Design Problem:
Mr. and Mrs. Vargas have acquired a property for their new home located on a
R-2 Zone in Quezon City.
The property is a corner lot with a 19.20m wide frontage facing the South. The
project site uniformly slopes @ 0% towards the north with a 12 m wide street on
the west side of the lot. The surface at the center of the project site frontage is
considered as elevation 0.
TLA= 384SQM
Determine the following:
2. What is the allowable PSO if the building shall not have a firewall?
𝐴𝑀𝐵𝐹
PSO=
𝑇𝐿𝐴
211.2
PSO= = 0.55
384
PSO = 55%
3. What is the allowable minimum total space within lot (TOSL) if the building shall not have
a firewall?
4. What is the allowable minimum unpaved surface area if the building shall not have a
firewall?
5. What is the allowable maximum impervious surface area (maxISA) for the project if the
building shall not have a firewall?
6. What is the allowable maximum construction area (MACA) for the project if the building
shall not have a firewall?
MACA = PSO + ISA
MACA = 55% + 30% = 85%
MACA = 211.2 sq.m. + 115.2 sq.m. = 326.4 sq.m.
7. What’s is the total gross floor area(maxGFA) for the project if the building shall not have
a firewall?
GFA = TLA*FLAR
GFA = (384) (3.00)
GFA = 1152 sq.m.
8. Based on the mas PSO and BHL, what is the allowable maximum Total Gross Floor Area
(maxTGFA) for the project if the building shall not have a firewall?
