2026 ASIA’S BEST FIRM IN MASTER PLANNING - ARCHIGLOBAL INC.
Company: ArchiGlobal Inc.
Location: Cebu, Philippines
Owner: Michael Torres
ArchiGlobal Inc. positions master planning as a people-first discipline, where open space is treated as the origin of design rather than residual land. Emerging from post-pandemic shifts in how cities value outdoor environments, the firm’s approach prioritizes breathing space, movement, and community interaction as the foundation for all developments.
Each project begins with the strategic structuring of open space, allowing built forms to frame, protect, and activate shared environments. From civic destinations like Tops Cebu to integrated developments such as Oakridge Business Park and Uptown Metropolis, ArchiGlobal consistently transforms landscapes into social anchors that drive both user experience and long-term asset value.
The firm differentiates itself through disciplined density control and climate-responsive planning. By creating wind corridors, optimizing orientation, and integrating natural features into the masterplan, projects achieve both environmental performance and spatial clarity. Open spaces are designed as intuitive wayfinding systems, reducing reliance on artificial navigation while enhancing user comfort.
Through this approach, ArchiGlobal delivers masterplans that are not only commercially viable but also socially impactful, establishing a balance between development efficiency, environmental responsibility, and meaningful human experience.
