Alyssa Olalia · Architect
I am a Filipino Registered and Licensed Architect with 10 years of experience across residential, commercial, resort, and hospitality projects.
My work is rooted in coastal and tropical design, creating spaces that respond to climate, environment, and context. While my experience is primarily in residential and hospitality projects, my design approach is adaptable across institutional, mixed-use, and urban developments.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines, and am currently completing a Master of Architectural Science in Sustainable Design and Illumination Design at the University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia.
My philosophy is reflected in my logo, representing the cycle of creating spaces that support human life before ultimately returning to the earth. A reminder that every mindful design decision, regardless of scale, contributes to a better built environment for generations to come.
