This is the architecture portfolio of XYZA Grace M. Egos, an aspiring architect from Cebu, Philippines. It compiles selected works from her academic training and personal exploration, intended for presentation to schools, firms, or clients. The document reflects her design philosophy centered on transforming ideas into meaningful, context-responsive spaces.
The first section contains her personal statement, contact information in Cebu and Zamboanga Sibugay, and a detailed list of educational qualifications including a Bachelor of Science in Architecture at the University of the Visayas, senior high school under STEM, and TESDA National Certificate II in Technical Drafting. It also lists certifications such as Safety Officer 2 and software skills in AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, D5 Render, Lumion, Enscape, and productivity tools.
The portfolio showcases three main projects. The first is the Multi-Community Center in Sogod, Cebu, her thesis project. It is described as an inclusive, multifunctional hub inspired by clam shell forms, with features for cultural activities, education, livelihood, recreation, and community services. The design incorporates contemporary vernacular elements, passive cooling strategies, and sustainable approaches rooted in Sogod's coastal identity.
For the community center project, the document provides a site development plan with legends for building A, building B, Sogod Public Market, Poblacion Elementary School, parking, health clinic, barangay hall, food park, playground, and multipurpose court. Floor plans detail ground and second floors for both buildings, including tourism information center, comfort rooms, health clinic, commercial spaces, library, audio room, and lease spaces.
The remaining projects are briefly introduced: a five-star hotel titled Flowing Horizon and a socialized housing rowhouse called Hinabi. Together with the community center, these works demonstrate the architect's range across institutional, hospitality, and residential typologies. The portfolio closes with interior renderings of rental spaces, a boutique, a public library, and the Sogod information center.
