Oh to answer the question, I don't think I could trade a conventional home for a luxury nipa hut. I don't mind spending a few days in one for vacation. However, bamboo is a sustainable and versatile material, when properly treated is strong and durable. I love the swimming pool by the way. 😀
Haha! I think I could, in a nice remote location that was safe and close to a body of water :)
Thanks, I think the swimming pool shape and design matched the rest of the architectural designs of the property and also maximised the use of the space 😊
I like how you have incorporated outdoor living space around the pool. It's a nice space to entertain guests while keeping their nipa house private.
Thank you so much!😊
That's true and the furnishings outside are very comfortable, while the outdoor shower is fairly private especially now since they've acquired the land and built another property right next door, so no real need to go inside the house. The outdoor toilet is massive. The contractor wanted to make it smaller, but it's big enough for baby change and it has a vent too, and spacious towel racks.
I didn't show the interiors, but both the bathroom in the house and at the outdoor gazebo have luxury Japanese / Korean style toilets, so you can listen music or disguise the obvious sounds which you sometimes have no control over😅.
Haha, I adore Japanese/Korean toilets, remembering how the owners lived in Korea, this is definitely a must. 😀

Thank you very much @discoveringarni
Yes, I'm happy I found most of the photos....sorry I didn't recover the ones with the backhoe driver and all of the team at the start of the exciting mission. I had a video with the backhoe in action and even the backhoe did break at the last finishing (I knew the jackhammers had no business doing this job 😂). Memories of being on this site and going into some rural communities and areas off the beaten track for the highest, and cheapest native materials was an experience that I will treasure forever :)
