Two-Storey Mediterranean House in Palawan

Folks, did you still remember my old post entitled Mediterranean House? I hope you do.  This was picked by one of my clients as his dream house.  However, this time my client suggested for a bit revision of the design by detaching the garage from the house.   So the front yard appeared to be wide and spacious.
Friends, you always have the choice to decide with your own dream house design based on your personal preferences.   You are the owner of the house and so my obligation to satisfy and fulfill the house design you've ever dreamed of.

For those of you who are looking for an inspiration of Mediterranean house design in the Philippines here's my simple and practical design that might inspire you or something to that effect.


Way back from the history, the Mediterranean Revival architecture was an eclectic design style that was first introduced in the United States about the end of the nineteenth century, and became popular during the 1920s and 1930s. The style evolved from renewed interest in the Italian Renaissance architecture of palaces and seaside villas dating from the sixteenth century, and can be found mainly in the states California and Florida due to the popular association of these coastal regions with Mediterranean resorts.

Architects August Geiger and Addison Mizner did much to popularize this style in Florida; while Bertram Goodhue, Sumner Spaulding, and Paul Williams did likewise in California. Structures are typically multi-story and based on a rectangular floor plan, and feature massive, symmetrical primary façades. Mediterranean Revival is characterized generally by stuccoed wall surfaces, flat or low-pitched terra cotta and tile roofs, arches, scrolled or tile-capped parapet walls and articulated door surrounds. Feature detailing is occasionally executed with keystones.
Balconies and window grilles are common, and are generally made of wrought iron or wood. Ornamentation can be simple or dramatic, and may use various Mediterranean references. Classical, Spanish Renaissance, Spanish Colonial, and Beaux-Arts architecture details are often incorporated into the design, as are lush gardens.
The style was most commonly applied to hotels, apartment buildings, commercial structures, and even modest residences. Mediterranean Revival was one of several architectural styles used extensively by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Railroad companies when designing their train stations in California.

Mini-Resort and Apartment

Hey folks, the heat of summer are still on, isn't it? Everyone, if not most of us would want to escape from the city's annoying atmosphere to relax with our friends, family or love ones. Some would go to the beach, mountains with refreshing water falls to connect with our mother nature; or to resorts for some with minimal budget just to cool down our summer....  Folks, I bet, this is a high time for me to design a mini resort with studio type apartment that is perfect for this summer season.


The distinct features of this mini resort project are a studio type's apartment along with.  Unlike other resorts, this is really not luxurious resort as what you might think or expect like those resorts in Boracay, Palawan, Surigao or Mindoro which are considered as one of the best luxurious resort  in the country, with palm tree lined beach front location and with world class amenities. 



This mini resort project has only a lot area of 950 square meters, however; we can still find ways to provide the client needs and preferences. This mini resort has two bedrooms rest house, six units of studio type apartment in a row, function hall cottage, swimming pool and parking spaces. The landscaping is not that complicated too, it is simple and practical which is just perfect to the lot.



My dear friends/followers, there can be a lot of overwhelming resort design can be seen online all over the world but only this resort design captures a "Pinoy" touch or preferences which is simple, refreshing but elegant.

A House in a Sloping Land

This one again? Yes indeed! If you take a look back my old blog entitled Post modern House 2 and Post modern house 2 updates, this house design can be seen there. This time, it will rise soon in the queen city of the south, Cebu City, Philippines. The very obvious difference and distinction of this design is that the existing lot is sloping and it has three levels. The first level is the two-car garage with its own staircase inside going to the second level which is the garage roof deck; or May I call it the viewing deck that leads to the main level. The land really challenges me a lot because I am not used in designing a house in a sloping land but thanks God I was able to create something that suit the needs of my client.


Updates!!!


This house has four bedrooms including the helper's room. The Master's bedroom is spacious enough with its own walk-in closet and bathroom. Every room has its own bathroom, including the helper's room. It has also a separate bathroom at the back of the house in the service area. It has a separate entertainment room which is accessible from the living room. One thing that makes this house unique is that we were able to utilize the area underneath the living room as a mini gym as part of the second level.

In terms of size and measurements, this four-bedroom residential house has a lot area of 375 square meters. This is a perfect design if you have a lot which of the same size like this.

My dear friends/followers, there can be a lot of overwhelming house design can be seen online all over the world but only this house design captures a "Pinoy" touch or preferences which is simple, refreshing but elegant house.

Philippine Dream house in Africa.

Does this dream house looks familiar to you? Yes, Indeed it is! as this was the same house design which I posted in my previous  blog entitled "Post Modern House" in 2011.  As I recalled, I conceptualized the design of this house during my past time.  But this house will soon rising in Africa.  Can you believe that? Kinda overwhelming feeling.......

So much for that, here's the perspective of said house design.

In terms of size and measurements, this house has a building area of 156 sqm. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms plus the usual areas like living room, kitchen and dining. As you can see, this dream house has enough perimeter space to expand and this shows a lot of potential. The most exciting part of the house is  the living room which opens up directly into  the front yard, in which you can see more of green and landscape with great area where children can speciously play.

I was hesitant at first accepting this project in Africa as I do not actually does business outside the Philippines.   Eventually, I came to realize, "why  don't i give a try?".   Thanks God this project goes very well. I still believe that our world is still filled with honest, good or trust worthy and God fearing people.

My dear friends/followers, there can be a lot of overwhelming house design can be seen online all over the world. But only this house design captures"Pinoy" preferences which are simple, refreshing but elegant house.

Three-Storey Modern House.

Modern architecture is generally characterized by simplification of form and an absence of applied decoration. Some of the Common themes or elements of modern architecture include: the notion that "Form follows function", a dictum originally expressed by Frank Lloyd Wright's early mentor Louis Sullivan, meaning that the result of design should derive directly from its purpose, simplicity and clarity of forms and elimination of "unnecessary detail", visual expression of structure (as opposed to the hiding of structural elements), the related concept of "Truth to materials", meaning that the true nature or natural appearance of a material ought to be seen rather than concealed or altered to represent something else, use of industrially-produced materials; adoption of the machine aesthetic, particularly in International Style modernism, a visual emphasis on horizontal and vertical lines.

Source: Wikipedia

Based from the above mentioned elements of modern architecture, I created one house design that will somehow inspire in choosing and searching your own dream modern house design. I am hopeful that you’ll like it. As to the best of my knowledge and understanding, modern house design that is based on what was explained above and described in Wikipedia possesses with simple character yet its beauty is visible within the clarity of structures. 

This three story Modern house that I did have the following spaces in the ground floor: garage, living, dining, kitchen, bathroom and staircase that makes it a simple and common house.  It has also a swimming pool at the back which unfortunately not visible in this design. In the second floor area has a Master's bedroom with toilet and bath, two standard size bedrooms sharing a common bathroom plus of course the balcony. The third floor is for the multi-purpose hall with an open area as roof deck.

Here's another scheme.

Post Modern House-2 (updates)

Friends, did you still remember my old post entitled Post modern house-2 , modern living room, modern dining and kitchen design combine, and the living room christmas decoration? I hope you still remember those great post of mine (aheem!!!) and I hope you like them too. Kidding aside, actually they are in one roof; I mean they are all in one house. I just post it individually before and now I decided to show it all in one post. 
Drum roll please!!! For those of you who are looking for an inspiration of post-modern house, modern living room, modern dining and kitchen room in the Philippines here's my simple and practical design that might inspire you or something of that nature.



If we will recall that postmodern architecture began as an international style the first examples of which are generally cited as being from the 1950s, but did not become a style until the late 1970s and continues to influence present-day architecture. Post modernity in architecture is said to be heralded by the return of "wit, ornament and reference" to architecture in response to the formalism of the International Style of modernism. As with many cultural fashions, some of Postmodernism's most pronounced and visible ideas can be seen in architecture. The functional and formalized shapes and spaces of the modernist style are replaced by diverse aesthetics: styles collide, form is adopted for its own sake, and new ways of viewing familiar styles and space abound. Perhaps most obviously, architects rediscovered the expressive and symbolic value of architectural elements and forms that had evolved through centuries of building which had been abandoned by the modern style.

Living room Christmas decoration


Merry Christmas to each and everyone around the world!

It's Christmas holiday once again! Putting Christmas decoration in our house has been a tradition in celebrating Christmas. More so, it’s always been the thing that lightened up our mood for the season.  In the Philippines, the living room is usually became the center of attraction for our Christmas decorations.  Although, most of the families are gathered in the dining area where they eat together during Christmas Eve, but there are some would like it to happen in the living room with the huge Christmas tree.  A living room without Christmas tree/decoration becomes dull. One better way to welcome Christmas is making our home a small festival of joy.

Every person has each own way of decorating one's living room depending on our personal taste. We even search it through web to find more ideas on the theme or motif/design, etc to satisfy our decoration style. From cookies to the Christmas tree, from the ornaments to the chocolates, there is a wide range of items you can display on your creativity.

Here is a sample of a beautiful living room which I designed.  I hope you’ll be inspired.

Modern Dining and Kitchen Design Combine.




In the West, a modern residential kitchen is typically equipped with a stove, a sink with hot and cold running water, a refrigerator and kitchen cabinets arranged according to a modular design. Many households have a microwave oven, a dishwasher and other electric appliances. The main function of a kitchen is cooking or preparing food but it may also be used for dining.

A dining room is a room for consuming food. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving, although in medieval times it was often on an entirely different floor level. Historically the dining room is furnished with a rather large dining table and a number of dining chairs; the most common shape is generally rectangular with two armed end chairs and an even number of un-armed side chairs along the long sides.

The whole idea of combining these two areas the dining and the kitchen is to make serving meals so much easier and the cleaning after the meal. There's no need of moving between two rooms not to mention that you save a lot of time and of course space. The addition of a television in the Dining is not common to the majority but to some they love watching television while cooking and dining. I think every homeowner should take good care of how this room will look like by creating something that will perfectly reflect the owner's personality and style. There are so many styles that we can choose from, we can even browse the net of styles that we want it could be classic, country, contemporary or modern style.

Personally, as you can see in my design I love modern design. I always wanted to have my own modern dining and kitchen room that is why I design one. For those of you who are looking for an inspiration of modern dining and kitchen room in the Philippines here's my simple modern design that might inspire you or something of that nature.

Elevated House Design 2

Folks, are you planning to build or construct your own dream house soon?  Next year or in the coming future?  Or just plain curious about how to start making your dream house come true?  Then, you have browsed just the right page.
Yes!  Level up to a three-story elevated house.  You may have just been waiting for this second design to perfectly suit your requirement for a flood-free elevated house, while offering a spectacular view.  Obviously, there's no such thing as an absolute flood -free design.  Available designs have been made only to minimize the impact of floods, typhoons, and incessant rains in the Philippines.  

(Please click this image to see in a higher resolution)

(Please click this image to see in a higher resolution)

So what’s new with this second design?  This design is as interesting as the first one, except for the additional floor which gives your family an elevated protection.  Take a closer look at the additional space in this design, yet in a relatively inexpensive manner. You now have two options to choose from. It's up to you to decide. The first one has only two levels above the ground while this one has three floors. The next obvious difference is the height of the first level from the ground line. The first design has 2.25 meters in height from the ground to the first level while the second one is only 1.65 meters high. These choices must give you more freedom to complement your design with the chosen location. Anyway, the real difference lies in your taste, preference, and your budget. You may think that your area is not in the flood danger zone but think with me, it is always wise to be on the defensive mode in protecting your property or business and of course your family.

Philippine Flood-Proof Elevated House Design



Is your house located within or near the flood danger zone (refer to http://www.nababaha.com/)?  Was your house badly devastated by the recent floods in the Philippines due to the heavy rains caused by the southwest monsoon (habagat) that lasted for several days?  Or have you moved on from the loss of a loved one from typhoons Ketsana(Ondoy) and Washi (Sendong)?  The loss of lives and properties due to climate change is, indeed, alarming.  If you are currently planning for house or building construction or reconstruction in an area prone to flooding, consider this elevated house design which reduces the impact of flooding and hopefully alleviates financial costs.

Please click the image for higher resolution

Emotionally stunned at the catastrophic damages by the recent typhoons and floods that have brought to my Motherland, I, as a Filipino architect, have come up with a practical, cost-effective, and sustainable design in protecting Filipino homes from the adverse effects of floods.  Even if the chosen location to construct your house may seem to be flood-free, it is always wise to be on the defensive mode in protecting your family. You’ve got to see my design which I call the “Philippine Flood-Proof Elevated House Design”.

Interior Color Design


The greatest challenge in color design is to be able to predict and control the result of a color scheme. Effective color selection can be an inexpensive yet powerful element in any design. Color can perform a multitude of roles and can affect a person's emotions, energy level, and sense of order, or disorder. As well, it can set the tone of an interior and make it seem formal or informal, masculine or feminine, cooly aloof or invitingly warm. The aim of successful interior color design is to be able to control these effects through the masterful use of color as a design tool itself.


Some client ask their designer what is the right color for them. Well, that is a good question indeed. To answer that question let me share with you the interview of Ms. Erin Cecille Langan (design director of DWP) which is done by sigma paints. DWP (Design Worldwide Partnership) is an interior design and architectural practice with 12 offices and over 450 staff located in the middle east and Asia.


 What is the right color for me?
I believe the right color is the color that brings you the most happiness. There is no right or wrong choice. Whatever one feels most drawn to or intuitively inspired by is "right". Color, as with creativity, should have few rules and one should consider it an area for vast exploration.
What are the tools used to define the right color for my environment?
As a design director for DWP,I rely heavily on the natural environment where my project is located. I often take stones, sand, leaves and shells to obtain a computer paint match that creates a soothing interiors color for wherever the project might be located in the world.
How important is color in interior design?
There have been many studies especially with regards to healthcare interiors, that indicate color and the environment make a great impact on the time it takes a person to heal. DWP is working in the healthcare market to bring softer, warmer hues to hospitals and clinic with a residential feel.



What are the main psychological effects of color?
In interior design, color is used to specific purposes depending on the setting. When DWP does restaurant design, we rely heavily on reds, and oranges as they create more energy and sense of urgency allowing the restaurant owner a higher table turn for their setting groups. Likewise, spa design often tends to a cooler palette of blues and greens as this direction encourages peace and relaxation.
