I am dreaming of my very own beautiful bahay kubo, I am thoroughly convinced that despite the practicality of concrete houses, the bahay kubo is still the most charming, heartwarming, organic and simply the best house adapted to tropical living. It only looks more rustic over time, not run-down, invites great insulation and ventilation. Plus the materials are sustainable, readily available and relatively inexpensive.
I can only imagine wrapping myself in a thick blanket with the aircon on full blast and waking up to the wonderful bounty of nature. Or the glorious view of the sea.
One day soon, mine, you will be.
