  This home was intentionally built and is respectful of its environment. There is such a soulful and spiritual aura to the family and their home and the use of indigenous materials gives honor to the land and the people. This is how people should approach living in our world, not to take advantage of it but to build an appreciation of nature.

  I’ve never been so jealous of a kid before. What an amazing way to grow up.

  Love the fact that the owner asked the house what it wanted to become.:face-red-heart-shape:

  This guy understands architecture. The future of architecture is humble, intelligent, functional, long-lasting, simple and in complete understanding, harmony and integration with nature. And it makes the soul thrive when it lives there. This house is a perfect example of that. Just beautiful and soulful. My heart just smiles 👌 Superb. <br><br>When I see a lot of architecture elsewhere, the problem is many times that it&apos;s more about egoic needs, luxury, only for the rich ect... Those are the ways of the past. On an energetic level, it&apos;s heavy and not very soulful. <br><br>🙏

  So many aspects of our lives has been “westernised” &amp; “urbanised”, it’s so nice to actually see you seek inspiration from your roots for a better, fulfilling way of living. God Bless you and your loved ones.

  I&apos;m not sure if I&apos;m normal but I had to cry. This house is perfect in every way. I have the greatest respect for creating such a work of art

  I&apos;m 19 years old living on a farm in eastern Texas as of now, but i used to live in a neighborhood in the city, it was super cramped. So when we moved out of the city I felt like i had room to breathe.<br>I planted some bamboo at the beginning of the year, and slowly over the past 5 weeks I&apos;ve been quite interested in Bamboo/Natural architecture. This house with its broad open structure and natural materials is something i want to recreate for myself out of bamboo.<br><br>There is something special about being free of Paint, Drywall, Metal, Concrete, the list could go on. Life has been made rigid and confined thanks to the westernization of life and community, i see places like Rural Japan where there is a tight knit sense of community, but here in the west and especially here in the states, the definition of &quot;community&quot; only seems to be about selling goods and making money at annual festivals. <br><br>I see these lives and communities of people in Indonesia, The Philippines, Rural Japan, Singapore, South Korea, It makes me want to leave the states. <br>There is a difference to being lonely, and being lonely with a true community.<br><br>i didn&apos;t quite mean for this to become a rant, but seeing home so grounded and a family so tight makes me happy, but also sad for everyone in the U.S.

  Coexisting with insects and animals ❤ there&apos;s a lot of wisdom in the context of using &quot;nakikitira lang kami&quot; which translates to &quot;we&apos;re just living off in a space that isn&apos;t ours&quot;

  Wow this is truly modern pinoy architecture, absolutely gorgeous, appropriate, respectful, an amazing achievement. A masterclass in how to extend rather than replace the classics.
