I'm not a fan din

E may dumating pang mga bisita na may sasakyan! Nagka lecheleche na ang kalsada...

Kaya house planning and construction, magplano ng tamang garahe!

I don't mind. Eyesore na nila sa bahay nila, at least hindi naka park sa kalye. When I'm having my car paaraw, I parallel park in that portion in red para hindi sa kalye. Minsan lang naman [emoji14] I learned that from SO when I'm lazy to park my car inside their garage

Stainless kitchens can come in different options & combos. Full, semi(top & carcass) or top alone. Those in pics are full custom & non-modular. Appliances are best purchased first. Cost is always relative to size, wants, needs...pretty flexible.

Food grade SS must be expensive i guess.

I did tried the concept of raw cement sa bathroom and kitchen sa haus sa province last year. Flooring and the wall with window lang ang tiles, wall with the mirror and the back of it are raw cement with sealer.

Heater for sink and shower hidden under the sink.

Medyo di ok pag picture.

Nakakahiya magtanong hehe.

the last time i went to tondo, years ago,
i saw this house which had a city lamp post in the middle of its sala.
the owner extended his house onto the sidewalk where the lamp post was standing on.
Libreng ilaw sa gabi!

here in our barangay naman,
many of the houses had converted their garahes into living space. it's so obvious, because the gate is still there.
they park their cars outside on the road.

stainless steel is a popular material for industry, because they require very little care.
they also remind me of the horsepital morgue.
utterly lacking in soul.
heh heh.

what i like for my kitchen sink, is the old northern hill type porcelain sink with metal backing.
alas, they do not appear to make them for homes nowadays.
our current porcelain sink needs replacement, but i have resisted so, because the only affordable replacements i can get, are stainless steel.
pag stainless kasi, the room gets kinda... darker.

ngayon pandemic and sa new normaL magbabago sa taste size bahay.

Paano ka matutuwa sa townhouse na 100sqm Lote tapos 300sqm fLoor pero Limang kwarto pang hobbit. Pero meron mas worst, naawa ako sa titira sa 70sqm tapos fLoor area 180. Natawa ako sa Liit ng master bedroom. Pabagsak standard.

Pag sinabi master bedroom dapat may dining area kasama sa kwarto, may functionaL terrace(not santopapa) It wiLL be the new normaL pag WFH.

No more kaLapati homes.

my smallest house has a lot area of 66 sq.m.

pero commercial area kaya pinapa-rent ko nalang. but i designed it such that i could park one car and live in it if needed

Most of us live in Metro Manila, one of densest metropolitan areas in the world.

Houses on small lots in good areas is already a luxury for many.

Just look at the price for a townhouse in New Manila/Greenhills/Cubao

Are there really architects that allow clients to design their house and they will just draw it? I am watching a youtuber kasi, American building his house here in the PH, he was a laborer sa US, pero feeling engineer/architect

viewer: I just want to ask you guys who designed your house? Did you get an architect to design it? I know Papa Richard used to work in a construction company back here in the US. And he is the one doing some of the work.

youtuber:The design was a collaborative effort between wife and I. All we did was have architect draw up structural and electrical components. And still he messed that up and living room

wow ha! Mas magaling pa sa Architect lol

Yeah meron & most likely yung mga new ones. Ofcourse wuth the really known ones, you pay for their design.
