PROBLEM SOLVING

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:

1. Determine the AMBF if the building shall not have a firewall.

AMBF = PSO*TLA Application of Setback


AMBF = (55%) (384) AMBF = (14.2) (15)
AMBF = 211.2 sq.m. AMBF = 71 sq.m.

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?

TOSL= USA + ISA


TOSL= 15% + 30% = 45%
TOSL = 57.6 + 115.2 = 172.8 sq.m.

4. What is the allowable minimum unpaved surface area if the building shall not have a
firewall?

USA = (15%) (TLA)


USA = (0.15) (384) = 57.6
USA = 57.6 sq.m.

5. What is the allowable maximum impervious surface area (maxISA) for the project if the
building shall not have a firewall?

ISA = (30%) (TLA)


ISA = (0.30) (384) = 115.2
ISA = 115.2 sq.m.

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?

FLAR = 2.10 up to 3.00 (at a 5-storey or 15.00 m BHL)


BHL = 5storeys; 15.00 m above highest grade

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?

𝑇𝐺𝐹𝐴1 = 5 x 70% of TLA (based on table VII.1)


= 5 x 70% x 384
𝑻𝑮𝑭𝑨𝟏 = 1344 sq.m.

𝑇𝐺𝐹𝐴2 = GFA x Multiplier based on table VII.G.2


𝑇𝐺𝐹𝐴2 = (1152 sq.m.) (1.20)
𝑻𝑮𝑭𝑨𝟐 = 1382.4 sq.m.
