We visited my sister's house earlier today. It's scheduled to be completed next month. It's a beautiful house - very Filipino. All the materials are recycled from old houses. The ground floor is made of stone, while the upper floor is all wood. The ceilings are pretty high, and there are old-style "ventinillas" (windows for your feet). This is perfect for the Philippine climate. I wish more houses were like this one. The garage is even made to look like a stable. How cool is that?
