Description

This two-story simple house is a modern take of a Filipino house. With minimum 2 meters setback at all sides, it allows for a verandah from the living area and the master bedroom. The window design is a unique feature that represents the ventanillas of the bahay kubo or the traditional nipa hut.

A full-sized toilet and bath is provided for each story, and as a bonus, the number of steps from ground to second floor is considered lucky.

There are generous spaces for wardrobe closets for each bedroom, and a storage room below the stairs.

Minimum lot size: (11m x 12.3m) 135sqm
