Gozar Planners Architect

Gozar Planners Architect, identified in reference material as Gozar Planners Phils., Inc., is a Philippine architectural and engineering design consultancy founded by Enrique Gozar in 2001. The firm is associated with architectural planning, engineering design, and consultancy work for large-scale developments, with reported activity extending beyond the Philippines into China and the wider Asia-Pacific region. The practice’s work spans more than conventional building architecture. Its stated areas of service include structural engineering and design-related work connected with construction, interior and exterior decoration, furniture and furnishing, lighting, electronics, transportation, and arts and crafts. This range suggests an integrated planning and design model in which architectural, engineering, and supporting building disciplines are coordinated within a single consultancy. The available reference material particularly emphasizes structural engineering services for major projects. Gozar Planners Architect has been associated with high-rise, residential, hotel, commercial, and mixed-use developments. The firm’s portfolio includes condominium and residential projects in Metro Manila, office and commercial towers in Makati and Shanghai, hotel projects in the Philippines and China, and major developments connected with the Metrobank Group. The cited work includes the Metrobank Center in Cebu and another Metrobank Center in Ortigas, as well as a residential condominium project at the reclamation area along Roxas Boulevard in Pasay. Other named projects include Axxa Life Tower and GT Tower on Ayala Avenue in Makati, Aspac Tower in Shanghai, Bay Gardens Phase 2, Valencia Hills Residential, and Ocean Tower Residential Condo. The listed portfolio also includes the Duty Free Complex, which is dated to 1996 in the reference material, predating the firm’s stated 2001 founding. The available sources do not explain whether that project was undertaken by an earlier practice, by Enrique Gozar before the incorporation of Gozar Planners Phils., Inc., or through another form of professional association. It should therefore be treated as a reported associated project rather than definitive evidence that the incorporated firm existed in 1996. Internationally, the firm’s named hotel and residential work includes projects in Shenzhen, Dalian, Guilin, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. The China-related portfolio includes Aspac Tower and Shanghai residential and office condominiums, as well as Forum InterContinental Hotel and Forum Hotel in Shenzhen, Furama Hotel and Dalian Hotel in Dalian, Kempinski Hotel in Hong Kong, and Ramada Hotel in Guilin. The available material does not provide project completion dates, client contracts, construction roles, or detailed technical descriptions for these buildings. The firm was founded by Enrique Gozar, who is identified as a University of Santo Tomas graduate. No reliable information in the supplied material establishes the current leadership team, ownership structure, corporate parent, listed status, current headquarters city, revenue, employee count, or present operating status. Accordingly, Gozar Planners Architect is best documented as a specialist professional-services brand with a portfolio centered on architectural planning, structural engineering, and multidisciplinary design consultancy for large developments.

Gozar Planners Architect is documented as a Philippine architectural and engineering design consultancy operating under the name Gozar Planners Phils., Inc. The firm was founded in 2001 by Enrique Gozar, who is identified as a University of Santo Tomas graduate. Its stated regional scope includes the Philippines, China, and the wider Asia-Pacific area. The practice’s work combines architecture and engineering, with particular emphasis on structural engineering for large projects. Its service description extends to several associated design and development fields, including construction, decoration, electronics, furniture, furnishing, lighting, transportation, arts, and crafts. This indicates a multidisciplinary consultancy rather than a narrowly specialized architectural studio. The firm has been associated with a portfolio of high-rise residential, commercial, office, and hospitality projects. In the Philippines, named projects include Axxa Life Tower and GT Tower on Ayala Avenue in Makati, Bay Gardens Phase 2, Valencia Hills Residential, Ocean Tower Residential Condo on Roxas Boulevard, the Metrobank Center in Cebu, the Metrobank Center in Ortigas, Tiarra Hotel in Makati, Sunrise Delta Hotel in Makati, Tiarra Oriental Hotel in Makati, and the Duty Free Complex. A residential condominium development connected with the Metrobank Group at the reclamation area along Roxas Boulevard in Pasay is also specifically cited. The international portfolio identified in the available reference material is concentrated in China and Hong Kong. It includes Aspac Tower in Shanghai, Shanghai residential and office condominiums, Forum InterContinental Hotel and Forum Hotel in Shenzhen, Furama Hotel and Dalian Hotel in Dalian, Kempinski Hotel in Hong Kong, and Ramada Hotel in Guilin. These projects place the firm within a regional design and engineering context, although the supplied material does not specify the firm’s precise role on each project or provide completion dates. One portfolio entry, the Duty Free Complex, is dated 1996, while the firm’s stated foundation date is 2001. The available source does not resolve whether the 1996 project belonged to a predecessor practice, an earlier professional activity by the founder, or the incorporated firm as later described. The date is therefore retained as a portfolio milestone with that qualification. No verified information is supplied about subsequent corporate restructuring, current executives, ownership, revenue, offices, or present-day operations. The firm’s documented identity remains that of a Philippine-founded architectural and engineering consultancy whose reported work covers complex buildings and related development-design services across the Philippines and parts of East Asia.
