The three-storey, octagonal Foot Guard House, originally constructed in the National Capital Region circa 1939, stands as a distinctive heritage structure, later expanded with an additional wing in the late 1960s. This project encompassed a comprehensive rehabilitation of both the historic building and its subsequent extension, along with the careful integration of a new mechanical room. Thoughtfully embedded within the embankment of the surrounding classified cultural landscape, the new addition was designed to minimize visual impact while preserving the integrity of the site. 

The restoration approach respected the building’s original architectural intent and its heritage values, with meticulous attention given to renewing the exterior envelope and upgrading interior amenities to modern standards. While the new mechanical addition serves a primarily utilitarian role, its material palette was intentionally selected to harmonize with the wooded context, featuring black-pigmented concrete and dark bronze anodized, laser-cut aluminum screens that subtly blend into the natural surroundings.
