In this week’s episode, explore a unique home nestled in El Nido, Palawan.
Discover a 1,500 square feet residence built on a 1000 square feet footprint, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Designed by architect Justin Guiab, the home exemplifies a harmonious coexistence with nature, featuring open spaces and humble materials like wood, clay, rammed earth, and concrete.
With no distinct main door, entry to the house is fluid, inviting natural light and ventilation. The design follows the land’s natural slope, enhancing the connection with the outdoors. An open layout combines kitchen, dining, and living areas, anchored by a large multi-functional table. This communal space not only fosters practicality but also promotes unity with its surroundings.
Thoughtful elements abound, from the water source to sustainable building practices.
Water sourced from a nearby spring, rich in minerals, serves the household needs, while a pocket garden with swamp taros aids in natural water filtration. The roof's cogon grass insulation and oculus design reflect local wisdom and sustainability, ensuring comfort and longevity.
Throughout the home, simplicity meets functionality.
The bedroom features minimalist furnishings and indirect lighting, echoing natural ambient light patterns. In the bathroom, a carved rock basin stands testament to craftsmanship and connection to the land.
For architect Justin Guiab and his family, this home is a sanctuary.
It's a place where design meets purpose, where every detail echoes a commitment to living in harmony with nature. Join us as we explore a space where thoughtful design and natural beauty intertwine seamlessly.
As always, special thanks to the homeowners opening up their home to us.
