Intriguing Neo Brutalist home was built to look like a sculpture you can live in

Designed to be a family's staycation home in Batangas City, Casa Borbon can also cater to two separate groups as an Airbnb rental. Its neo brutalist structure was designed by architect Amon Cali of Cali Architects who is heavily influenced by the likes of architecture greats such as Le Corbusier, Tadao Ando and Leandro Locsin. The house has a 150 sqm footprint and features a pool and a viewing deck of the mountains to the north.
Principal and Founder of Cali Architects, Cali thinks that brutalist structures work in our country because the use of large overhangs and cantilevers help keep out the harsh sun and heat out, while the concrete's texture looks great against the tropical landscape.

Thanks for the feature Jar! And thanks for educating people about the relevance of good design.

[@justwatching6838]

I love Brutalist designs, and I thought PH Architects doesnt offer this kind of design nowadays, and just saw this! Wow!!!! What a lovely house!

[@schiatzeschiatze5002]

don’t offer not doesn’t. Subject -verb agreement.

[@frankjames7272]

​@@schiatzeschiatze5002 whatever! 🙄

[@k-studio8112]

Because it's not ideal at all. Look at the design of NAIA compared to the other airports in China for example.

[@offtothenextstop7441]

beautiful and inspiring design!

[@allyh4844]

I’m an aspiring architect and I think this concept is really really nice. It blended nicely with surroundings/environment. It’s like an abandoned building that was taken back by nature and just like what he said, “making it as if it’s a living rock,”. Kudos!!!🎉

[@robertboggus9182]

This video is giving the local project vibes.

[@delbertfradejas6443]

That’s structure is beautiful. I’m amazed.

This is a very impressive project from a very talented young architect. Bravo!

[@baronessaong8830]

Stayed here for couple of days and the architectural aspect is amazing!!!! Will definitely go back here. Everything was very well thought of even the plates and bowls!

[@designwillsavetheworld]

So nice that you got to stay there!

[@designbyodo]

The House is amazing. I like the funiture too.

[@benazirsarmiento]

This is exactly what i want to build at our beach property. Modern, industrial look but elegant most esp low maintenance. Since i live in the US full time.

[@user-wz9nm1pq8c]

To me, you are one of the best young architects in the Philippines!!!

[@PamDubier]

This is stunning.

Ganda talaga ng brutalist di nakakasawa tingnan

[@donniebrasco99]

Very impressive young architect. Masterful work. Drew and Iya Arellano should have gotten him for their house design. I think this was the kind of design they had in mind.

[@marieson7418]

Ang astig!!!

[@jeffdivina60]

ang ganda

[@spellblade6060]

I am not a big fan of brutalist architecture, but this one looks good. Specially in that environment. I specifically like the design of the bathroom, it gives of a post apocalyptic look, where nature has started to reclaim itself.

[@dementedchris]

It’s amazing how you did all that in 150 sq m.

[@caliresidences1857]

🖤🖤🖤

[@cynthiaestrada8318]

Ganda. Integrity of materials, minimal decor. Rain water harvest? Solar power?

[@deusx.machinaanime.3072]

Cement/Concrete begins to degrades from day-1. After 10 to 20 years cracks may appear. The degradation is minimised with proper long lasting wall paint. Sealing the roof is also recommended. The new concrete mixed with limestone that was perfected in Japan and Italy is a self-healing concrete. Research this for more info.

[@b.delacruz5345]

I like the overall look but the tight angles around the tub at 6:15 must be a "joy" to clean. Highly respect the cleaners who will be maintaining this lovely space.

I just uploaded a video about brutalist architecture in Brussels

[@ytrpaz]

maganda talaga kapag brutalism.

[@drunkpekka4284]

The interior is interesting, but the exterior is cold. I'm also wondering how cool the building will be during the summer considering the lack of windows overhang and I don't see all the windows under a cantilever. If this is the kind of building the clients want to live, then it is "good design" and kudos to them.

[@Christian___]

What age is Cali?

[@jcmodesto8219]

With Pinoys instinctively known as common designs, as well as the market's influential product availability, many will find this awful, out-of-touch and bizarre. I hope this generation and the ones that are coming will find this design with an open mind and willing to bank on its functionality, aesthetics and uniqueness.

[@diegoalcantaras5580]

brutalist means it needs to be hulking and dark kasi it evokes uneasy feelings, this is too small and light in color to be brutalist. perhaps they called it that since it has raw concrete walls but id argue its more industrial in design

[@user-zx2ip8lp9y]

it's more of brutalism tho.... to way from industrial touch... 😆
