2,000.0 SqM TLA;
7. the street, particularly the sidewalks
8.the adjoining land uses; and

(habagat and amihan), sources of noise and odors and available views (if any
are clearly identifiable).
J. Ground-level (man’s eye view) Exterior Perspective at any convenient scale;
K. 3D Unit Floor Plans and Perspective (Isometric) at scale 1 : 50 M; furniture/
equipment layouts are required;
1. Typical Plan of a 1.0-BR Apartment unit; and
2. Typical Plan of a Studio-Tye Apartment unit.
L. Floor Plans at scale 1 : 200 M; provide furniture/ equipment layouts only as
necessary; if rooms/areas are typical, provide furniture layout only for a representative
room/area to save time; highlight all introduced accessibility features and fire exits;
1. Ground Floor Plan;
2. 5th Floor Plan (showing all 1.0-BR Apartment units); do not detail the
individual plans to save time;
3. Typical 2nd through 4th Floor Plan (showing all Studio-Type Apartment
units per floor); do not detail the individual unit plans to save time; and
M. Two Elevations (front and side elevation) at scale 1 : 200 M
N. Two 3D Section (along vertical circulation in perspective or isometric) at scale
1 : 200 M (referencing the 0.0 m sidewalk elevation adjoining the Project site); and
IX. BASES OF GRADING ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS:
A. Site Development Plan - 25 points
(TGFA and parking computations and the like) and inter-relationships of exterior and interior activity
areas (including orientations, relationship/s between the road right-of-way (RROW), yards and the
building, parking slot sizes, including setbacks and yards, sidewalk and carriageway
elements/dimensions, turning radii, ramp inclines, use and placement of trees and greenery, use of
slopes)
B. Exterior Perspective - 20 points
(Includes matching the required architectural character with the intended use/ function) and aesthetics
(includes the good use of form/ scale/ proportion/ balance, the general satisfaction of basic architectural
design principles and the like);

2. 5th Floor Plan – 20 points
4. Typical 2nd through 4th Floor Plan – 20 points
(including full satisfaction of the prescribed building use/s per floor or level, the provision of vertical and
horizontal access systems, proximities, TGFA compliance and the like), space planning (including
furniture or equipment layouts if/ where required)
E. Two Elevations (Compliances with national building laws that are in full effect) - 20 points
F. 3D Longitudinal Section (General compliance with accepted architectural plan and design
standards (including height clearances, door and window sizes, provision of vertical and horizontal access
systems) - 20 points
G. Full conformity to instructions (where non-compliance/s can result in point deduction/s),
completeness of the plan and design solution/s (showing all of the prescribed/ required architectural and/ or
engineering and allied design elements) and completeness of drawing requirements (with no extra drawings
which shall not be awarded points); - 15 points
Compliances with national building laws that are in full effect, including:
1. the 2004 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (R-IRR) of the 1977 National
Building Code of the Philippines or NBCP (otherwise known as P.D. No.
