Block House
2-Storey Residence with attic level
Location: Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines
Status: Contract Tender Stage
Inspired by the fundamentals of block building, the architecture is conceived by the thoughtful placement of volumes stacking and shifting upon one another. This results in creating a dynamic composition of volumes and a bold spatial depth to the façade.
The main level comprises 3 distinct blocks: At front is the steel-faced garage block; The glass block at north is an open social area for the living and dining space. It is transparent to the perimeter garden at three sides; A service block at the south encloses the kitchen, pantry and powder room.
The second level is a private level consisting of two blocks: White block at front is the master bedroom and bathroom and a spacious walk-in-closet. The grey block behind is composed of three bedrooms with bathrooms.
A meditation-study block finishes off the last level. This particular area is a a space for relaxation, recreation and contemplation which also spills to an open deck area.
