The Green Design of Architect Pabs Suarez is very much a daily blessing. During the summer, it allows for cool ventilation not normally found in most homes these days. Our air-well gives us a morning breeze while dining. During the cooler days, it is like being in Baguio while staying in Metro Manila. Positioning of rooms, relative to solar and wind orientation provides optimized harvesting of natural lighting and airflow.

The design is especially helpful during brownouts when we need to rely on nature for these things. With Architect Suarez, you can enjoy nature in a modern design.

Benefits

  • Healthier, pleasant & comfortable interiors with natural light and cross ventilation with reduced energy consumption.
  • Shaded areas as source of cross ventilation are sources of cooler air.
  • Main staircase as source of diffused daylight, in conjunction with daylight from light wells make artificial light not a necessity during daytime.
  • Air conditioning a necessity only during extremely warm and humid conditions.
  • Energy efficient lamps and appliances, and water efficient fixtures result in reduced electric and water bills.
  • Raising ground floor by 1.0m above street level mitigates risk of flooding
