Filipino Stilt House with Panoramic Views | PK House
PK House draws inspiration from the traditional Filipino stilt house known as 'Bahay Kubo'. This architectural concept, rooted in Filipino culture, features a raised dwelling supported by wooden stilts, with a lower space called 'Silong' serving as a utility area for storage and ventilation.
The main living area occupies the elevated space, providing flexibility for living and sleeping arrangements, and is crowned by a thatched hip roof extending outward as a shield against the tropical elements.
PK House reimagines the Bahay Kubo's essence with a contemporary twist. The ground level encompasses the Silong, serving as a multifunctional communal area, complete with an expansive Iron Wood Table, lounge nooks, and a gallery-style kitchen. Extending beyond are the pool deck and firepit courtyard, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living spaces, accentuated by a lap pool and hot pool, offering a breathtaking view of the horizon.
Ascending to the second level, the Living Area is enveloped by operable glazing panels, providing panoramic views of the seaside and mountains. Perimeter decks encircle the space, offering elevated vantage points and acting as protective eaves for the level below.
The third level houses the Master Bedroom, offering uninterrupted views of the sunrise over the sea horizon. A wooden Inoki bath adds a touch of luxury, while a Turnable Glazing System seamlessly integrates the interior with the perimeter deck, creating an expanded living space.
Atop the structure, a roof deck provides an intimate setting for open-air gatherings, complete with a Barbecue Bar, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding natural beauty of Calatagan.
Constructed with a steel framing system, PK House employs sandblasting and protective seals to withstand the seaside environment, with cascading levels creating a pyramid-like silhouette. Cantilevers serve as a climatic response, shielding the interior from harsh weather conditions while promoting natural ventilation.
The holistic design of PK House achieves a harmonious blend of spaces, tailored to the tropical climate, providing a tranquil haven for its inhabitants to unwind and connect with nature.
