Pinatubo eruption, when more ’modern’ houses collapsed from the weight of the ash. The steep pitch of the roofs are often used to explain why many Bahay Kubo survived the ash fall from the Mt. The steep pitch allows water to flow down quickly at the height of the monsoon season while the long eaves give people a limited space to move about around the house's exterior when it rains. A tall roof creates space above the living area through which warm air could rise, giving the Bahay Kubo a natural cooling effect even during the hot summer season.
The traditional roof shape of the Bahay Kubo is tall and steeply pitched, ending in long leaves. This naturally divides the house into three areas: the living area in the middle, the area beneath it (referred to in Tagalog as the silong), and the roof space ( bubungan), which may or may not be separated from the living area by a ceiling ( kisame). With few exceptions arising only in modern times, most Bahay Kubo are on stilts: the living area is accessed by ladder. CharacteristicsĪlthough there is no strict definition of the Bahay Kubo and styles of construction vary throughout the Philippine archipelago, similar conditions in Philippine lowland areas have led to characteristics "typical" of examples of Bahay Kubo. During the 19th century, wealthy Filipinos built some fine houses, usually with solid stone foundations or brick lower walls, and overhanging, wooden upper story with balustrades and capiz shell sliding windows, and a Chinese tiled roof(today being replaced by galvanized roof).ĭuring the American period they still incorporated Bahay Na Bato style, though the American Antillean houses is more liberated in design but still keeps the Spanish Colonial designs. It is a mixture of native Filipino, Spanish and Chinese influences. The bahay na bato was constructed out of brick and stone rather than the traditional bamboo materials. The most obvious difference between the two houses would be the materials that was used to build them. The Bahay na bato, the colonial Filipino house, followed the nipa hut's arrangements such as open ventilation and elevated apartments. Its designs evolved throughout the ages but maintains its nipa hut architectural basis. Bahay Na Batoīahay Na Bato or Bahay Na Luma is a noble version of Bahay Kubo with Spanish and some Chinese influence. Finding European construction styles impractical in local conditions, Spanish and Filipino builders quickly adapted the characteristics of the Bahay Kubo and applied it to Antillean houses locally known as Bahay na Bato/Bahay Luma. This new community setup made construction using heavier, more permanent materials desirable. The advent of the Spanish Colonial era introduced the idea of building more permanent communities with the church and government center as a focal points. Different architectural designs are present among the ethnolinguistic groups in the country, although all of them are stilt houses, similar to those found in neighboring countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and other countries of Southeast Asia. They are still used today, especially in rural areas. Nipa huts were the native houses of the indigenous people of the Philippines before the Spaniards arrived. The term " nipa Hut", introduced during the Philippines' American colonial era, refers to the nipa or anahaw thatching material often used for the roofs. The Filipino term Bahay Kubo literally means "cube house", describing the shape of the dwelling.

These includes the Spanish era "Bahay Na Bato" which is a noble version of Bahay Kubo with Spanish and some Chinese architectural influence the American era's "Antillean Houses" which include aspects of Bahay Na Bato influence but has a wider range of influences and the Marcos era's Coconut Palace, Sto. Its architectural principles gave way to many of Filipino traditional houses and buildings that rose after the pre-colonial era. It often serves as an icon of Philippine culture or, more specifically, Filipino rural culture. The Nipa hut, Kamalig, or Bahay Kubo, is a type of stilt house indigenous to the vast majority of lowland Austronesian cultures of the Philippines.
