    Filipino House: Bahay Na Bato


    The bahay na bato (at kahoy) has become
    "authentic Filipino," to go by Fernando
    Nakpil-Zialcita's argument, because the
    original Spanish architectural design has
    been repurposed to suit the native climate
    using the native architectural idiom, in
    particular construction ideas from the
    bahay kubo.

    - making the structure more earthquake-


    proof
    - allowing more light into the house
    Bahay na Bato as example of - allowing more air (wide windows,
    Arkitektura Mestiza ventanillas, high arches, pierced transoms)
    - shielding the house from the rain and heat
    of the sun (medias aguas)
    - raising the floor as a precaution against
    flood
