Cavite — Some days, we love watching people live simply or big in tiny houses. And some days, we want to step inside something spacious and immaculate. Somewhere that has a hotel's fancy vibe everywhere, with high ceilings, pretty chandeliers — and all. Something like this beautiful home outside the metro.

Welcome to another episode of Unique Homes, where we feature tiny houses, farmhouses, modern bahay kubo, and everything in between. Because we know — you can’t stop looking into other people’s homes for inspiration.

Explore the property, and enjoy the house tour! ️

00:00Hello OG, I'm David and I'm Rye.
00:03We're here in Cavite and welcome to our dream house.
00:12Okay, so before we go inside the house, let's first go to our garage.
00:17Here in the garage, two cars will fit.
00:24Here on this side, this is the way to the basement.
00:27Actually, on both sides of our house, there's a path like this.
00:31And before we go down to the basement,
00:33you'll see the vertical gardens and the plants here.
00:37This is what makes a house beautiful, right? When there's green.
00:46So we're now here in our service area outside the house.
00:50Our service area, what we plan to do here in the future is a dirty kitchen.
00:54Although right now, we're not using it yet.
00:56The paint is white because it's bright and clean.
01:02Growing up, I don't have really a specific dream home.
01:05Maybe because I'm too young for all of that.
01:08But when I started working, that's when I realized that I want to settle down
01:12and have my own retirement home.
01:14And nothing in particular, I just want a big house, that's it.
01:19I think that is one of the good influences that you had on me.
01:23What's great about our relationship is we talked about the future a lot.
01:27And one of those things that we talked about is settling down in our future home.
01:38Okay guys, this path leads to the basement area,
01:41where you'll find our maid's room, driver's room, stock room,
01:45and the star of the basement area, my music room.
01:49Let's go!
01:54So this is my music room, my work area.
01:58I am a singer.
02:00I have been a singer for over two decades already.
02:04And I also write songs.
02:05One of the songs that I wrote is called Kahit Kunwari Man Lang,
02:08interpreted by Agzunta and Moela de la Torre.
02:11This is where I write songs.
02:13This is where I record.
02:14This is where I make videos.
02:24So David and I met in 2015,
02:27and then we stayed in a small condo.
02:30Then after experiencing the city life,
02:32we kind of felt that it would be better if our place was bigger.
02:36The environment would be brighter.
02:38So we thought it would be better if it was a house.
02:40The first thing we looked at was the lot.
02:42Fortunately, my brother-in-law has connections with brokers,
02:45and he introduced us to this place.
02:48And then when we had our ocular visit,
02:50we liked it because the place is very relaxing.
02:53It's windy, the place is high,
02:55and it overlooks a beautiful view.
02:57So because the land is a bit pricey,
03:00we bought the land in 2016.
03:02We didn't have a plan at that time to construct a house.
03:09The construction of the house started during the pandemic.
03:12So during the pandemic,
03:13we realized that we needed a house.
03:16So that's when the construction of the house started.
03:19So now, we're here on the other side of our house.
03:22Earlier, we mentioned that there are two ways to the basement.
03:25Now, let's go upstairs to our main house.
03:28Let's go!
03:32Okay, before we go inside the house,
03:34this is our main door made of solid Nara, customized.
03:38Then for our security,
03:40we put a digital lock
03:42so that when we enter,
03:44For our security, we put a digital lock
03:47that has three-way access.
03:49It can be code, it can be card, and it can also be fingerprint.
03:53So let's go inside.
03:54Here we go, let's go!
03:58That's right.
04:04Okay, so we're now inside our main house.
04:07And the first thing we'll show you is our high ceiling.
04:11And of course, the star of our living room,
04:13this high accent wall.
04:16Custom-made, individually cut blocks from mahogany wood.
04:20The inspiration for this is what we saw on Pinterest,
04:23a design, an art design that looks like this.
04:26But we made our own unique design of the accent wall.
04:35So if you noticed, we don't have a TV in the living area
04:38because intentionally, we really intended that it doesn't have a TV.
04:41Because this is supposed to be a social area
04:43so that there's no distraction when there's a conversation,
04:46chatting with friends and our family.
04:48So the design of the house, if you noticed,
04:50is modern contemporary with colors,
04:52the shades of blue, dark blue, and then orange,
04:56burnt orange, there's copper.
04:58Because that's the color of our union ceremony back in 2018.
05:08We really wanted something simpler because we were not rich.
05:12But then we felt that if we're going to invest on something,
05:16we might as well throw it away.
05:18It's like retirement, we don't know where we'll grow old.
05:20So grow old with you, cue in music.
05:23Something like that.
05:25But then since we couldn't afford it that time,
05:27we felt that since we're going to invest,
05:29let's wait, let's be patient, and let's save and save and save.
05:32So we saved for four years.
05:34Because in 2016, we bought the land.
05:39In terms of the house, David really wants it to be clean and white.
05:44The house, actually, the property isn't that big,
05:47but because of white and how it's decorated,
05:50it appears to be really big.
05:52Another thing that we want is to have a high ceiling.
05:56That's for sure.
05:57Oh, because we had a friend.
05:59When we had it constructed and designed,
06:03we had a friend who said,
06:04You know, if you really want your house to be social,
06:07it should have a high ceiling.
06:09Like that.
06:10Like a chandelier.
06:11Yes, and we didn't really have that concept.
06:14Because we didn't grow up rich,
06:16so we didn't have a concept of high ceiling.
06:18That's how a rich house should be.
06:20So we said,
06:21the ceiling should be at least this high,
06:24so that it's believable.
06:25High ceiling.
06:26And our friend also said,
06:27friend, it should be 3 meters,
06:30so that the house has a high ceiling.
06:35Which is true.
06:36That's why it looks more spacious,
06:37because of the high ceiling.
06:44Okay, all the furniture in this house is custom-made.
06:47Like our buffet table there,
06:50and a console table here.
06:53It looks antique,
06:54but it's actually custom-made.
06:55We made it using their old wood.
06:58And then the benefit of having one supplier making all your custom-made,
07:03sometimes they give a freebie,
07:04like the table in the middle.
07:06At first, I didn't know what to do with this,
07:08because this is just a freebie.
07:09But I put it here to define the space between the living room and the dining room.
07:18And we're here in our dining room.
07:22So before we go to the dining room,
07:24you can see the view here,
07:25it's so beautiful.
07:26You can see the greens.
07:27And the location is high,
07:28that's why it's nice to eat here.
07:30The dining table is made of full-slab Nara,
07:33and we maintained its original shape.
07:36We didn't make it a perfect rectangle.
07:38This is an 8-seater dining table.
07:41Its thickness is around 5 inches.
07:43This is where we eat with friends and family.
07:45Yeah, with tufted chairs,
07:47so that it looks more classic.
07:50We just put vases here.
07:52If it's not being used,
07:53I just bought it from the nearby arcade.
07:55And of course, we have a chandelier from Shopee.
08:02We're now here in our kitchen area.
08:05You know, we intended this kitchen area to be spacious and big,
08:08because we want to chase Habie David here.
08:12Because our dream is to have a big kitchen.
08:14And also, we have an island like this.
08:17Because we wanted something that is very like the American kitchens.
08:21So that the dining table can be used for special dinners
08:24or special meals.
08:26And this is where we eat our regular everyday breakfast and lunch.
08:34And notice, the kitchen is white so that it looks clean.
08:37And I wanted, we wanted it to be a little bit more different and fancy.
08:41That's why the fixtures are gold, if you notice.
08:43Even the handles of the cabinets.
08:45The faucet, the sink is gold.
08:47And then notice, our cabinets are glass-open.
08:52You can see the inside.
08:53Because when the cabinets are open, you can see the inside.
08:56You can see that the things are clean.
08:59The kitchen is organized.
09:01So again, the kitchen is spacious also because we like to cook.
09:05So it's quite obvious that we have a lot of dishes.
09:07This is our favorite place here in the house.
09:15So this is the common powder room.
09:18Originally, it should only be a powder room.
09:21But we also put a shower.
09:23Because Rye and I, we like to host guests and friends here in the house.
09:28So if there are a lot of people here, it's better if there are a lot of showers that they can use.
09:36Okay, here on the ground floor, we have a guest room.
09:38Let's go inside.
09:41Okay, so the reason why we have a guest room on the ground floor
09:45is because aside from our family and friends, when they stay here,
09:49David and I, when we get older,
09:51it's not hard for us to go up to the second floor.
09:54When we're old, it's hard.
09:56Then all of our guest rooms here and all of the rooms here actually,
10:00it has its own restroom or toilet.
10:03This is it.
10:08So our house, the lat size is 260 square meters.
10:12And then the floor area of the house is a total of 350 square meters.
10:17It has a basement, ground floor, and second floor.
10:20And then the materials, there's concrete, and then there's wood.
10:24The wood here is Nara.
10:26And then there's Mahogany.
10:28And then there's also quartz stone used in the kitchen.
10:31And then there are wood planks for the tiles.
10:35Marble design tiles were also used.
10:38And then there's wood laminate.
10:41So this is our stairs.
10:43The steps are made from solid Nara wood,
10:46which is a custom-made same supplier of our furniture.
10:50Of course, it's glass so that it's still more modern.
10:53And then our stairs are hole-in-one
10:55so that the air flow continues to circulate here in the house.
10:59Let's go upstairs.
11:00Go.
11:05So we're here now on our second floor.
11:07So we're here now on our second floor.
11:09And the first thing I'm going to show you is our walk-in area.
11:12Yeah, I'll be David.
11:13Here in this area, we like to hang out because the internet is strong here.
11:18And we also play Mobile Legends here.
11:20Yes, if you can see here in this area,
11:22the feels are very cozy because it's close to our bedroom.
11:26And then if you notice, there are wall panels that we designed
11:29because it actually elevates the wall.
11:31It looks fancier.
11:33It looks fancier when there are panels like this.
11:38In the basement, I have my own man cave, my own studio.
11:42Upstairs, this is my office.
11:45Come on, let's go inside.
11:46Take a look.
11:47So this is my office on the second floor.
11:50It's a bit small, but this is where I spend most of my time,
11:54weekdays from Monday to Friday.
11:56What I like about my office is the view, for now.
11:59Because when you see the view, you can see the Laguna Bay.
12:05And then, I also like coffee.
12:07That's why I have a mini coffee maker here.
12:16We bought everything in 2016.
12:18We bought 19,000 per square meter.
12:21So we bought roughly 5 million.
12:25And then, for the house, the construction,
12:29including our equipment, around 11 to 12 million.
12:37Here on the second floor, we have two rooms.
12:40The first room is another guest room, so let's go inside.
12:43This is our second guest room.
12:45It's very similar to the guest room downstairs.
12:47Now, it's a little bit smaller compared to the guest room downstairs
12:50because to make space for the balcony.
12:56So this is the last room in this house.
12:58This is our room, the master's bedroom.
13:00Ry and I love to travel.
13:02So when we had this master's bedroom made,
13:06we wanted the feels of a hotel.
13:11So this is our walk-in closet here in the house.
13:14Our dream walk-in closet is full of glass that you can see inside.
13:18And it has lights.
13:19You can see that it has lights.
13:21And then, it's like a boutique that you know,
13:23when you look at it, it's on display.
13:26Let's go look at the master's bathroom.
13:29So here in the master's bathroom, it's very similar to our bedroom,
13:33the feels, the fancy hotel feels.
13:36The faucet, the sink, even the knobs of the cabinets are gold fixtures.
13:41It's more fancy.
13:42Even the shower is also gold.
13:47So this is where the tour of our dream house ends.
13:50Thank you, OG, for having us.
13:51I hope you were inspired by our home story.
13:54Till next time!
13:55Bye!
