Design Philosophy

“Modern, classic and natural architecture combines altogether” -Ar. Yolanda david-reyes

Design Concepts

The functional design of the UST Hospital was to have smooth traffic flow of patients and medical staff as well as to attain privacy and convenience, while the challenge of the aesthetic design was to revitalize the 90 year old façade of the existing hospital structure.
