WTA Architecture and Design Studio triumphs in various international design competitions

November 17, 2022January 24, 2023

An urban forest city and a security complex featuring a forested facade are among the award-winning projects designed by Manila-based firm, WTA Architecture and Design Studio.

Founded by William Ti in 2007, WTA was hailed as the overall winner of the 2021 WAFX Awards during last year’s World Architecture Festival after first winning the WAFX Water Category.

Now celebrating its 15th year, WTA continues to bring the practice of social architecture front and center in the fields of master planning and urban design. The studio’s great social awareness and commitment to change have produced extraordinarily creative responses, as they now embark on the journey to turn these innovative ideas into practical urban solutions.

“Master planning projects allow us to affect a more diverse demographic profile. A multi-sectoral approach to designing spaces for people gives us the opportunity to address complex issues that make living in a city undesirable and turn these challenges into desirable growth. The master plans that we do focus on communities and social development, which explore new technologies and comprehensive research in order to establish sustainable, organic, and hyper-local development.”

Below is a list of international awards recently won by WTA:

Urban Design & Architecture Design Awards 2022

Award: Gold Winner

Project: Horizon Manila: Manileño

Category: Urban Planning 

The Urban Design & Architecture Design Awards recognizes outstanding ideas that redefine architecture design through the implementation of novel technologies, materials, programs, aesthetics, and spatial organizations along with studies on globalization, flexibility, adaptability, and the digital revolution.

Last May 4, 2022, WTA Architecture and Design Studio was announced as a Gold Award Winner for its project Horizon Manila.

International Architecture Awards 2022

Award: Winner

Project: Horizon Manila: Manileño

Founded in 2005 by The Chicago Athenaeum and The European Centre, the prestigious International Architecture Awards takes place every year to recognize the most significant and inspirational building and urban planning projects around the world.

The project is designed to span 419-hectares and will be the first and largest reclamation project in the City of Manila in over a century. It is meant to serve as a new hub for growth and development for one of the densest and largest megacities in the 21st century.

Iconic Awards 2022: Innovative Architecture

Award: Best of the Best Award Winner 

Project: Batangueño – Batangas Forest City 

Category: Concept (Urban Planning)

Another master planning project by WTA called the Batangas Forest City won a Best of the Best Award in the ICONIC AWARDS 2022 under Innovative Architecture. This award gives recognition to holistic projects in the fields of architecture, interior architecture, product design, and brand communication.

The core aim of the Batangas Forest City was to create a sustainable project that rekindles the connection between people and nature through architecture and urbanism.

“The project Batangas Forest City ideally embodies the vision of modern urban planning, which reconciles residential space and nature and as a result creates a location that promises a high standard of living,” said the master jury. “The fact that the focus of the planning was not just limited to living, working, leisure and recreation, but also took the subjects of industry and agriculture into account, shows just how holistic the thought behind it was. An impressive project, which despite its great complexity, was carefully thought-out, down to the tiniest detail, and is immensely important for the region.”

The project was honored during a festive awards ceremony last October 5, 2022 at the BMW Welt in Munich, Germany.

WTA's Back to back recognition at the World Architecture Festival 2021

Manila, Philippines, July 31, 2021 – WTA Architecture and Design Studio is proud to announce that its the Emergency Quarantine Facilities (EQF) Project was shortlisted in the Completed Projects – Health Category.

The Emergency Quarantine Facilities (EQF) Project, a brainchild born out of ideas of ephemerality and impermanence, is a temporary structure aimed at augmenting the capacity of our hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. Strategically planned to limit cross-contamination, patients and healthcare workers have designated entries and airflow is directed downwind from front to rear to prevent recirculation. The facility can be lengthened or shortened depending on need and can likewise be aggregated in modules to accommodate many more patients. The facility embodied speed, scalability and simplicity in its structure.

Prescient and purposeful, the pavilion consisted of an adaptable wall system that can transform into short-term relief spaces we might require in times of increasing uncertainty. Built with familiar and readily-available materials, the EQF is easily replicable and scalable not only in Metro Manila but throughout the country as well. William Ti, Jr. champions democracy in design, providing an open source link for the EQFs drawings in the hopes that communities take up the same agency and quick mobility that has been displayed since the conception of this project. After four months of actively building EQFs, WTA Architecture and Design Studio, together with its partners, friends and fellow advocates, accomplished 75 facilities across Mega Manila.

World Architecture Festival is the world’s largest international architectural event. It includes the biggest architectural awards programme in the world, dedicated to celebrating excellence via live presentations to delegates and international juries. In 2021, twelve big-picture architectural initiatives addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges have won the first of this year’s WAF Awards. The WAFX Award winners are all selected from entries to the Future Projects category in the WAF Awards Programme, for their ambition and scope.

WTA’s Horizon Manila Project Wins WAFX 2021 Award

July 24, 2021March 6, 2023

WTA's Back to back recognition at the World Architecture Festival 2021

Manila, Philippines, July 24, 2021 – WTA Architecture and Design Studio is proud to announce that the firm’s project – Horizon Manila – is a final winner in the Water Category and has been shortlisted for the Future Projects – Masterplanning Category at the World Architecture Festival 2021.

Horizon Manila is a 419-hectare reclamation project that is currently the largest reclamation project in the City of Manila. The project is meant to serve as a new hub for growth and development for one of the densest and largest mega cities of the 21st century. Its concept – the Manileño – presents a bottom-up community-centric organic growth model in contrast with the archetypal command-driven top-down master plan. It centers on creating shared experiences and building distinct community identities by establishing soft boundaries and edges.

This masterplan is composed of 3 islands bisected by a 4 km long canal park that recalls the identity of the Tagalog (River) people who settled along the mouth of the Pasig River. It focuses on people and local activities as the main determinant for diverse and organic growth. The goal is to grow 28 unique communities or barangays along the water’s edge. Each of the 28 communities will have its own development guidelines and will promote mixed-use development in each locality. Barrier-free developments with complete accessibility for all, such as open spaces and parks, will be obligatory and urban infrastructure promoting social connectivity will be the defining framework for the city. Shared experiences that tie the communities together are developed through activated public spaces with programs that strengthen the vitality of the streetscape. Placemaking features that stimulate local experiences define these spaces. They range from the ubiquitous streetball culture of Manila to lush tropical gardens, from water gardens to civic and religious plazas. Each place is a kernel of ground activity that evokes the culture and lifestyle of Manileños.

Principal architect William Ti, Jr. presented the Horizon Manila Project during the WAF Futures online event last July 14, 2021. You may view his presentation by accessing the Day 3 World Architecture Festival Live Stream.

World Architecture Festival is the world’s largest international architectural event. It includes the biggest architectural awards programme in the world, dedicated to celebrating excellence via live presentations to delegates and international juries. In 2021, twelve big-picture architectural initiatives addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges have won the first of this year’s WAF Awards. The WAFX Award winners are all selected from entries to the Future Projects category in the WAF Awards Programme, for their ambition and scope.

Twelve Luxury Flats wins an Asia Pacific Property Award!

June 24, 2021March 6, 2023 WTA

Twelve Luxury Flats wins the Asia Pacific Property award

WTA Architecture and Design Studio was honoured at the 28th Asia Pacific Property Awards in an online virtual ceremony for the Twelve Luxury Flats project. The company competed against the best design professionals across the Asia Pacific regions to be recognised in the Architecture: Multiple Residence Philippines Category for 2021-2022.

Twelve Luxury Flats was lauded for providing exclusivity while still offering social spaces and amenities within its dense neighbourhood. WTA’s designs for Twelve Luxury Flats, a mid-rise medium density residence, translate the urban sprawl into height by stacking 12 residences into a smaller footprint. Each unit provides the same size as a typical townhouse with a greater degree of privacy. There are no walls that you share with neighbors, no visibility of your movement through the front door or windows. However, a number of shared community spaces are located on various floors to encourage stronger bonds among neighbors. WTA has always been actively pursuing the development of more sustainable living conditions for the city—one that allows for comfortable and attractive spaces with friendly neighbors in a smaller footprint and impact on our environment.

The Asia Pacific Property Awards are judged by an independent panel of over 80 industry experts.
