Two Storey House in Pangasinan

Are there any advantages of having a two storey house? Of course there are. Two storey houses offer a lot of advantages. To name a few, it provide privacy to your bedrooms. It also gives you a grandeur look in the outside; and most of all they are a cost effective way to maximize your lot.

Here at Dream house design Philippines, we recognize that having a spacious home with plenty of rooms to move is as important as it may sound. This is usually the case in every family that builds or wants to buy a two storey house.

For this reason, I have the privilege to make one in my project lately that soon to rise in Pangasinan, Philippines. Although the land has existing one storey house but the owner wants to maximize his lot and so he decided to build another two storey house next to his old one storey house which will soon be converted into a guest house.

Three-Storey Modern House.

Modern architecture is generally characterized by simplification of form and an absence of applied decoration. Some of the Common themes or elements of modern architecture include: the notion that "Form follows function", a dictum originally expressed by Frank Lloyd Wright's early mentor Louis Sullivan, meaning that the result of design should derive directly from its purpose, simplicity and clarity of forms and elimination of "unnecessary detail", visual expression of structure (as opposed to the hiding of structural elements), the related concept of "Truth to materials", meaning that the true nature or natural appearance of a material ought to be seen rather than concealed or altered to represent something else, use of industrially-produced materials; adoption of the machine aesthetic, particularly in International Style modernism, a visual emphasis on horizontal and vertical lines.

Source: Wikipedia

Based from the above mentioned elements of modern architecture, I created one house design that will somehow inspire in choosing and searching your own dream modern house design. I am hopeful that you’ll like it. As to the best of my knowledge and understanding, modern house design that is based on what was explained above and described in Wikipedia possesses with simple character yet its beauty is visible within the clarity of structures. 

This three story Modern house that I did have the following spaces in the ground floor: garage, living, dining, kitchen, bathroom and staircase that makes it a simple and common house.  It has also a swimming pool at the back which unfortunately not visible in this design. In the second floor area has a Master's bedroom with toilet and bath, two standard size bedrooms sharing a common bathroom plus of course the balcony. The third floor is for the multi-purpose hall with an open area as roof deck.

Here's another scheme.

Post Modern House-2 (updates)

Friends, did you still remember my old post entitled Post modern house-2 , modern living room, modern dining and kitchen design combine, and the living room christmas decoration? I hope you still remember those great post of mine (aheem!!!) and I hope you like them too. Kidding aside, actually they are in one roof; I mean they are all in one house. I just post it individually before and now I decided to show it all in one post. 
Drum roll please!!! For those of you who are looking for an inspiration of post-modern house, modern living room, modern dining and kitchen room in the Philippines here's my simple and practical design that might inspire you or something of that nature.

If we will recall that postmodern architecture began as an international style the first examples of which are generally cited as being from the 1950s, but did not become a style until the late 1970s and continues to influence present-day architecture. Post modernity in architecture is said to be heralded by the return of "wit, ornament and reference" to architecture in response to the formalism of the International Style of modernism. As with many cultural fashions, some of Postmodernism's most pronounced and visible ideas can be seen in architecture. The functional and formalized shapes and spaces of the modernist style are replaced by diverse aesthetics: styles collide, form is adopted for its own sake, and new ways of viewing familiar styles and space abound. Perhaps most obviously, architects rediscovered the expressive and symbolic value of architectural elements and forms that had evolved through centuries of building which had been abandoned by the modern style.

And this is for you my friend.

Boy's Room

Do you have a son or a teenager boy who keeps on asking you to provide him a separate room that he can call his own?  Your son is growing up so fast, right? And he is asking little by little for his independence. Now he might be asking you already for his own bedroom apart from his siblings.

Well, designing a bedroom for your boy's is not really as hard as it may seems. The very obvious thing to do in designing your boy's room is to ask him what he really want, and know what his hobbies are. Involve your son in the design process; in the first place it is his room. I'm sure your son had already in his mind the room he always wanted. A computer desktop for his school works and research, a flat screen TV with that entire game console or a play station, maybe. He might also want a sofa with a center table in his bedroom.

Given those items and furniture I have mention do you think it will all fit in one regular size room? Maybe you will think it's impossible, it might need a bigger room for that kind of room. It's seems like a master bedroom suite already without those walk-in closet and bathroom.  Well, I think you have to consider this boy's room that I did. See for yourself and decide.

Actually, this is neither my idea nor my designs. I got this idea of a room from Evermotion website. Evermotion is a 3d visualization hub for worlwide designers, architects, interior designers and 3d artist. I just add some elements and features to enhance this boy's room.

Elevated House Design 2

Folks, are you planning to build or construct your own dream house soon?  Next year or in the coming future?  Or just plain curious about how to start making your dream house come true?  Then, you have browsed just the right page.

Yes!  Level up to a three-story elevated house.  You may have just been waiting for this second design to perfectly suit your requirement for a flood-free elevated house, while offering a spectacular view.  Obviously, there's no such thing as an absolute flood -free design.  Available designs have been made only to minimize the impact of floods, typhoons, and incessant rains in the Philippines.

So what’s new with this second design?  This design is as interesting as the first one, except for the additional floor which gives your family an elevated protection.  Take a closer look at the additional space in this design, yet in a relatively inexpensive manner. You now have two options to choose from. It's up to you to decide. The first one has only two levels above the ground while this one has three floors. The next obvious difference is the height of the first level from the ground line. The first design has 2.25 meters in height from the ground to the first level while the second one is only 1.65 meters high. These choices must give you more freedom to complement your design with the chosen location. Anyway, the real difference lies in your taste, preference, and your budget. You may think that your area is not in the flood danger zone but think with me, it is always wise to be on the defensive mode in protecting your property or business and of course your family.

Philippine Flood-Proof Elevated House Design

Is your house located within or near the flood danger zone (refer to http://www.nababaha.com/)?  Was your house badly devastated by the recent floods in the Philippines due to the heavy rains caused by the southwest monsoon (habagat) that lasted for several days?  Or have you moved on from the loss of a loved one from typhoons Ketsana (Ondoy) and Washi (Sendong)?  The loss of lives and properties due to climate change is, indeed, alarming.  If you are currently planning for house or building construction or reconstruction in an area prone to flooding, consider this elevated house design which reduces the impact of flooding and hopefully alleviates financial costs.

Emotionally stunned at the catastrophic damages by the recent typhoons and floods that have brought to my Motherland, I, as a Filipino architect, have come up with a practical, cost-effective, and sustainable design in protecting Filipino homes from the adverse effects of floods.  Even if the chosen location to construct your house may seem to be flood-free, it is always wise to be on the defensive mode in protecting your family. You’ve got to see my design which I call the “Philippine Flood-Proof Elevated House Design”.

Interior Color Design

The greatest challenge in color design is to be able to predict and control the result of a color scheme. Effective color selection can be an inexpensive yet powerful element in any design. Color can perform a multitude of roles and can affect a person's emotions, energy level, and sense of order, or disorder. As well, it can set the tone of an interior and make it seem formal or informal, masculine or feminine, cooly aloof or invitingly warm. The aim of successful interior color design is to be able to control these effects through the masterful use of color as a design tool itself.

Some client ask their designer what is the right color for them. Well, that is a good question indeed. To answer that question let me share with you the interview of Ms. Erin Cecille Langan (design director of DWP) which is done by sigma paints. DWP (Design Worldwide Partnership) is an interior design and architectural practice with 12 offices and over 450 staff located in the middle east and Asia.

 What is the right color for me?
I believe the right color is the color that brings you the most happiness. There is no right or wrong choice. Whatever one feels most drawn to or intuitively inspired by is "right". Color, as with creativity, should have few rules and one should consider it an area for vast exploration.
What are the tools used to define the right color for my environment?
As a design director for DWP,I rely heavily on the natural environment where my project is located. I often take stones, sand, leaves and shells to obtain a computer paint match that creates a soothing interiors color for wherever the project might be located in the world.
How important is color in interior design?
There have been many studies especially with regards to healthcare interiors, that indicate color and the environment make a great impact on the time it takes a person to heal. DWP is working in the healthcare market to bring softer, warmer hues to hospitals and clinic with a residential feel.

What are the main psychological effects of color?
In interior design, color is used to specific purposes depending on the setting. When DWP does restaurant design, we rely heavily on reds, and oranges as they create more energy and sense of urgency allowing the restaurant owner a higher table turn for their setting groups. Likewise, spa design often tends to a cooler palette of blues and greens as this direction encourages peace and relaxation.
What are the main physiological effects of color?
There is a vast array of studies that have been done on this topic. One example is how color impact moods, feelings, and behaviours, by Kendra Cherry, several ancient cultures, including the Egyptians and Chinese, practice chromotheraphy, or using colors to heal. Chromotheraphy is sometimes referred to as light therapy or colourology  and still used today as a holistic or alternative treatment. In this treatment:
Red was used to stimulate the body and mind and to increase circulation.
Yellow was thought to stimulate the nerves and purify the body.
Orange was used to heal the lungs and to increase energy levels.
Blue was believed to soothe illnesses and treat pain.
Indigo shades were thought to alleviate skin problems.

How can different colors affect your mood?
Studies have shown that this varies from person to person. It can also be influenced by regional or historical factors. The colors that remind you of a happy memory or have an emotional appeal from your home country can be elevating for the mood.
How can different paint colors affect a person's mental state and his reaction to different situations?
Given that paint is usually the dominant finish in the person's environment, it is a large part of our everyday lives. Taking the time to understand which colors will promote positive and peaceful feelings in one's home and work environment can create a more peaceful and harmonious society.
How can different colors affect our health in a positive way?
Colors that brings one joy will decrease stress and anxiety. The places that we spend the most amount of time should reflect the color palettes that enhances a positive feeling when we are surrounded by them.
How can we define color as per the functional area of our environment?
As an Interior designer, color is often used to cue clients to circulation paths, hierarchy of space, featured walls, and identity areas of importance. It can shape a space simply by creating areas of focus that either grab our attention or allow certain areas to pass unnoticed.

Vacation House

When I was in my younger days, I used to dream a lot and one of which is to have a vacation house. I remembered my family used to travel to Bohol (one of the beautiful places in the Philippines) during holidays and spent time with our relatives. One night, I stayed outside of the house sitting on the rock enjoying the cool breeze of the night while viewing the beautiful landscape facing the ocean.  An idea pop up in my mind saying “what if I build a vacation house in this place with a swimming pool”.  This could be the best place where my family and relatives could have fun and share quality time together. . It was really fun thinking of that dream. Of course, it ended up with a smile while walking back home for a dinner.

I am now in my thirties and I’ll keep on dreaming again and again.  I don’t mind when such dream would be realized as I believed that dream is a God’s blessing and seedlings of our reality.

To keep visualizing my dream house, I sketch a design of a house which for me suitable to my dream vacation house. Below is the perspective of the vacation house.

 I think those series of day dreaming I had at a young age was never been a waste of time. In fact it was a visual aid to what I really want to have in the near future.

Friends, I am not an expert, but I believe that it is indeed necessary for all of us, both young and old to keep dreaming, believing in our dream, and put our dream into action.

I even start to understand that every great leader and successful people from the dawn of civilization down to the present was a dreamer who puts their dreams into action. 

Let us not forget, Columbus who dreamed of an unknown world staked his life on the existence of such a world, and discovered it. Henry Ford, a poor and uneducated, dreamed of a horseless carriage, went to work with what tools he possessed, without waiting for opportunity to favor him, and now evidence of his dream belts the entire earth. Thomas Edison dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity, began where he stood to put his dream into action and despite more than ten thousand failures, he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality. The Wright brothers dreamed of a machine that would fly through the air. Now one may see evidence all over the world that they dreamed soundly. Practical dreamers do not quit.

“The greatest achievements were, at first and for a time, but a dream.”

So long fellows, together we say it out loud with conviction,

In God’s name I will live my dreams. 

Living the dream,

Living - Dining Room

Hi there! Allow me to share some interior design today. I call it living - dining room. Although, it is really not my design. It is the design of my colleague in the office. My participation in this project was to make the 3d visualization. This apartment interior design is supposed to be build somewhere in Europe, but you can used this as well as your interior design concept in the Philippines.

As you have noticed the design of this interior living- dining room is modern and international. I mean you can used this design concept where ever you maybe. Nowadays, designers all over the world have something in common. Through the help of the internet architects and interior designers learned from each other in just a click away from their computer.

By the way here's the 3d visualization that I make for this living- dining interior design, hope you will like it.

Again, this might neither be the very best house design nor the best online interior design you can see in the Philippines but if you could only borrow the eyes of the owner, you will see what we are talking about Folks, Every house is a dream come true. First it starts in our thoughts, in our mind, or in our dreams, then it manifest. Now folks, are you living your dream house? The answer lies deep with in you. Keep believing in your dreams. Keep dreaming, because our dreams are the seedling of our reality.

Remember this verse from the Holy book my dear friends,

" With God all things are possible " (Mat. 19:26).

So long fellows, together we say it out loud with conviction,

In God’s name I will live my dreams.
