1.0 SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Hydrotherapy is a part of medicine and alternative medicine that involves
the use of water for pain relief such as: joint pains, muscular pains and
headaches. Studies have shown that the frequency of visiting a spa directly
correlates with better quality sleep, fewer sick days, reduced absenteeism from
work and fewer hospitalizations. More specifically, the heat from a hot tub, sauna
or steam shower soothes aches and pains from arthritis, fibromyalgia and other
joint issues. Hydrotherapy, heat therapy and massages both improve blood
circulation and manage blood pressure. Some spas even have Pilates and yoga,
which improve flexibility and breathing. This includes; water spa, pools, showers,
jets, and other treatment that will make you relax or comfortable
(http//www.wikipedia.com).
More people around the world have begun to recognize the importance of
wellness. In 2015, the market size of the global wellness industry amounted to
more than 3.7 trillion U.S. dollars. The various segments making up the wellness
industry are diverse and include, among others, healthy eating and weight loss,
fitness, alternative medicine and the spa industry (https://www.statista.com).
In the Philippines, as the end of 2006, there were an estimated 87 spas
operating in Metro Manila alone, a figure of 74% higher since 2003. And with
those offering spa services, as hotels and resorts jumped on the bandwagon,
there are 20% spas located in hotels and resorts, and 76% of spas stand-alone
day spas.(www.IntelligentSpas.com).

protecting the spa and business industry. In Cebu the owner of Body &Soul
Franchise Corporation., one of the largest spa chains in the country, pays P9,000

2.1 SITE SELECTION PROCESS
A. Site Selection Criteria / Adaptability of the Site
1. Adjacent areas – the site must be in accordance with its surroundings and
can adapt to the project proposal.
2. Erosion– The soil of the site should be strong and applicable to the project.
3. Temperature & Sun path - The average temperature of the area, as well as
the monthly average temperature has to be studied to determine the temperature
range and the fluctuations, which will impact the design. The lesser surface area
of the building which is exposed to the sun, lesser will be the conductive heating.
4. Wind direction - it will be important to consider the direction of the wind so
that it can be channelized through the interiors. This will play a major role in
placement & size of openings.
5. Surrounding land uses & buildings - f the land uses are incompatible, it may
lead to creation of issues in the design.
6. Orientation - The orientation of the site plays a very important role in siting of
the building. This, when combined with the wind direction and sun path, would
give a good idea as to how the design should be oriented so as to optimize the
design. The orientation along with the sun path will also determine the placement
of rooms inside buildings. For instance, in a warm tropical climate, the bedrooms
will be placed such that they are not facing the west or the south.

3.1 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS AND CORESPONDING DESIGN SOLUTION
a. Environmental Factors
Plate no. 5
The orientation of the project will be adapting to the pathways of the wind
where as the South West Monsoon will be striking on the building, while the North
94
East Monsoon will be striking the Hydrotherapeutic Spa. The shape of the plan will
form an S-shaped polygon in the southern part of the lot. The building and with the
help of the roofing in the hydrotherapeutic spa will block the heat of the sun. The
building will also help block the noise coming from the highway so that it will help
the relaxing and silent atmosphere in the project.

118
b. Interrelationship of Facilities
Plate no. 6
The overall planning will be designed accordingly in its relationship and
connections with the areas. The Parking will be connected to the Massage Center,
Restaurant & Commercial stalls where the main entry is also located. Going to the
Hydrotherapeutic Spa, from the reception desk will go to the security entry and locker
room beside the Massage Center. The Tourist inn will be located at the eastern near
edge of the building to segregate the public costumers to the costumers who will avail
rooms. Administrative offices will be located at the north-east side of the building located
near the private parking area.

3.2 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY AND CONCEPT
“Form Follows Function”
Description: Form follows function is a principle associated with modernist
architecture and industrial design in the 20 th century. The principle is that the shape of
the building or object should be primarily based upon its intended function or purpose.
Luis Soullivan believed that the exterior of an office building should reflect its interior
structure and its interior functions.
Application: As stated above, the exterior form of the proposed facilities reflects its
interior structure and functions. Upon planning, we take into consideration the
similarities and connections of spaces required. That is the primary thing to be
considered in applying to the proposed buildings taking into account the entrance and
exits, public and private access, and the convenience of the occupants taking place.
3.3 SCHEMES DEVELOPMENTS
a. Site Development concepts and schemes
Plate no. 12
123
The Concept is based on the aquarius symbol which will be applied on the
planning of the project. The shape of the building is polygonal with 8 sides shaping like
a boomerang. The orientation building is located at the south side so that the solar
panels, solar heater can take the advantage of the heat, then somehow lessening the
heat of the site. The west side of the project is open so that costumers on the spa can
see the sunset or the beauty of the sea. The north side of the project is open so that the
north east monsoon will enter and south west monsoon will enter in the building
The style of the project is modern Spanish so that it can blend on the buildings of
San Juan La Union which is Spanish style. The planning of the areas will be linear so
that it will be easy for the costumers to circulate and stress free on going on different
areas. Green Roofing will be applied on the rooftop of the building for aesthetic
purposes. The parking will be one way entry and exit.
The Vegetation inside the Hydrotherapeutic spa will consist of herbal plant which
consists of an aroma therapeutic odor to help the costumer heal in both physical and
emotional sickness. Trees and plants will be surrounding the Hydrotherapeutic pool so
that the odor will spread easily and can make costumers comfortable for their sense of
smell. Also the vegetation will serve as aesthetic to the Hydrotherapeutic spa.
The Hydrotherapeutic pool will be located at the center of the project and will
adapt modern motifs. The areas will be arrange accordingly to its type of massage and
will be spaciously designed so that the costumers will not feel claustrophobic.
