Inspired by using bahay kubo
Working with the Buensalido + Architects company, PRTV developed a flood-responsive home by borrowing conventional Filipino features.
“We used the concept of a bahay kubo. Since the first flooring are the first thing hit while floodwaters upward thrust, we made sure that our houses are designed to begin from the second one ground up,” defined Aguilar.
The Smart Home is a three-story townhouse. The first ground contains a parking area, a protected component that may be transformed into a garage area or used as a space to entertain visitors, a small garden place, and stairs main to the primary front of the home. The 2nd floor, rather than containing communal areas as the lower floor of a traditional home might, houses the bedrooms, whilst the residing room, kitchen, and eating place are all on the pinnacle floor.
