A tropical home with brutalist details gets the Almario treatment

When an architect and an interior designer work together, sometimes it is a bit like tango. There needs to be communication, trust and graceful balance. The Owen House is the first structure inspired by brutalism that the Interior Designer and Director of Atelier Almario, Ivy Almario, has worked on - and the results are stunning. Black walls match the mullions of the jalousie windows effectively hiding its mechanisms. A catwalk wraps around the double volume space to give access to the windows on the second floor, releasing trapped hot air.
Interior Designer: Ivy Almario, President of ‪@AtelierAlmarioPH‬

Her enthusiasm was so refreshing! Love this video

[@designwillsavetheworld]

Yes! Agree!

[@joeymodi2328]

Love it! Best for tropical climates like the Philippines. I can imagine myself living in that house. It is so similar to our family home that was gutted for a business establishment. 😢 missing our family home. Great job, Almario's design atelier!

Dapat ganito dapat mga bahay sa Pinas kasi mainit. High ceilings , more openings and less concrete mostly light materials yun interior.

[@kuyatolitz0423]

Ito Yun project ni architect Ed, dream house ko din ganito style ng bahay Sabi nga ni sir Ed bahay na humihinga. Galing ni madam designer at ni sir Ed 👍👍

Yeah, it's giving me a true soul from a designer.

[@bwpospolyta]

Very nice. Love how you can see all the outdoor plants. Love that office

That office is beautiful!

Been thinking about tropical brutalist house. This is great ❤

[@designwillsavetheworld]

Yes! They did a great job here.

[@kalven214]

Malakas yung backround boss

[@matthewqtran1318]

Striking colors. Goes well with the outdoor/indoor plants. Would drive me nuts having to walk that entire wrap around walk way every time I wanted something from the bedrooms or lower living space.

[@designwillsavetheworld]

Wrap around catwalk is mainly for opening of windows on second floor. Other rooms are accessible without taking it. :)

[@idaniamorales6058]

OMG amazing house

[@designwillsavetheworld]

Agree!

[@able8803]

Love Almario atelier. I thought it was the "before", was waiting for the makeover. My apologies.

[@rodel2903]

I love it🎉❤

[@guglimugli]

jaw dropping design but i didn’t see any screens on those jealousie windows.. that home is gonna be a mosquito galore if there’s none! 😬

[@lutherfoust5483]

I didn't know what a "staghorn" was/is now I want one or two or three.

[@georgekhoza-bj4dc]

I wish to see more of the projects / houses featured than you chatting

[@ntg6882]

Any issue with mosquitos or other insects considering the absence of a screen on the windows?

[@TheoBorja]

The "catwalk" is just another corridor by the way...

[@gibberishboner8776]

and she hates wasting space XD

[@Paul-ch4sr]

background music is so loud, it's not background anymore lol

[@m3rra_]

Lol I saw a video whereas the architect talks about this project and I understood more than this.

[@itsjeffril]

Love these videos but the background music in this one is too loud.

[@mrartdeco]

and also weirdly arabic for a design that doesn’t even look cultural

[@gibberishboner8776]

I'm sorry but there is nothing Brutalist about about the design of this house. Just call it industrial tropical design.

[@fmmm883]

It seems you dont understand the meaning of brutalism and you just understood it as something like post war design of houses, unfinished and looking like piece of rock become a house but sadly this is what modern brutalist architecture looks like, not everything with plants and modern looking is already considered "industrial" and "tropical". This house might look different outside in its facade, in the get go but very brutalist inside.

[@gibberishboner8776]

@@fmmm883 Nope. I understand it really well. It was my thesis.

[@welcometomyhouse2876]

Why were you not chosen to do the interior of the Suites. I think you will do better justice to the property than the other guy.

[@greatzaliv993]

windows are not typhoon proof, even rain with strong wind water will penetrate.

[@designwillsavetheworld]

Modern jalousie windows can withstand category 5 hurricanes.

[@mashiroboy]

The music is too loud.

[@designwillsavetheworld]

Thank you for the feedback. May we suggest turning down the volume and turning on subtitles?

[@arnoldvales784]

OR you can simply turn down the music a few notches on your next video. I totally agree with @mashiroboy, the music, though for me was a good selection; was totally distracting and took away from an otherwise beautifully done video.

[@designwillsavetheworld]

Definitely! Will definitely do this. I only suggested above because once a video is uploaded, there’s nothing on my end I can do about anymore. But yes, for next video. Thank you so much for the feedback!

[@arnoldvales784]

Thank you! I can't wait to see what you'll show us next! I totally appreciate you all!

[@rickydinoy9746]

That music is annoying.

[@designwillsavetheworld]

Wanted to tie it in with the dance between architect and interior designer - hence the tango. But feel free to mute and turn on captions.

[@paulvanmierlo7608]

background music is very annoying

[@designwillsavetheworld]

Thank God for captions.

[@jcmodesto8219]

Sorry, I don't like the design. It's too personal. The house owner must have had an intimate relationship with his inner self.

[@hanzkins6732]

This design is common in tropical part of Australia

[@TapurokNatureFarm]

That's how houses are supposed to be, intimate and personal.
