Dasmarinas city has a great development potential due to its proximity to various national
hotspots; to its north is Metro Manila, to its South is Tagaytay, and to its East is Laguna.
Developing this region will be very beneficial as it can solidify the connecting region and at the
same time be the urban expansion that Metro Manila has always been needing to cater the

has the highest rainfall and January has the lowest one every year.
months of 2016 were April and May, with temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius,

The mean temperature for the summer months of March, April, and May (MAM) would
have been around 26.6 degrees Celsius, June, July, and August would have been 25.9
degrees Celsius, and September to November would have been 26 degrees Celsius.

COMMUNITY CENTER
Community Center is a building provided for the service operations of the community, it could
serve as an assembly building, activity center and recreational facility. Community Centers
offers various type of social services to the immediate community and its space requirements
are not limited to a specific set of functions as long as it abides to its purpose of being a
communal space. It is significant in the societal development and the engagement of the
This part tackles about the spaces that are to be incorporated to the proposed project including
their functions and their user. The spaces were based on:
Tobago
A Public Market income generating public space with a year-round, carefully crafted,
intentional and diverse medley of owner-operated shops, stalls and/or “daytables”. It fulfills
public purpose, showcasing a community’s unique character and culture while serving its
everyday shopping needs. Typically focuses on the sale of a full array of fresh, healthful, value
added, and prepared foods – often locally grown or produced. It usually includes a seasonal,
outdoor farmers market component. Focusing on businesses that are locally owned and
operated which highlight the best of local foods, crafts, music, heritage and culture.
This part tackles about the spaces that are to be incorporated to the proposed project including
their functions and their user. The spaces were based on:
COMMERCIAL BUILDING
A Commercial building dedicated for organizational administrative work. Offices usually have
individual spaces called cubicle for employees but new setups such as co working spaces
where there are companies shares the office. Contemporary office spaces aim on creating
seamless transition between workspace and public space without compromising privacy.
The proposed office space will cover approximately 15% to 18% of the site. The Office space
is an integral part of the project that can provide the initial economic platform for the
community. It will be the transitional development for future developments in the region.
