Modernizing the bahay kubo seems to be picking up on trends, and we're all here for it.
Homeowners Susan "Toots" Ople and Fort Jose share the joyful process of building their modernized bahay kubo in Dasmariñas, Cavite.
People do love to pay tribute to the good old days and relive the simplicity of life. That's including being comforted by a tiny house settled somewhere that lets you breathe the freshest of air and deal life with so much peace and quiet. And who wouldn't love an outdoor space surrounded by plants and nature?
Find out all the beauty inside this tiny house and around the property.

Small living is big these days. And tiny homeowners have spoken. They are drawn to its affordability, efficiency, eco-friendliness, and minimalism. But not all tiny houses are made equal, and the cost varies from one household to the next. So, OG steps in to give you that glimpse of what creativity looks like in different households and how much a tiny home really costs according to your needs.

00:05 Hello OG!
00:07 I'm Toots Ople.
00:08 I'm Fort Jose.
00:09 Come, join us. Let's go inside the house of Kubuk.
00:13 [MUSIC]
00:19 Welcome to our house of Kubuk.
00:21 This is Susan Ople's working place.
00:25 In the morning, she's here. She's here to zoom. She's here for all her meetings.
00:30 She's here to work. She's here to make columns.
00:33 The idea for the Kubuk is also an attribute of our culture.
00:40 At the same time, I feel that it's very refreshing and relaxing.
00:45 It's not like the concrete jungle of Metro Manila.
00:49 So, the house of Kubuk is really a tribute to the simple joys of the past.
00:56 [MUSIC]
00:58 The Kubuk, the roof, the ordinary iron.
01:02 We didn't make a roof. It's a bit difficult.
01:05 But the ceiling and the ceiling.
01:09 [MUSIC]
01:11 The materials are wood, ceilings.
01:16 I put a roof that's long-span so that it lasts longer.
01:23 Especially since we know that it's the time of the storm.
01:26 I also put a mural.
01:28 I also designed it so that our dog is also in the corner.
01:34 It has a bathroom inside.
01:36 [MUSIC]
01:37 We have a kitchen at the back.
01:41 [MUSIC]
01:42 We have a room outside.
01:44 And it also has its own bathroom.
01:47 And then we have a jacuzzi for those who want to relax.
01:50 [MUSIC]
01:52 The lot is actually 750.
01:59 But there's also an empty lot there.
02:02 A vacant lot that we will put someday a swimming pool.
02:07 The size of the Kubuk itself is 7.5 by 4.5.
02:14 The balcony is quite big.
02:16 [MUSIC]
02:20 When you enter, there are two beds.
02:25 One queen size and one double.
02:28 This is our coffee corner.
02:31 Tea.
02:32 Then the mural that Susan mentioned earlier.
02:37 And then our dog that is included in the mural.
02:44 This is our kitchen.
02:47 A small sink.
02:49 And then just two burners.
02:51 [MUSIC]
02:56 I struggled with the bathroom.
03:00 Because my initial idea was that it's a spa-type bathroom.
03:07 But the way the Kubuk was built, there are space limitations.
03:15 We also struggled with the air conditioning of the house.
03:19 Because of course, there are spaces in between the bamboo slats.
03:23 Especially on the flooring and on the sides.
03:26 Sometimes, the cool air escapes from the air con.
03:30 So those are the technical problems.
03:34 Because I don't have an architect or contractor.
03:38 Just us and the construction of the Kubuk.
03:43 Maybe, lesson learned.
03:44 It's also good to have a professional to guide.
03:48 But the good thing here is that the vision that I have in my mind was carried out.
03:54 [MUSIC]
03:57 We constructed this early part of last year.
04:02 I was expecting, because it's just a house, I thought it would be finished in one month.
04:08 But we also reached three months.
04:11 Maybe, it's also affected by the pandemic.
04:15 Our vision is very simple.
04:19 No partition.
04:21 Just a sanctuary.
04:24 And our idea is that we are more often in the garden than inside.
04:30 But because we also put a jacuzzi for our friends and family.
04:38 They can relax.
04:40 So the original idea is just a modernized Kubuk.
