Court
An exceptional
Filipino Diner
DESIGN STATEMENT
The Filipino outdoor dining typically takes place inside a food court or turo-
turo. The use of mediocre cubism layout of the space and lack of interaction of
both user & and environment are evident. These inspired me to come-up with a de-
sign to transform and formalize the conventional run-down interior structure and
ambience of a Filipino food court to make it more vibrant, flowing, and sustainable
place to eat.
BE BOLD
Bold like the taste of the Pancit Batil Patong, the interior design incorporates
curvilinear elements which most Filipino food courts are lacking. THE CONCEPT
BE FREE The concept is adapted from the famous
The design sets a Free and dynamic mood which defines a new eating experi- Pancit Batil-Patong of Cagayan. Extensive
ence. use of whirling strands in the interior
originated from its pasta.
SIGNIFICANCE
The design itself will benefit the community in terms of social and unwinding
purposes as well as it will become a great landmark on the region. 2
The color schemes were derived from the basic colors found in Batil Patong

which are shades of Yellow, Orange, Gray, and White. These colors not only depict 2
the said dish but also stimulate hunger.
The design has a minimal impact on the environment and proved efficient on
energy. Some of the innovative features include a two story atrium space with ac- 2
cess to daylighting and natural ventilation, Yellow and white colored concrete ceil- 2
ings. Recycled wood planks were reused as cladding for the wall and an improvised 5
greenery rack distributed around the core of the seating area for a seemingly fresh
environment. 3
