A Filipino entrepreneur named Businessman A is planning to expand his business in Santa Rosa, Laguna. To do this, he contacted his former college classmate named Businessman B who is now a big-time businessperson in the US. Since Businessman A had already established a quite large network locally and Businessman B is also doing good internationally, they decided to form a joint venture company to expand ‘their business, especially in logistics operations. They thought that since Santa Rosa City in Laguna is a growing industrialized city, it is a good opportunity to expand their logistics center there. The joint venture was ‘then registered with SEC under the name Phil€x Logistics Inc. The plan is to expand the lot and facilities established by Businessman A in Sta. Rosa twice its size. This existing development is in a 1.20-hectare lot facing ‘the Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road. Another lot similar in size, slope and shape situated on the left of the existing lot was acquired to serve as the ‘expansion of the existing development. The development and facilities in the existing lot includes the following: A. Commercial center with an appliance depot in a @.42-hectare land area facing the road.

Sn-wide softscape strips surround the semi-residential and office building. Site Features. The frontage of the existing rectangular lot is 60m. Its area is 1.20 hectares with a 1% downward slope towards the back. It is bounded fon the North, the longer side, ‘along line 1-2 by a private lot; on the East along line 2-3 by the 15n-wide Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road; on the South along 3-4 by another private lot which is acquired for the expansion; and on the West along line 4-1 by another private lot. The new lot for expansion is on the left with the same size, same slope and same shape. The existing lot is considered by the O80 as composed of three zones - commercial, light industrial and residential - which must follow the separate provisions of ‘the NBC according to its zone requirements. With the new acquired lot on the left, each area/zone will double in size. Design Objectives. Since this is an expansion of the existing facilities, the RLA hired for the project is tasked to determine how much development is allowed for expansion. No new constructions and renovations are to be done with the existing lot and facilities. The RLA will consider the new combined lot size of each zone in computing the development requirements for each of the zone. This will be his basis for the designing new structures in the added areas. <<< Nothing Follows >>> Page 2 of 31ARCHITECTURE LICENSURE MOCK EXAMINATION Nt Set 2A Day 2 (Design) DESIGN PROBLEM NO. 2 - THREE-STORY COMMERCIAL BUILDING ar II.
