Introduction

Tourism has contributed significantly to a country's foreign exchange profits. A beach resort, to be specific,
has proven to be one of the highest earners in terms of both domestic and foreign tourists. As a result, a Beach Resort
Hotel Complex will be built in Subic Beach, Calintaan, Matnog, Sorsogon. Along with the different tourist locations
that emphasize Matnog's geographical beauty, the town's historical heritage is also highly precious and should be
maintained and honored. Historical sites across the world, such as the Greek temples, are recognized for their beauty
and contribution to the corpus of architectural knowledge.
A Hotel Complex is a professionally owned business that offers lodging and generally meals to visitors, as
well as a public bar. Design considerations are essential when it comes to the area's passive current status. In
compliance with local and national laws and standards, passive cooling. With the growing popularity of travel, hotels
that encourage cultural heritage and tourism, particularly in places like Matnog, are essential. However, the
proponents broadened the scope and included a beach hotel complex with various activities and services for
visitors looking to rest and detox from the stresses of modern life. Nonetheless, the researcher's goal is to establish
a secular atmosphere in order to tolerate and appreciate many forms of religion. Indeed, Matnog is a wonderful
destination to visit and a historic town in need of an iconic.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

We live in a modern period, when technology moves quickly and human beings struggle to keep up.
While time and technology ruin other places' histories, the village of Matnog remains steadfast in preserving
theirs. A hotel is a business that provides lodging, food, and other services to travelers and tourists. The
projected project's establishment must be examined through the utilization of its building materials. For an
effective design, design considerations must be followed, especially for buildings on an island where roads are
not connected and space is limited in every way.
Tourism is a major source of revenue for both local and national governments. One approach to manage such
development is through a hotel complex. As a result, a projected Beach Resort Hotel Complex at Subic Beach,
Calintaan, Matnog, Sorsogon would be carried out.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Tourism is one of the country's main sources of foreign currency. According to the Department of Tourist,
the tourism business contributes more than ten percent (10%) of the Gross National Income on an annual basis.
With the richness of natural beauty found across the archipelago and the ever-increasing number of
international investors, begin on a project that will boost tourism in our country.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The goals of the proposed project are the following:

 To develop a design that can coordinate with existing natural setting without disturbing valuable

resources.

 To develop a design with efficient operational facilities that will set the phase for the tourism

industry.
  To develop a design that will showcase Sorsoganon ingenuity and regional character.

 Complete building spaces that the client gave.

 Cost- effective and efficient.

 Sustainable design.

 Passive cooling is examined.

 Durable buildings and with accordance to local and national codes of the Philippines.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESEARCH

This study would benefit in the overall building of the project. The material in this study represents potential solutions

for a successful design of the proposed project.

To the workers. To assist them in navigating and thoroughly comprehending the project's purpose, as well as the

project's whole setup basis.

To the local government officials. To have documented proof that the project met the required codes.

To the tourist. Provide them with general information about the location where they will be staying.

To the future researchers. This project can be used as a reference for their own research.

METHODOLOGY
 During the project design process, the researcher initially navigates and looks for the project's location.

All of the geographical information about the location. Then develops a concept upon which the project will be

based. Design considerations are also important because the project will take place on an island with limited

transportation and materials. Local and national codes must also be considered. The researcher then began

filling in the essential areas, which must have been manually sketched on tracing paper to be presented.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Hotels are businesses that provide services like lodging, food, and beverages to visitors or

transient residents who choose to remain at the hotel, according to Medlik and Ingram (2000). Since

hotels are in the service industry, they should focus on enhancing the quality of their services to remain

relevant and competitive there (Hueic & Easvaralingam 2011). Businesses that focus on providing the

finest service possible to consumers are said to be able to retain and improve customer loyalty and

satisfaction (Seth, Deshmukh & Vrat 2005)

Tourists have long been drawn to the seaside, thus it is crucial that a nation manage its

beaches sustainably (Jennings, 2004). Beautiful sandy beaches and other coastal natural features

have encouraged the growth of beach resorts all over the world (Wong, 1989). Regardless of the quality

of the accommodations, a beach resort is described as a single or group of tourist lodgings that are

beachfronted in terms of location (Wong, 1998). Mahathir (Mahathir, 2001) asserts that the

development of beach resorts may result in a country producing more foreign exchange revenues, and

that this is made possible by the expansion of the tourist sector. This may also be motivated by a desire

to enhance the living circumstances or general wellbeing of its residents through more employment

possibilities and more effective revenue generating.

A growing body of literature has focused on the complicated and multifaceted process of how

tourism destinations evolve (Prideaux, 2004). Coastal resorts are receiving a lot of attention, especially

in the context of sustainability (Bramwell, 2004), as well as the nature and consequences of their

evolution (Agarwal & Shaw, 2007; Andriotis, 2006; Dowling & Pforr, 2009; Young, 1983).

Islands are a fascinating and significant type of travel destination (Harrison, 2001; King, 1997; Lockhart

& Drakakis-Smith, 1997), and they can be small, like those in the Maldives, with only room for one

lodging establishment, or they can be considerably bigger with multiple resorts. Tourists are typically

drawn to places because of their distinctness and feeling of distinction. Some islands are seen to have

a relaxed atmosphere and exotic people, as well as unspoiled environments, which are complemented

by warm and sunny weather (Baum, 1997). They possess the attributes of mainland coastal areas,
traditionally magnets for tourists, with the additional appealing qualities arising from their geography

(Tourtellot, 2007).

As a tourist business matures, a prevalent morphological pattern is one of expansion from

modest beginnings. Although bigger resorts also have distinct business and residential zones,

commercial activity is initially focused in the original town and subsequently moves along the beach

and inland in a movement that can displace other residents and purposes (Meyer-Arendt, 1985;

Stansfield & Rickert, 1970).

Long sections of Caribbean and Mediterranean beaches where fishing villages have been

turned into tourist cities are characterized by urbanization driven by tourism (Barke & France, 1996;

Duval, 2004). The lack of research studies, which is now being addressed, is a reflection of the fact

that mass tourism is more recent in sections of the Asia Pacific region, such as South East Asia (Liu &

Wall, 2009). Nevertheless, it also provides examples of how quickly things have changed (King, 2001).

The progression from a small town to a major tourist destination is consistent with the long-standing

destination life cycle theory (Butler, 1980, 2001), which has undergone extensive testing but produced

conflicting findings. However, although reality may be more complicated (Butler, 2006; Prideaux, 2000),

there is evidence that resorts do experience a rise and subsequent fall in popularity as time passes

(Agarwal, 2002).

Customer satisfaction is every resort's first focus. It is thought that better levels of customer

satisfaction may lead to more repeat business. Services must be delivered promptly and precisely since

the hotel and resort businesses depend so much on them. It is quite significant. It is critical for the hotel

sector to communicate its expectations to the workers who serve its customers, as they supply the

service and contribute to the development of a service culture inside hotels. The aforementioned resort

understands the importance of customer satisfaction.

The objective is based on the notion that there are numerous factors that must be considered in

order to guarantee business success and that these factors should always be taken into account when

giving specific instructions to achieve the desired quality customer satisfaction through highly

competitive services that are attainable. The purpose of this study is to determine the breadth of

services provided by one of our local beaches.

A firm must offer services in its proposal to attract clients. The company and the sort of products

also have an impact on how these services differ. Depending on the context, there are several ways to

describe service. Clients may become incensed by any intangible act or performance that is rendered

to a third party but does not result in the ownership of anything.

 To satisfy consumers is the goal of offering superior services. The way clients are treated at a

business can be good or bad, depending on the service quality.

There are several ways to promote positive intentions, including approving the business,

expressing a preference, increasing purchase volume, agreeing to pay premiums, recommending the

business to others, and continuing to buy after they are happy. Customers who are satisfied with a

company's services are more likely to stick with it, pay less attention to the competition, be less price

sensitive, recommend changes to the company's services, and demand lower prices from it. Customers

can show their disapproval in a variety of ways, such as by strongly wanting to quit the business, cutting

back on purchases, complaining to the seller, and complaining to others outside the organization.

Analyzing defection issues is crucial.

Environmental practices are put in place to enable product development. Consider a hotel as an

example of how the hospitality business differs. The ever-changing tastes and preferences of guests

who want greater service from hotels have forced resort management to adjust. Its tourism demand from

environmentally conscious travelers will almost certainly grow if its pollution levels are reduced. The

tourism organization claims that while creating a high-quality product for the environment, a variety of

elements, including the state of environmental protection, must be taken into account. One such issue

is how customers perceive the level of service offered by hotels.

Even if booking a green hotel may cost more, more and more consumers are prepared to pay extra

for products and services that are ecologically beneficial. The relationship between environmental

practices and client loyalty hasn't been thoroughly studied. Numerous studies have examined the

significance of environmental practices in the hotel business.

An eco-resort is one that has little influence on the environment. environment. We encourage any

activities, no matter how modest, to help reduce environmental distractions on the grounds of lodges

that care about their guests and the preservation of their natural surroundings, according to Eco-Resorts'

definition of "Eco-Resorts supports." The solar panels on this building will produce electricity because

the island is electricity-free.

The environmental dependence of eco-lodges is one of its benefits. All of the tourists are also being

educated about what makes them unique. knowledgeable in nature and wildlife. The greatest eco-lodges

are said to work hard to establish solid relationships with locals. They fund community development

initiatives, invest in equal pay and staff training, provide visitors with the chance to learn about and respect

local cultures, and boost the local economy.

Design Solution:

A. Project Description

In order to give a better view within and outside the structure, a well-organized electrical and water

system may be placed beneath the building and in between the walls of the planned Beach Resort Hotel

Complex. It could be concealed beneath the building to protect any local or international investors or

concealed between the walls to preserve the interior's attractiveness. A clean and suitable waste disposal

system would be necessary in addition to the necessary water and power needed to run the hotel. Due to the

fact that it will initially be hosting millions of domestic and international visitors, dirt and waste disposal will be

a significant issue in maintaining such a large construction. Circulation and proper space organization are also

required for a better and more enjoyable viewing of the displays inside the hotel complex as well as to minimize

additional costs and any mishaps inside and outside the hotel complex.

The design incorporates stainless steel throughout the hotel complex's public areas as a surface that

moves easily between the many moving regions. The wall and ceiling change into a component that captures

the spatial volume while guiding guests via entry points, enclosing event and gathering areas, and leading

them onto the white beaches. giving management as much discretion as feasible while upholding the tight

environmental controls necessary to keep in place throughout the stay of the visitors or guests. A conversation

is established with the supporting buildings, such as the sports facilities and multipurpose event hall facility,

as well as a stark contrast with their surfaces, thanks to the hotel's façade's plain, regular forms.

The building offers a distinctive venue for our country to unite and display the pinnacle of our artistic

and financial achievements. While doing this, the Philippines continues to wow the globe with its astounding

diversity and innovations.

B. .Design Concept
Tropical architecture has gained popularity as a preferred architectural choice for resort

developments, museums, and other recreational facilities due to its reputation for blending in with the

environment. Although many people could mistakenly think that this style of design is attractive, Tropical

Architecture is truly characterized by the ideas that are employed. This architecture incorporates planning and

design ideas into the development in order to keep the inside cool despite the hot and humid atmosphere.

A holistic approach to designing for tropical climates includes taking into account the overall site
 environment. The site's size, shape, form, neighborhood, accessibility, geography, restrictions, locations,

microclimate, and overall aesthetic impact are all taken into account. Since the design blends in well with the

surroundings, it is a popular choice for resort improvements and other sports leisure amenities. The building's

orientation accounts for the route of the sun and the wind to prevent interior heat absorption. Despite the fact

that many people may consider the arrangement to be lavish, the standards followed are what distinguish

tropical architecture. In order to maintain a cool interior temperature in spite of the humid and sweltering

climate, this engineering incorporates planning and plan of arrangements into the development.

For a comprehensive approach, standards for tropical climate planning coordinate the entire site's

environment. It adjusts to the size, shape, neighborhood, accessibility, topography, barriers, regions,

microclimate, and general visual appeal of the location. The structure's orientation is taken into account

together with the direction of the sun and wind in order to lessen internal heat accumulation and allow for

distant cooling. It also considers the availability of materials in the local and provincial areas.

Southeast Asian nations have primarily kept tropical architecture from our ancestors' time despite the

heat and humidity. Although there has been a period of quiet, its rules, which focus on an economic development,

can

still be employed, particularly in light of the bothersome issue of global warming. It also takes into account what organic

materials will be used that might serve as local and regional sources.

Since the time of our ancestors, tropical architecture has been widely used in Southeast Asian countries

with tropical climates. Even though it was developed decades ago, its tenets of sustainable development remain

true today, particularly in light of the escalating impacts of global warming.

C. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

“LIFE IS CHAOTIC. BUILDINGS SHOULD REFELCT IT.”

Frank Gehry is a Canadian-born American Architect known for his contemporaries, against the cold

and often formulaic Modernist buildings that dotted many cityscapes. He is the architect of the famous Walt

Disney Concert Hall. Although his play on architectural tradition also made him associated with

postmodernism, he was classed with the deconstructivist movement in architecture because of his capacity

to challenge the viewer's preconceptions of conventional materials and shapes.

 D. Form Concept

The core form idea of the proposed project will be dynamic forms and deconstructivism that
are consistent with the primary issue and are not monstrous. This suggests that the Beach Hotel
Complex will also have unusual bamboo architecture with a combination of green architecture in
addition to the crab shell and legs. Despite being substantial, the Beach hotel complex would
probably occupy the majority of the space. Its organization and thesis would not be offensive and
revolting.

E. Style Guiding Principles

The Style Guiding Principles serve as the foundation for achieving the building's full functional

and aesthetic potential. Architecture involves more than simply creating the outside; it also involves

thinking about how it will work and why. The structure should be constructed taking the conditions and

elements into account. The following guidelines are listed:

I. Authenticity

A good design looks and feels inevitable. This frequently conceals the several
hours of research required to generate concepts, then sort through them to identify the ideal one.
Design may be thought of as an expedited, iterative process of trial, error, judgment, and selection
in search of a real answer.

II. Craft
Even the most seasoned worker aspires to provide quality work. They appear to be aware when
we produce a design deserving of their efforts. Participants start to appreciate the experience
and put out their best efforts as a result, which may lead the quality of a project to improve without
warning and without incurring any additional costs.

I. Creativity

Our vision, especially our ability to perceive things as they are, must be
continuously renewed. The process of architectural design works the other way around; we must
 envision things that do not yet exist, therefore it is not as simple as it may seem. To maintain and
enhance our capacity to see with new eyes, we embrace travel, drawing, sketching, and just taking
the time to look.

II. Experience

When we understand that the purpose is to satisfy the client's requirements rather than our
own, simple solutions become more obvious. An experienced architect is aware that there will
be several chances to hone their expertise

III. Green Building

A healthy, conserving environment is the goal, whether of energy, materials, air, or water. There are
many aspects to this concept, and the opportunities for green building are expanding rapidly as the
movement matures. “Fulfill the needs of this generation without jeopardizing those of the next.”

IV. Process

We encourage widespread engagement early on in the process to establish the function,

personality, and characteristics of a project. Our creative efforts are significantly supported by the
program that emerges from this participatory process. We then take our concepts back to the project's
key players for frank feedback. The project is given life by this iterative approach with feedback loops.

V. Reality

In spite of these seeming limitations, we frequently discover ways to express ourselves

architecturally while respecting the reality of the site, budget, climate, timeline, and political situation.
Physically and symbolically, accommodation is the art of architecture.

VI. Service

We encourage providing customers, vendors, contractors, and public officials with prompt and
courteous service. In order to keep the design and construction community in a positive environment,
we want to contribute in some way.

VII. Sustainability

It incorporates ecological practices, good architecture naturally making something durable. This involves

using high-quality materials, paying attention to detail, and planning for a long lifespan by making a product

adaptable to potential future applications. We believe that a building's longevity is enhanced by a loose fit

between the building and the program.

 VIII. Value

We believe in using less resources to do more, just like the developer and the environmentalist. To do

this, we need to understand where the money is in a project so that we can appropriately distribute the budget.

Because of this, our structures frequently seem and function better than their price might imply. We are aware of

where to deposit the money.

F. Functional Concept

The significance of their functions will determine how the buildings and structures should be

arranged. The major goals of the proposed beach resort complex were to astound the public with the

placement of the structures. The proposed resort's hotel will serve as both the primary structure and the

location of the lobby. Other recreational structures will be located away from the cottages and villas since they

might disturb guests who are trying to unwind. According to their spatial adjacencies, smaller structures will

be positioned elsewhere.

The circulation and flow of the structures in the region are more systematically designed when the layout

is radial. Additionally, it draws attention to the central structure that is responsible for connecting the buildings

together. Avoiding space waste by integrating the areas into their many characteristics and providing the

necessary structure. Additionally, by doing this, open places are preserved for the future.

G. Economy Concept

The building's construction materials have a significant impact on the building's design's economic

principles. constructing a construction that is more practical, long-lasting, and sustainable.

Economically, the suggested project will be sustainable because to the incorporation of green building;

moreover, the establishment's overall energy consumption will be reduced by adding sustainable elements like

solar panels. In order to have water availability and to save water as well, big and little structures like hotels and

nearby cottages would include water tanks, deep wells, and rainwater collection systems.

H. Time Concept

The planned project will be built using contemporary building techniques. Modern construction

methods employ state-of-the-art innovative building processes and materials in an effort to speed up

construction while using less energy and money. Pre-fabricated materials will be utilized when creating

components that were produced in a factory before being supplied to the site. Native materials like bamboo

and rattan as well as prefabricated parts are to be used to represent the theme's added heritage. To avoid

delays in the building schedule, materials that are safe and simple to export should be considered prior to

shipping.
I. Environmental Concepts
In order to make the most of the potential of the site and the neighborhood, the proposed hotel complex

would include green architecture into its urban design. In addition to the main urban planning, public parks, urban

squares, greenways, and green belt landscaping concepts would be used to improve the attractiveness of the

pavilion buildings outside. A building should be created with the environment in mind by adopting sustainable

energy sources, constructing buildings effectively to spend less energy, and upgrading existing structures with

new technologies. reducing the idle time of the trucks and using cleaner fuels to deliver the goods. Purchasing the

supplies close to the building site saves time and reduces the need for transportation of the goods.

The building site must also be addressed in light of the work plan. To reduce the quantity of

vegetation eliminated during construction, the design idea for the inside of the building along its cross-section

hall must be furnished with an inner garden. Recycled and repurposed materials from construction projects

must be used wherever possible.

J. STYLE GUIDING PRINCIPLE

The overall concept of the proposed project is in line with the building's box-type form, which keeps

things simple and emphasizes solely the wonders of nature via the use of green architecture. The structures

will be given contemporary touches to raise their general quality. The purpose of the proposed beach complex

is to attract the attention of all invited guests. The design will not only pay attention to its functionality and

simplicity, but also to the designer's attention to detail.

K. ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING

The Architectural Programming determines the spatial programming of the Proposed Philippine Exhibition

Pavilion. This portion of the research will determine the spaces needed. Thorough understanding of the

spaces that can be effective to the study is needed.
