Architect In The Philippines

My name is Ian Fulgar, and I am an architect in the Philippines.

I work with landowners, investors, and real estate communities to create exciting and competitive development projects. My research interests include building industry trends, unique property development ventures, and the next generation of architecture.

Ian Fulgar, architect in the Philippines

Hi there! I have the excellent opportunity of working with many exciting people in the real estate and building industries. An architect bridges everyone’s aspirations and requirements, including landowners, investors, engineers, suppliers, and contractors. Each project introduced is always exciting and has its unique challenges. To deliver the best ideas, I need to be open-minded and flexible. This experience taught me that being an architect in the Philippines is not just about creating buildings; it also means being able to design spaces with cultural sensitivity, having a roadmap for community welfare, and having a framework for regional impact. And with each project’s experience gathered, there are plenty of incredible anecdotes and inspiring lessons along the way. Welcome to my blog, and don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter called The Projects to stay in touch with future real estate and building industry opportunities.

Joint Venture Opportunities in Real Estate Development

I also come up with ways for real estate investors and property owners in the Philippines to work together on joint venture projects. Investors want to invest in real estate projects that accrue the highest return. Property owners want to utilize their property and make a profit. My proficiency in developing unique and viable real estate projects brings both parties together to form a joint venture agreement to help gentrify the land and generate profit. We have a team of professionals and local partners, like investors, engineers, real estate brokers, appraisers, suppliers, contractors, accountants, and lawyers, ready to help with any project. If you have idle lands or are simply interested in real estate development investments, please feel free to get in touch. I would love to know more about what we can do together.

Welcome to my blog!

One of the roles of an architect in the Philippines is not only to solve the design issues in the country but also to provide help and opportunities for sharing information about architectural trends, techniques, case studies, and updates in the real estate industry. So, I made this blog to share industry knowledge and give people a place to ask for help, share thoughts, and talk about or share ideas or experiences in practice.

Past and Ongoing Projects

I have always been fascinated with the future and unique architecture. Fulgar Architects is an architectural firm in the Philippines that promotes design philosophies precisely like that.

Second, I would sometimes play around with ideas for architectural design on my own or enter competitions. I hope you enjoy my portfolio and my journey as a designer and planner in the Philippines. Third, architects are only as good as the team they work with. The success of any project depends on the dedication and talents of each team member working on it. To them, I extend my honor and gratitude.

Services of An Architect In The Philippines

I believe architects are in the business of providing services. No project is ever too small or too big. I provide architectural planning and design services, from pre-design, master planning, design development, and specialized architectural services to professional consulting services. My international and local experience includes hotel designs and resorts, entertainment with casinos, condo towers, office buildings, house designs, residential mixed-use, townhouses, subdivision ventures, township development, civic and cultural, commercial and industrial, urban planning, and renewable energy projects. If you are looking for an architect who is easy to talk to, forward-thinking, and can connect you to other real estate opportunities, then look no further. My profile and CV are available here.
