FGLA 2020 Merit: House No.17
May 22, 2020
Nestled on the foot of Mount Hibok-Hibok on Camiguin Island is a tropical ranch house inspired from the mid-century homes of the 1950s. Through careful profiling, the abundance, and tranquillity of nature drew the owner to this site. The island’s natural landscape was the major key to the design process, along with a vision of a private home resembling a resort. Situated at the foot of a dormant volcano, Vulcan Daan, Camiguin’s old volcano, the house was designed to pay respect to the existing terrain and setting. The location inspired the design team to use volcanic rocks as a finishing material for the house.
