What a beautiful home with beautiful nature. This is my kind of dream home.

[@noahlapuz3853]

Love the fact that the owner asked the house what it wanted to become.

[@StackedHomes]

That's such a unique approach! Listening to the house and surroundings. ❤️

[@gailonthemove]

I loved this

[@jacQ4555]

So many aspects of our lives has been “westernised” & “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.

[@StackedHomes]

Beautifully said! Embracing our roots truly enriches our lives.

[@iamkevkev]

This house deserves an award

[@StackedHomes]

It really does

[@lanlam2114]

I think the same, because it is so cost effective!

[@PercivalOropesa]

WooW wish to have that house too close to nature a simple life ❤

Most ancient people deserve a modern award. We have lost our ways, the natural way to live.

[@chrispabs]

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.

[@StackedHomes]

Well said! Honoring the land and creating a soulful space-it's inspiring to see!

[@Josh-d2m]

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.

[@StackedHomes]

Well said, blending modern touches with classic elements really makes it stand out! A thoughtful nod to tradition. 😊

[@Ustazgay]

I'm Indonesian but looking at this also makes me feel at home. the design is undeniably it's own thing, not trying to be Japanese which is the usual thing people go for when trying to be "close to nature". it uses humble materials but the design is intentional. I hope this style becomes a trend like Zen & Scandinavian

[@runway5338]

@@Ustazgay yes, tropical homes are kind of underrated when it comes to “close-to-nature” / “grounded” living. Especially SEA style homes. The traditional architecture can be so beautiful and work well with the landscape when given a chance

[@matjam8305]

Tha main issue is bugs - mosquitos. I live in a similar latitude and there is no way I could be outside before 6am or after 6pm. In a short video looks nice but day in day out except during a short period every year would be difficult to endure. I am planning on building a home soon near the coast of bay of Bengal and while I will incorporate similar ideas using concrete and thatched roof there will be sliding wall systems to shut out the living areas when required.

[@VanessaMartinez-dn5sj]

What a dream house they built, respecting nature, a real architect that understands life

[@StackedHomes]

So true-it's rare to see design so deeply in tune with nature.

[@jackiefernandez6083]

Coexisting with insects and animals ❤ there's a lot of wisdom in the context of using "nakikitira lang kami" which translates to "we're just living off in a space that isn't ours"

[@StackedHomes]

So true! It's beautifully said and embodied 😊

[@aosaeanor]

Worry would be Mosquitoes , poisonous snakes , scorpions & such .

[@serenayflamenca]

@@aosaeanorespecially with a child. Those were my practical questions as well.

[@TheMaggietron]

I didn't think I'd cry over a house tour, but I guess there's a first time for everything. I hope to work with Arch on my dream beach house someday.

[@StackedHomes]

That’s a powerful reaction-must be a truly special design! Here’s hoping your beach house vision becomes a reality. 😊

[@vincentjosephcesista7497]

Justin is an incredibly talented architect and remarkably humble. He is also blessed with a beautiful family-Sarah and Janu. Wishing you many more projects in the future so that you can continue sharing your talents with others, Arch!

Justin's talent and humility shine through. Best wishes to him and his lovely family indeed! 😊

[@StackedHomes]

We're glad we managed to bring that out of the home!

[@veilsnzills]

You live the dharma in your everyday life. Fate will be kind to your family. This mindfulness will bring in bliss and positivity into your home. However, the best thing I got from this video is the value of co-existence that you teach to your son. He will grow up grounded in humility and experience life deeply connected to nature. A house of beauty and minimalism!

[@StackedHomes]

Beautifully said! Mindfulness and values truly enrich a home and family :)

[@3ANW888]

🙏✨

[@anywayanyhow]

This house is like a dream! It must be great to hear the sound of nature everytime. Just have some concerns 1. Are those molds? 2. If one of them gets struck by illness, malayo sa hospital 3. Once the kid needs to go to school, it will change the dynamics unless homeschooled? (Yes, i thought that far) 4. Dengue 5. Bagyo. Pero sabagay, naka enclosed naman gamit nila sa rooms. Di rin siguro sila babahain. 6. Sustainable living. 8. Community for the kid

[@TheStarBlack]

Community for the kid was my first thought. During their early years kids are happy to only be with their parents. But as they get older they will experience terrible loneliness without other kids to play with.

[@maricelagustin8458]

This is by far the best home I saw on KZbin that is suitable in a tropical climate.

[@StackedHomes]

Absolutely! It's perfect for the Philippines.

[@medeiapsyche]

because they used building techniques and materials that our ancestors have used for thousands of years

[@Josh-d2m]

But I don't want to be the one cooking during typhoon 🤣🤣

[@vanrey-mh2mi]

This house is so insane holy its unreal how beautiful it is.

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@AngelOnEarth0614]

Love your house. I too left the metropolis and moved closer to nature right beside the waters. Im living my best and healthiest life ever. God bless you and your family ❤

[@StackedHomes]

Sounds like a wonderful choice-nature and water bring such peace. Wishing you continued happiness in your beautiful environment! ❤

[@SirFranzJosef]

This changed my view on design and architecture. It's like its own genre in design making. ❤❤❤

[@StackedHomes]

I guess you can call it traditional Filipino home aesthetic 😄

[@SirFranzJosef]

That's the term Im looking for. It's modern but still feels like traditional. In fact it has brutalist elements mixed with a very open layout which is not common in traditional builds.

[@Onch0912]

Maybe it's just me but watching the video makes me so emotional. For all the right reasons of course. It's just the built composition is so well thought and Justin spoke to the place, the house, and anything in between to ensure there's harmony and unity between the dwellers and the surroundings. Isn't that lovely?

[@naturenature3573]

After seeing this , I am so inspired to go back to my village n have such a home

[@StackedHomes]

That’s wonderful to hear! 😊

[@LegumesEtFleurs]

This is the most beautiful house I have ever seen in my life. A modern bahay-kubo, simple minimalist yet you have the modernity you also need.

[@StackedHomes]

It’s such a great blend of simplicity and modernity, capturing the essence of a contemporary bahay-kubo perfectly!

[@christopherlorenzo6026]

“Nakikitira lang kami.” ❤

[@noahlapuz3853]

powerful message!

[@ESHaoranile2531]

As an architect I Love the open plan & uses of filipino indegenous materials. My main concerns: the lifespan of organic materials & the infiltration of mosquitoes, termites & insects.

[@StackedHomes]

Absolutely, blending indigenous materials with modern design is inspiring!

[@yamacultage]

I wonder, how domestic animals may help with small and medium-sized insects (and probably snakes, as well). some walls are concrete, so termites should show no interest in them, others may be treated or cured with primers… Also, locals usually seem unbothered with them at all… But that is a good point and it would be interesting to know how these concerns were addressed

[@josephine5887]

​@@yamacultagewhen i was small we are living in the farm and there are so many trees around us also we are sorrounded by small forest but no snakes or insects came to the house as long we cleaned it up daily..The snake will not come when the house is crowded and alive..That is my experienced

[@josephine5887]

​@@yamacultageabiut the wood before we used it we out chemicals for termites it stand atleast 20yrs or can use wood paint so no termites

[@mariannewolf57]

This home has a big soul and respect for nature. Stunning!

[@StackedHomes]

Beautifully said, the connection to nature is truly inspiring! 😊

[@freezycurly]

This brought me to tears almost immediately. Thank you for sharing this vision of what feels like such meaningful life and experience 🙏🏾

[@richiereyes6478]

This is by far the best house I have seen in my entire life! A combination of modern and ancient architecture built in a perfect place where lush vegetation meets the blue sky. Such a wonderful place to be in. This house deserves a worldwide recognition for its simplicity yet intriguing artwork. 💕

[@StackedHomes]

That’s a beautiful way to express your admiration! It’s great to see spaces that evoke such strong feelings! 😊

[@msmaitatoy]

Love this home. I read in the comments that many felt emotional about it. I totally get that. We live the trauma from numerous typhoons and natural calamities that could be prevented. Imagine the frustration. And here we see a placid, pro-active creation from the architect and his family who listens to nature, respects it, is grateful to it for giving them permission to live in its bounty. This is THE good life. Well done and God bless.

[@StackedHomes]

Beautifully said. This home feels like a true testament to balance-living harmoniously with nature and appreciating its gifts.

[@StackedHomes]

It must feel truly refreshing to start each day that way.

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

This is now the second video I've watched featuring Justin, (I first saw the one he did on the cinema he built), and he has such a way of putting together content, (music, shots, and narration), that is so calming and relaxing. It feels meditative. Such a beautiful and peaceful feeling home that he's built for himself and his family. It was interesting to hear him speak about how he sometimes waited for the house to inform him of how it should be built. I do wonder though, (my western mentality coming through), with such an open space how secure is it when they're not home or if they decide to travel.

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Justin's approach really brings out the serene essence of the home. 😊

[@Yz_lim]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@astralblizzard89]

God Bless this family, they win me for loving the animals

[@StackedHomes]

Building your own log home sounds incredible! There's something special about embracing natural elements and feeling connected to them in your living space. 😊

[@acryllo1337]

Just by watching this video, it's like I can smell the wet nipa, wood, breeze, wet soil, etc. It's like it's taking me back to my grandmother's house. The nostalgic feeling, and simplicity of living off the grid. Sana makagawa din ako ng ganito in the near future. Balak ko sa probinsya ng lola ko sa Mindanao.

[@StackedHomes]

That’s a beautiful sentiment! It’s amazing how design can evoke such powerful memories 😊

[@vicmarqzp7969]
