Hi guys. Just wanted to clarify that this is a concept and is meant to inspire, not to be copied outright. There are no 2 exact projects, a lot depends on the property, the owner, the use case, etc. As I stated in the video, there are a lot of things we did not consider yet but for the curious, here are some answers to your FAQs: 1. Mango tree breaking the concrete flooring can be mitigated by raising the floor and leaving a hollow area where the roots may hit - which can also be done here 2. Furniture gets wet? Use outdoor furnitures that are made for heat and rain. 3. Floor gets wet? Floor drains and proper slopes for drainage. Imagine the terrace areas or balconies of typical homes. 4. Security? When conceptualizing this house, we imagined it in a farm land in the province. Valuables may be placed inside the bedroom or locked in the cabinets. There are a lot more things that can be done but again, these are concepts. Thanks for watching 👌🏼
I like the concept of this house. I even sent the link to my spouse. It just does not fit the 1.5M budget mentioned considering I would have to add glass walls, glass windows and glass doors and others to retain the concept. Adding all those would probably cost more than 500k.
it's also hard to maintain if you do not have any help. anyone who has any kind of large fruit bearing tree really close to their home knows what a pain it is to keep the area clean. not to mention you have to deal with the insects, birds, bats, etc. that it will attract. also keep in mind, the tree sap and certain fruits will stain surfaces or sometimes eat through paint over time.
Aspiring vlogger po ako. Kahit senior citizen na, nangangarap parin akong maging isang inspirasyon sa mga katulad kong matanda at may disability. Hindi hadlang ang anumang dahilan para hindi abutin ang ating pangarap. Maraming salamat po sa inyo. Merry Christmas at God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Don’t get me wrong the idea and design the best !! Pero sa tulad ko na napasok na ang bahay at ninakaw mga gamet ko ! I don’t feel safe with this house 😔
yan mga ganyan design pang exclusive village lang yan.. subukan mong magpatayo ng ganyan design sa mga barangay barangay tingnan ko lang kung hindi targetin ng mga kawatan yan hahaha..
It’s a new year with bright and beautiful ideals , hope you’ll got a huge list for this 2021 . Coz last year was messed up due to many weren’t wise enough to consider investment . But the question, what will you achieve this year?
I almost slept at the streets last year when my rent was due 😭 but thanks to a friend who introduced me to Mrs Sophie Clare Williams ,a financial adviser.
Mrs Sophie Clare Williams is holding a very high prestige and reputation in personal financial management. I’m happy you mentioned her. My wife recommended her to me after investing 3 grand and she really helped us in times of this bad pandemic crisis. I’m close to my retirement and this has been and well remain a good survival for me
Hi, any prefab concrete home reviews po? I hope meron sa mga susunod, plan kasi namin mag patayo ng house, may nag sa suggest sa amin ng prefab concrete. Gusto ko lang maka hanap ng more reviews bago kami mag pa bahay. Thank you
My wife once barged in our room and saw me watching this channel. She got surprised and mentioned, "why are you watching him?" (she watches Kryz). I just said, you girls got Kryz, this is a man's channel. LOL. PS : glad to see the overhang longer on this one. Hindi na mainit hehe.
@@claricemontinola3650 not really sure if you got the drift. Lol. Nothing sexist with that. Anyways, happy holidays to all :) let's not get triggered easily this coming 2021 :)
@@kurapikakurta3863 errr again not really sure where the sexist slide is coming from. hehe. But I'll bite for the last time. I never mentioned anything about this should / be an exclusive channel for men. It's basically means most men would love this channel. Similar to when I asked my wife way back why she watches Kryz so much (make up, etc), she told me, girls would understand. Doesn't mean men or I don't shouldn't/couldn't/wouldn't watch Slater's better half. And trust me, I've watched a couple of her vids on my own too. 😉👍 Peace and love to all this 2021. Let's not get triggered easily and turn everything into a his/her thing. 😘
That mango tree is beautiful, but I guarantee it will give you so many problems down the road. Swinging in wind, branches falling, leaves. Won't be good for a delicate house in a typhoon.
Aesthetically pleasing but there's still a lot on the practical side na di pa covered like wildlife/weather and security. Pero as Slater said, di pa siya tapos. Hopefully we can see the final version with those issues solved.
Indeed, the whole vid I am thinking what if a murderer enter the house. I've seen the doors, kind of thin for a wood door. Parang ang dali ka lang manakawan ganon
Hindi ako architect at hindi rin ako engineer, just an accountant, but I would always prioritize function over form. Others who would watch this would be wowed by the archl design but this house has many safety and security issues. Maganda to have a tree passing thru a roofing but a tree attracts lightning, ants, etc.,its branches can break during a storm. Outdoor furniture also needs protection from sun and rain. Ang mahal kaya ng sunbrella fabric and mahal din ang wood that can withstand sun and rain. Parang mali to stick to a budget of 1.5M pero yung furniture will definitely be costly. The first floor should have walling, to retain the design, glass wall would be nice but will cost a lot, it will also bring up electricity cost, during day time. Also, allowed ba ng National Building Code to leave the roof deck without a railing, or railing that has wide gaps, or with just the plants as barrier? Parang hindi. Also, it would also be important to have a powder room in the living area. We dont want visitors passing thru the bedroom just to use the toilet.
High maintenance naman tong house na to. Una, since open sya, mabilis magdumi ang interior ng house, therefore the house should always be clean properly. Kundi gagabok yong mga furnitures and the bed. Second, madaling pasukin ng mga insects, lizards and maybe rodents like farm mouse depending on where it is built on. Pero number 1 dyan insects and lizards. Lizards poop everywhere and make the house dirty. Lastly, since the philippines is a tropical country, we get a lot of mosquitoes, rain and storms. The furnitures on the second floor will get destroyed by a typhoon. It’s a cool concept but realistically speaking, it may be cheap but hard to maintain and not practical IMO.
My three main reactions to the design: (1) It is so beautiful. (2) If this is for the Philippines, a lot needs to be adjusted to make it work in the Philippine climate. (a) You will have issues with insects. So that needs to be addressed. (b) You have rain for many months of the year, so the open area on the roof deck may not be usable during that time. All the second floor furniture needs to be selected with the idea of being able to withstand getting soaking wet. (c) If there are strong typhoons or earthquakes, you will need to check that the tree does not pose a safety risk. (3) I don't understand how to access the outside spiral staircase. If the dining area is on the second floor, how do you access the roof deck from the kitchen? Do you go through the bedroom and the bathroom? Or do you go out to the garden and walk the perimeter of the house? If you add a roof to the second floor later on to make it usable during rainy season, you will also have to cover the stairs so that the stairs stay dry. Even with all my questions though, very nice design. I like the look of the concrete slab roof. No more beams, wow!
I'm thinking of building something similar to this but on the beach in the Philippines.. Would something like this work on the beach? As far as dealing with insects, what could be done? Mosquito netted bed? What else? Maybe he could cover half the roof? Or just add a dining area on the first floor and problem solved?
@@TC-yx1qt also to add one other thing, don’t plant trees within your house :o roots will become a major major problem once the tree grows more. Either the tree will “suffocate” and die or it’s going to cause cracks and faults in the floor ~ best to just keep things such as trees outside of the building 🤗 happy home and happy tree
Not practical for a common pinoy family. Let's say someone who has saved up just exactly the right amount of money can't be satisfied with a space like that. Waste of a lot of space.
Hi! If you’re looking for a 1.5M house, and being practical wth 2bedroom, Carport and Garden included with peripheral fencing. I can recommend somewhere :)
ikanga, pag mura, dont expect you are protected from snakes or predators or worst mga magnanakaw, cery stylish and classy pero parang rest house lang sa boracay
The design is not practical. Its a house made for a billionaire who doesnt mind wasting money just for giggles. I dont see this working out in a place like the Philippines.
It can work out, but you need to build it in a very exclusive subdivision made for millionaires/billionaires where the lot area would cost you around 15 Million to 20 Million including the landscape 🤣. You are right, it's not practical. 😁
I was waiting for this comment 😂 I wont pretend to know anything about architecture and engineering but it just didn't seem right. It seemed like it was lacking a couple of important parts, but that's just how I felt while watching
@@lesterreyes8548 i could think of a hundred reasons why its not practical. I'll start now. This is in no particular order. In a tropical country much like the Philippines, bugs be it insects during the day or the night will come terrorize you. Imagine switching on your bedroom lights and 9999999999 bugs comes swarming around your lights? Dengue-carrying mosquitoes? Your neighbours no matter how far they are, would probably accidentally witness the owners doing the deed during the day or in the dead of night. You'll be giving the akyat bahays a favour with this terrible design. Imagine the headlines saying : Family of 3 killed in apparent home invasion; investigators says there was no force entry **shrugs**
I also see it that way sir John, not practical in a tropical country at not very fortified na kayang nakawan ng madali. But Sir Slater said that they might add more as it is not complete and up for an upgrade. We hope na they add some curtain walls or actual walls and replace those exposed perforated wood walls at least if they try to materialize the house in the future. On the bright side, I try to look at its aesthetics na lang to see its beauty.
The concept is fantastic and sympathetic use of natural environment and material. I’ve contacted your architects and hope to hear from them … for my personal rural coastal project on the East Coast in Malaysia. Thank you Slater for showcasing the design!
@@cristinaremo6878 As what he said "this is just a concept" and " wag nyo copyahin kasi madami pang hindi naconsider" if only you listened in the first 4 minutes of the video
@@normj14 those are valid concerns that was glossed over by calling this a concept. The challenge was to make a budget house and that implies that it should livable. This is a concept house that barely fits the 1.5m budget restriction.
Safety & security for parties should be considered, wala lang just in case nagkalasingan, walang mahuhulog sa baba 🤣🤣🤣. Or kung mag kantyawan at magtulakan, especially for children or oldies na nagkakapikonan. 😂😂😂
You can get what he got now in just few months ! But the question is how right ? Well I will tell you meet a professional who can help you trade your Capital to profits you will earn for sure
Very creative & unconventional. I would add zero-energy elements (better insulation, high efficiency windows, etc) for interior areas, rooftop solar panels & rain water collection system.
@@cristinaremo6878 wala naman ginamit na wood sa foundation ng bahay since steel pipes and concrete yung ginamit and yung wood element is nasa furnitures. Ang pwedeng gawin in my opinion is to have the whole living area covered in moveable glass panels to give it the same outdoor vibe, and then use borate for the wood furnitures before applying wood varnish or enamel paint for finishing. Though it would still be best to consult this with professionals.
I am also concerned on how the mango tree will affect the house in case of typhoon. Other than issues on water leakage, baka maputol ang tree, mabagsakan ang house. This is a big hazard. But then, he said that they are still in the planning stage.. So more opportunities pa to improve the design 😊
@@RGCN_0011 we have a big mango tree in front of our house in an urban village. The ants first started to make homes out of the leaves of the tree just like in one of the documentaries I've watched from National Geographic or Discovery Channel, I can't remember which in particular. Then between May to July, just before big typhoons come, a lot of gamu-gamo would be swarm around at sunset. Then voila, we'd see termites moving up or down the trunk of the mango tree.
@@cristinaremo6878 One large indicator na may malapit na termite nest sa isang bahay is kapag madaming lumilipad na gamu-gamo sa isang light source. Yung mating season kasi nila usually nakasabay sa rainy season kaya sila lumilipad or yung tinatawag na nuptial flight. After ng mating season maghahanap na sila ng sarili nilang space para maging nest, and dun magpaparami after mga ilang araw. Pero di sila mahilig kumain sa kahoy na napinturahan or nabarnisan kaya usually sa mga kahoy na ginamit sa pundasyon sila nagpaparami, or sa butas butas sa mga puno.
Concern: that area on the 2nd floor part of the mango tree where you can lounge, if therell be heavy rain, wouldnt it be a cause for water problems? Great video tho 😊
i believe slater mentioned that there well be waterproofing also i guess they will consider putting a linear drains. There are still a lot of factors that might change on the actual as he clearly said that this is on a concept stage
Same concern. I think they'll be adding an open drain sa ground floor for the runoff water. Pero everything is still on its early stages of conceptualization. Kudos to Slater and LLG Architects!!!
I really love the Aesthetic of the house, and i love the floating effect that Sir Slater did on the flooring. The design of the house is very raw thats why if you dont have enough budget to fully finish it, you dont have too, you can take your time to save up money then continue with the building of the house. 😊😁😁 Merry Christmas ang Happy new year!
I'd like to know the basics of house planning and consultation, what's the starting price or price range. Will it depend on how many floors the house will be and the area or are there standard prices to get a design/blueprint?
I like the aesthetic and build of the house. Love structures that blend with the surroundings instead of standing out. So how much do we pay professionals with a 1.5M build?
Hiring professionals is the best way to go. During our planning stage, we asked the help of a relative for the design and not so skilled engineer thinking it will save us money in professional fees. Turned out to be more expensive kasi we revised multiple times on the designs coz it didn’t come out compliant with building requirements. Everytime we revised, we paid. I cried all the time due to frustration and sayang ang money. When we finally got a very experienced (awarded pa) and licensed architect we started from scratch but the design was very good and we didn’t have any revisions when we applied for building permit. Walang sakit sa ulo. Learn from our actual experience, guys.
Wow, just wow! Excellent idea that can be done in any area provided there's a complete and thorough coordination with the Architects & Designers for the security aspect of the house! I'm so impressed that I subscribed to this vlogger! Please continue to inspire everyone who's planning to build or renovate their houses! Bravo! Salute!
sliding screens (made of rattan with steel frame) can also be a good addition along the columns for a bit of privacy by night, as shade to harsh sunlight, for rain, etc. this is as the budget increase.
Sleek elegance of a cost effective house is really a head turner! Practical approach can make you add more in the future depending on your preferences. Millenia Archi touch✨ simply charming, chicky and cozy. With loads of conventional and convertible mechanisms that surprises anyone who will witness such practical sciences for the first time! Just like my brother would always dream of, we support such brilliant ideas! Godspeed.
Watching your vids convinced me to really get a professional help in bldg my future home! We had a really bad experience encountering an architect that is off the hook! We trusted him too much, and it’s our fault of not being careful but we really had no idea how to be involved and what to expect! But thank you so much Engr Slater coz you and Arch. Llyan Austria have really good content and educating us so well! Kudos to your videos and always waiting for your great contents! I am really learning a lot!
Also would like to see your thoughts about swimming pools. We had one in a family rest house but it cracked due to an earthquake. Are there modern solutions to make it sturdier and which materials do you recommend other than just adding concrete? Thanks a lot for educating us!
Napakaganda as in gusto ko din talagang magkaron ng sariling bahay... Filipino Indian Family here 🇵🇭🇮🇳 Can you please shout out us please.. 😊😊 Thanks..
As a big fan of brutalist designs (mainly Tadao Ando's works) and a newbie Architect who's planning on building my very own house in 3-4 years, this concept is good and helpful considering the aesthetics as sir Slater says "SLEEK" all the time, it's damn sleek aesthetically all right. Good job both LLGADS and Sir Slater. Those renders are no Joke. Is that Lumion or Enscape ? I am using Lumion 8 and an older version of Enscape and a slightly upgraded potato PC so pardon if I couldn't really determine exactly. Ang ganda! Mamaw siguro ang PC ng gumawa nyan. Kudos to the renderer and his monster of a PC, well done!
@@TC-yx1qt Realistically, that would depend on the various load requirements, material types and sizes being used etc.. An engineer would need to run calculations based on load requirements, then could make design recommendations based on client/architectural preferences.
Thank you so much for this Eng. Slater! I want to share this to the rest of my fellow OFWs and Seafarers. Ang ganda nung concept. Yes I agree. Your topics are very interesting eh from the very beginning just like Arch. Oliver's I always follow your YTC and FB page. You are inspiring me. God bless you more and Merry Merry Christmas and Safe and Super Blessed New Year! :)
I was expecting a more kind of like liveable space for ordinary people. I mean if you are on a budget, you cannot expect one to have a big lot. I would also consider a more secured house than this. For me it feels like a 'tambayan' for the rich peeps that is worth 1.5M.
Favorable on large land area property without any noise from nearby houses or roads. Another thing is how will be the security be implemented on this design? In the Philippines, consider typhoons too, animals or insects might get in easily or uninvited guest in middle of the night. Overall design is very sleek and beautiful.
