based architectural companies are firms that can deliver projects faster or for less
money than the firms they are competing with for work. They have developed a design and
production process that is efficient and streamlined and are constantly looking for ways to
improve upon it to make it more efficient. Here are some of the list of efficiency based
architectural companies in the Philippines:

1. SM Development Corporation (SMDC)

SM Prime’s wholly-owned residential developer, SM Development Corporation

(SMDC) is a trailblazer in the middle market residential condominiums. SMDC
develops primary homes that attract customers looking for conveniently located,
aspirational, yet affordable residences. Its customer focus helped SMDC develop a
business model that aims to turnover units at the fastest rate in the sector, without
compromising quality. The projects offer five-star amenities such as grand lobbies,
Olympic-sized swimming pools, function rooms, jogging paths and libraries, among
others, that address the customers’ needs and aspirations for a convenient and
healthier lifestyle.

SMDC’s residential projects are strategically located in Metro Manila, particularly

near the country’s lifestyle and business districts such as in Quezon City, Makati,
Manila, Pasay, Pasig, Taguig, and Paranaque, as well as in developing provinces
including Tagaytay City, Rizal, Bulacan, Pampanga, Cavite, Laguna, Bacolod, Iloilo,
Davao, and Cagayan de Oro.

As demand for primary homes remains robust, SMDC aims to launch more projects in
various cities in Metro Manila and develop homes in key cities in Visayas and
Mindanao. It will continue to build more homes that will provide comfort and a
balanced environment for communities.

Experience Based Offices
An experience-based architectural company is an architectural firm that prioritizes experience
in the industry as a key factor in their business model. This means that they have completed
numerous successful projects before, which is a sign that they know what they are doing

1. WTA Architecture and Design Studio

Design. Refine. Define.

We believe in and practice architecture that is socially relevant. Architecture that

relates to the community, promotes urbanity, and develops society.

As architects and designers, we are often tagged as technical or artistic professionals.

We would like to believe that more than that we are humanists. We are curators and
proponents of the urban realm and we are in the business of creating places. Places
that live and breathe, places that are a critical part of people’s lives and play a vital
role in defining their sense of self and community.

Our studio is a place of ideas and possibilities. A place where design and architecture
serve to create new and exciting possibilities for our clients and the communities that
we serve. It is critical for us that in architecture we find the means to contri bute
concrete and definitive improvements to the city and to the lives of those which we
serve.

In every project that we undertake, we ponder on the future and always strive to
define the spaces that we create and develop. This design process requires a constant
stream of dialogues and critiques in an atmosphere where open ideas can be shared,
an environment that cultivates intense desires to constantly search for better and
brighter solutions
