S1E4: Built For Only PHP800k, This Brutalist Low Cost Housing Exudes Sensuality
In the middle of a busy thoroughfare in Cavite, an unexpected brutalist housing for a corporation's employees stands in an attempt to make low cost housing sexy and sensual - affordable without compromising aesthetics or comfort. This 45sqm lot area and 62sqm floor area home cost PHP 1.1 million, a fraction of the cost of neighboring homes.

except for referrals to contractors.
According to Chan, “Finding the cheapest contractor is not the key to affordability.”

Please create more of these videos. It's refreshing to see Filipino architects and designers going beyond the usual house designs in the Philippines. Designers who articulate and embrace great philosophy and marry them with practicality and functionality.
Agree
Imagine living in this house wearing just linen shirt and cotton boxers, doing calisthenics in the morning, reading books in the afternoon, and meditate in the evening with just the sound of wind and bamboo leaves. Youd get to know yourself deeper each moment of being there. Love this.
Sounds like a pretentious way of living.
For me it doesn't sound pretentious. Some people just want to express their uniqueness or peculiarity
@@jcfm1629 i admit i sometimes pretend, but deep inside this is what i wanna do to find peace with myself. I get distracted a lot by my worldly desires. I struggle a lot to achieve this. You can label that way of life anything you want, but this is what i want for myself
You seem like an INFJ or INFP wow! Resonates with my thinking just the same. I do calisthenics!
The architect is so simple and calm. His artwork reflects his personality
I appreciate the rawness of this house and how sensible the designer is to come up with this idea. As a designer, I believe that even a budget is important when designing a home; a designer needs to know how to make the most of his available resources. In this instance, the house has a lot of personality and doesn't need to be grand to do so. The brutalist minimalist approach doesn't look heavy in the eyes and still looks homey. I appreciate how the designer tells a story through the space and knows how to use natural light. It kinda remind me of Tadao Ando at some point :)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!🙏🏻
Yes, this should be the kind of design thinking for a tropical and still a developing country like Pinas. We should move away from adopting the design styles of Western countries. We need to maximize the natural ventilation and passive cooling for our homes, minimizing our electricity costs in the long run and more sustainable for our environment. But oh well, what can we do if the market proliferates these doll houses and fully air conditioned living, in a way they are controlling our idea of what a beautiful home is. Kudos to the home owners that go against the tide!
mukhang mainit at malamok ang bahay na yan.
@@UncommonPH hi may I have the architect's and contractor's contacts tia
Can i get the cintractors contact nos?
Ganito gusto kong bahay. Walang pretentiousness, walang unecessary structures at di nilalabanan ang PH weather. Leaning toward eco-brutalism na sya which gives the space the much needed warmth.
I am a fan of Design Seed, Never Too Small but finally, a concept or content for Filipino viewers is here in the Philippines. I can live in a home as bare as that, but my concern is the moisture from its walls, but I presume the architect and the designer of the house has a solution for that type of aesthetics.
same huhuhu
the concrete edges specially of the stairs would also likely to chip in about a year, people should stop promoting aesthetics without practicality
Been following those two channels also. I see your concern. I also thought of the openness of the house because it always rains in the Philippines. Especially the open bathroom. I would want the option to have it closed or open depending on the weather.
Same!! I love design seed!! Now this!! Same feels
I guess the open bathroom is fine since you'll also get wet when taking a bath. Hehehe. But seriously, it is still ok with me to feel a different vibe, because ever since my whole life I am using a traditional enclosed T&B. Kaya lang, on "Ber" months it will surely feel much colder lalo na pag mahangin pa.
The design of the house gives you the feeling of pleasure and contentment. Wherein the architecture arouses your senses and induces a state of serenity and comfort.
How every home should be. Thank you, Misha!
Well done! Simplicity at its best. Congratulations to the home owner. I love what the designer said about spaces that the right size for its use is the best and anything bigger is an excess and diminishes the impact of the space. Very true.
This is one of the most breathtaking housing structures that I've seen in KZhead that is small, affordable yet visually stunning.
Finally! A Never Too Small / The Local Project version in our country. Thank you for this work of art.
This is and excellent build. Low cost, yet everything looks really functional. It looks like a blank canvas, which allows the owner to put their own personal touch. I really love this design.
I'm in love with this design and it made me interested to read the book too. I agree that what is natural is imperfect.
I appreciate the rawness of how this house was built. Its very inspiring to be able to dream that having functional low cost home is possible
this is what i have been looking for. low cost housing yet does not compromise aesthetics. it's good to watch this video as i am given an idea on the kind of house where my family can live and turn into a home. i hope you can build one for a family of five. 😊 More power to you and may you have many more projects to, especially, build for the average wage earner. 😊
i can feel the calmness of this house. a sense of serenity that once you step inside you can forget all the outside worries of this chaotic world. i pray that someday we could have one.
Minimalist is calm
But looks creepy at times
Great work!!! Look forward to seeing more of this.
praying for more of this type of housing. its affordable and yet has identity unlike the usual, unimaginative designs we have now.
I love the simplicity which gives it a stillness that is incredibly calming.
Wow! This is such a blessing to people. A low cost designer house. We need more ideas/initiatives likes this in our country. Side note: I love the CR!
We couldn’t agree more! Thank you!
How to contact uncommon for a project.
@@UncommonPH who is the architect ?
Pano po kayo mkontak po?@@UncommonPH
love the minimalist concept . The tranquility is a home itself. love it
It looks like art. It will be interesting to see a follow-up after a year or more of living in a unit: furnished & with normal day-to-day impact, e.g. a fold-up clothes dryer in the garden :)
true haha im sure all the wabi sabi concept will be gone haha
more like this please! as a student who admire to have a lovely home in the future, this is very soothing to watch for me; seeing how lovely and elegant this house looks with a budget of below million is just 🔥.
Damn that house speaks to me. Really love the brutal, minimal and industrial design. Subbed!
Perfectly raw and simple. So beautiful!! 😍
I like the classic minimalist feel of it. Very raw and natural ❤
beautiful! solving the problem without compromising aesthetics!
The rawness of it has becomes the art in itself. No need for more. Magnificent!
This is an amazing project! 👏
Beautiful! This definitely ignited my creativity. Thank you
the impact of this design is functional, moving, sensual, minimal, clean, airy, naturale, and beast mode. love it. hope I see more from this architectural design and roofing
this is a nice minimalist style of housing but nothing like a family home, this is just sooo raw and neat.
I'm glad I found this channel. Thanks for sharing this. The owner of the house talks about loving ownership and location, but doesn't say that he loves the house. In the next episode, you should show what became of a house that may not have asked people what they want or how they live. It might surprise you. At the very least, it will surely be brightly painted and partitioned for 4-5 kids, assuming they survive the stairs. I imagine this is better than "low cost" options, but developers can still do better.
Wow! Kudos for building houses like this. More please!
I love the house, I love the style, the simplicity, the feelings I felt by just watching it is so good. It's my dream also to have a house like this, hope someday I'll be like Kuya in the video. Congratulations Po. Thank you for sharing this video💞
Wow! This is a house I could actually afford and the minimalist design is relaxing to me. I like bamboos and that just made this made it look more serene.😊
This low-cost housing looks elegant and serene! Feels comfy and doesnt feel low-cost at all! Truly the house is sexy!
Architecture is a master craft and the Architect is a craftsman of a high order. Well done.
Ang ganda! it has calming effect maybe because of the simple design and the bamboo trees...love the big glass window....reminds me of the cozy japanese houses.
I simply Love and am overwhelmed by the simple yet elegant architectural design of this place. I am looking for something like this since I am in the process of having my own house for me, my 2 kids and 3 pet furbabies. ;)
Love the design. Especially how it integrates nature in the home.
Nice I hope this channel becomes like the Filipino version of Design Seed. More power!!!
Gad grabe the aunthenticitt of the simple design but made very elegant. And can I just say? What a gem to have found this youtube page. Highly classy! Cant wait for more!
so beautiful, open space is very calming and relaxing with the sounds of the bamboo trees. want to build a house design like this one.
Simple not simplistic. Let’s claim it to existence.
Great to find this channel. Keep creating this videos!
Thank you for this and more power!
Hoping to see more work of our very own architects. This could also promotes bachelors and building new family a home that can provide comfort and success!
Yes. I agree, hoping to see more licensed professionals such as architects showcasing their work. So people in this country will be encouraged to get their services than those internet designers. Dami magagaling sa kanila, especially yung mga low profile, small time architects pero hinde lang nabibigyan ng chance because of illegal practitioners.
"Simplicity" which gives birth to beauty and strength with characteristics that cannot be described carelessly.
I’m in love with the design.❤️
Panalo! Simple, elegant, well thought of, and dignified.
Very true!
Wow! Super love the design Sir Carlson!
The people involved in this design of house is brilliant, not only the cost of house lower but affordable...
That designer is world class - as good of a philosophy I've come across anywhere. Salamat po!
The design gives a serene and elegant vibes... i love each detail....❤
Amazing. The space created is so serene. I hope to see more ...
ang ganda nito! agree on the idea that low cost doesn't need to look cheap.
I love this simple design.
The design for me is sooooo refreshing. Feels like you can be yourself.
Awesome work on this one! Low cost housing can be sexy 🙌🏻
It sure can!
I like the house it's so cool. Cheap affordable and its very modern. Very good design. Peaceful,relaxing and feel the nature. Thank you for your ideas. Very appreciate. God bless
love the zen feeling of this house
This is just gorgeous!
very nice video, please do more. this is a good idea.
nung nakita ko ung brutalist design, naisip ko agad na match siya sa personality ko, and minimalist lifestyle.
Nature is perfectly imperfect.
Although this is not new, it is quite prominent outside our country. But I love seeing it here; we're breaking the usual "Filipino house" architecture. I'd love to see more inspiring videos like this. Thank you!
Ive been thinking of a minimalist/ low cost industrial design/ layout and this is also exactly what i have in my mind. This is inspiring.❤
ang ganda!!! the design, its so simple yet calm & pleasing to eyes. But the over all functionality is not for everyone
Aaah thank you. I’m taking this as a sign. Wabi-sabi. 💛
This made me fall to a brutalist design loved this! 😍
Thank you for the English subtitles.
This is a beautiful home, I like what the man said, no space is wasted.
I love the concept and the design.
I love the concept. Superb job done. Hope i can get you as a design and build on our dream house someday. 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Brutalism is my fave design, i know it five years ago so its nice that it’s gaining recognition.
Great incorporation of the Wabi Sabi philosophy as I have seen it applied with people living with dementia. Curious what the average indoor temperature during the monsoon and dry seasons in the Philippines. I appreciate the emphasis on keeping the space simple without clutter of decorative nonsense.
Because of this, I'M SUBSCRIBING!
with the bamboo!! looks cozy!! and the simple design feels comfortable !!! galing talaga!!! 💯🙌🏻👍🏻😊😌😌😌
I like this, hopefully the owners will enjoy and improve the space as they lived here.
This is amazing! Big fan of Tadao Ando here!
Wow the “Lokal Project”! ❤
This kinda concrete fair finishing house construction was my dream. Thanks for made really
The CR for the win! No need for an exhaust fan. Very spartan and love the use of plants and greens. And Beats the hell out of Metro Manila condo living in many ways, especially value. Great job!
Very great Idea, salute sa architecture ng bahay na 'yan. Napaka challenging nga naman talaga para sa mga Architect mag design ng bahay na lowcost. Kasi nag sticked sila sa High cost para mapaganda ang bahay. Bakit di nga naman lowcost. Galing. Napaka ganda, napaka simple pa ng design, lighting lighting lang panalo na. 😁
I felt na grabe yung wisdom ni sir Carlson!
Designs simple but beautiful
The aesthetic is superb.
I love this!
love it. simple and cozy. would love to build something like this.
Added to favorites instantly!
Love the unit design.
A home at peace, beautiful simplicity design ❤
Very nice ambiance modern to classic ang design
Concrete done with precision and finesse is very aesthetic.
Solid content!!
i love how soft spoken the designer is
I like how straight to the point their theme in this House, I might not be a fan of this style but I am really attracted more on its simplicity and serenity not knowing of any noise surrounds the area, perhaps the idea of living at peace and less materials things
Glad I stumbled upon this yt channel. Been wondering if we have a similar channel as Design Seed in Malaysia. Keep it up!
This is so my style...but single detached it should be. Love this!
Very beautiful, problem is finding the right people to help you build this kind of home at affordable price
I will live here all day. Dream materials. Bali-vibe. Happy to see this kind of housing immersion in PH 🎉
