Pampanga, Philippines — Architects from InnovArc Design & Construction show us around a contemporary bungalow specifically designed to be a retirement residence. 

Building a stunning and comfortable retirement home will need extra help if you want tons of modern touches and interactive spaces in it. So, after you consider the location that's probably super close to nature, you'd want to hire an architect and interior designer. 

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 Justin and I'm Paul. We're here in Pampanga and we want to show you this
00:05modern contemporary bungalow that was made especially for a retirement home.
00:10This is a special request from the owners since they're traveling abroad,
00:38they want to incorporate this feeling of authenticity in their new home in terms of cooking.
00:50This is the other end of the property. So we have here the driving range.
00:55This is our client's mini golf course. So aside here, we have the viewing deck.
01:00In this viewing deck, you can actually see the building envelope of the property, the house.
01:06And this property is surrounded by a fish pond.
01:14So we're here at the viewing deck. We can see the wide fish pond here on the perimeter.
01:20The owner made this because he wanted a view of the fish pond. At the same time,
01:25this is a resting place for him and his family. So we have sunbreakers here or brisolets.
01:32So these are specifically placed to block the morning sun on the other end.
01:44The lot size is around 1,000 square meters in area and the floor area is around 300 square meters.
01:52This property is surrounded by waters. So you have the view, especially morning and afternoon,
01:59which is the sunset. This established house is elevated from the natural grade around 1.2 meters
02:06high.
02:30So we're here inside the house. As you can see here, we have this rough natural adobe stones
02:35partnered with the wood TNG connection of our tang and grove that we call ceiling.
02:42To break the monotony of the area, we have this metal artwork and all of these will be
02:47useful for you when you enter the house. Moving on, let's go to the dining area.
03:00This dining table is actually made of magpuno. This is one of the hardest
03:05woods available here in the Philippines. And as we want to incorporate natural lighting
03:09and ventilation, we opted to have this glass doors and windows in this area.
03:18The design of the house is open planning, having this kitchen area,
03:22the dining, and here we have the living area. So we made this living area grand
03:33so having this spacious, the high ceiling, and as you can see here,
03:38the drop lights or the accent lights, same as what we have in the dining area.
03:45So we're here at Lanay. So this is one of the features of this property. So we've incorporated
03:52a pool, a lap pool with jacuzzi. And just to add, we have this grayish tile that we used.
03:58This is what matches our water plus the tropical vibe. So the color of this water has a greenish
04:05and bluish. So because of the grayish tile, we also used wood plastic composite decking.
04:11We call it WPC. This is durable and good for outdoor use.
04:15The name of this project is Domo's Vista. Domo's Vista came from the idea of having
04:26a gallery hall. Basically, this gallery hall would house awards and achievements.
04:36So we have reached the other area of the house. So this is the common powder room.
04:45So we're here at the gym. Let's go.
04:51So we have here the extension of our gallery hall or gallery area. So we can see here the other
04:58achievements of PBGEN. So we'll show you later what's all in the gallery hall.
05:04Since this is a retirement house, so the owners would promote wellness and longevity in life.
05:11We can see the view from the outside here. While mom is having a workout,
05:17sir can play golf in the back. So the nice view is here and they promote a healthy lifestyle.
05:23So to complete the experience of relaxation and wellness here at the gym,
05:27we added a small area here in the space so that it fits.
05:31So this is the gallery hall. So this is the highlight of this bungalow house.
05:47So this is housing all the artworks and the achievements of PBGEN.
05:52So you can see here, our design is just subtle. It's just a concrete finish.
05:58But we used ledges that are raw from tree trunk. So we want to highlight the memorabilia
06:06so that the guests can see how special this area is.
06:14So we have reached our last bedroom, which is the master bedroom.
06:19But I just want to show you our main door. So this is handcrafted from Betis.
06:24This handle is made from natural root. So we just designed it plus this pattern that we have here.
06:32So let's go inside.
06:35Okay, so this is the master bedroom. We also have here a special feature of the bedroom,
06:41which is the bay window. This allows you to view the perfect vista from the outside.
06:46Also, this acts as another space for compartments, for storages.
06:50This retirement house is not actually a house itself, alone.
06:54You really want to take a rest. You want to have enough spaces, enough leisure at the same time.
07:03And to give you a certain sense of fulfillment, because of course, this will be your retirement home.
07:12One of the owner's requests is to have a walk-in closet.
07:17So we thought of how we can incorporate this area into the vibe of the house.
07:23So we can see here the Solijia weave, or another term for rattan weaving.
07:30So this is a sunburst design. This is intended for the guests to enjoy the sun.
07:36This is a sunburst design. This is intended for storage of bags.
07:42Because we know that bags need proper ventilation.
07:48So we have here a vanity area and some accent lighting.
07:52We also have a master toilet and bath here.
08:06And that ends our tour. I hope you learned something and were inspired by the story of this house.
08:23And for those interested, you may contact us at our Facebook account, InnoVark Design & Construction.
08:29And who knows, you might be the next to build a retirement house like this.
08:33Thank you for watching!
08:34Dakla Salamat!
