Description

This two-story contemporary Filipino house gives a spacious feel. With 2 meters setback at the rear and the side, it allows for a verandah from both the living area and the master bedroom.  The double volume at the stairwell brings in much light to the ground and second floors.

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.

The trellis and the red and brown colors give a traditional Filipino feel that adds to the hominess of the design.
