THE BOLOS HOUSE
Although almost monotone, this minimalist house isn't boring nor a luxury item. It's not just about having more space to live and experience because of being airy. It is also neither too cozy to resonate a contemporary appeal. The concrete, vegetation, and glass have represented this concept remarkably along with wooden textures and accents. Being almost one with nature has never been this achievable through pocket gardens and large glass panel windows.

BUNGALOW HOUSE
A lot of people knows that a good design is effective and necessary, yet for some reason, there are a number of people who don’t personally feel it’s worth paying for. This is the dark side of creating simple, clean and elegant designs. They look so easy, and yet a non-designer has no idea how much blood, sweat, and tears went into coming up with them.

BUNGALOW HOUSE
BUKIDNON, Philippines - a new addition to the firm’s project is a bungalow-inspired residential dwelling, conceptualized as to blur the built structure to its environmental set-up. Specific spaces, like the living room and entranceway, are extended to increase the comfort of the client; two additional bedrooms, one of which is the master bedroom, are added as part of the extension; also, the garage is corrected to accommodate a better parking space. The overall design aims to not only optimize the given spaces with respect to its precedent, but also correlate the end-result from its environmental setting, through the provision of porches – a perfect place to bond amongst family members alongside nature. The result is a home emanating a sense of tranquility, homey yet modern, simple yet sophisticated.

D’ Backpackers’ Barn!
Digal Architect and Builders kicks-off October with a new addition to its portfolio – D’ Backpackers’ Barn! Situated at Alona, Panglao, Bohol, D’ Backpackers’ Barn is a 12-bedroom lodging place suited for travellers seeking a plain yet comfortable accommodation. Guests are welcome by the open ambience of the location; emanating a country-vibe from the rustic design, they are able to unwind and enjoy a more peaceful and lay-back environment made perfect for a vacation stay. The reception area is easily spotted at the left corner of the cottage located just below the stairway. The first floor comprises of six (6) bedrooms inclusive of toilet and bath; the openness and rural-inspired concept of the design allow an organic sense to the place, adding a quiet peace necessary of a simple yet relaxing stay. Accessible through two sets of wooden staircase, opposite each other, is the second (2nd) floor – the primary extension of the project – with similar spaces of the ground floor; D’ Barn also offers good meals among visitors that are serve at the balcony; such space is a good venue not only for relaxation but interaction among them, a great opportunity to make friends and memories. It is only a 10-minute walk to the renowned Alona Beach, where a myriad of people await.
SINGLE STOREY 3 BEDROOM HOUSE
Amidst the attraction of modern trends, their nearly sterile neatness, although also convenience, we cannot deny some rooted yearnings, what the Filipino family's spirit looks for in a place that is to be called home. Some of us find it in nostalgic elements - a familiar dormer roof, a warm porch, or even a particular ground covering. We cannot explain why those put us in a child-like comfort but they do. Such sense, probably is one of some that inspired the world of architecture having been recently in a bit of a craze over juxtaposition. Digal Architects and builders celebrates such nostalgia of a Filipino home while incorporating the obvious reasonability of modern materials. The result is not exactly juxtaposition that focuses on the contrast of individual details against each other. Instead, we put them together to work with each other, where the differences are blurred by the harmony of the whole. More like syncretism. #sooninTubigon

THE MERMAID HOUSE
Dubbed by some as "The Mermaid House", because of its vision along the coastline of Garcia Hernandez attempts to reconcile the commercially-inclined idea of renting rooms out for public use with the prestige of private residence. The proposed structure sits on a narrow site, is entered through Bohol Circumferencial Road and comes out into the shoreline. The private residence is entered through a staircase, subtly separated from the pathway of the rentable rooms. It is navigated through circulation paths positioned along the southwest facade, so that the most habitable spaces, such as its 3 bedrooms, are located on the northeast side, enjoying morning sunshine and avoiding the afternoon glare. The 5 rentable rooms downstairs are provided with generous porch frontage despite the site's slender width, retaining a very Filipino custom of "tambay sa pantaw"; though, these are only best used in the early hours of the day and in the evening. The ample space of the balcony and roof deck is probably what inspires the "mermaid" nickname - it is washed with an unobstructed view of the calming sea.
COFFEE SHOP
What can you do with a shipping container? Contrary to what it looks like, a simple and boring shipping container transforms into a stunning cafe with a design that allows maximum space and assures minimal and easy execution. Incorporated with louvers on the opposite ends of its wide front, this design provides breezy and cool ambience.

Doing Great Things
CONGRATULATIONS Digal Architect and Builders for bagging 6th PLACE and taking the PGBH EMPLOYEE’s CHOICE AWARD for the recently concluded PGBh Employees Village Design Contest. We are forever grateful to our Almighty God for giving us the talent, time and treasures to continue with our goals and aspirations in helping and supporting our fellow Bol-anons. We are also in gratitude to our dear DAB family who tirelessly support us creating and designing a wonderful masterpiece. To everyone who helped us along the way, we are extremely thankful for all your help. The Design Our design theme is concentrated into one word, “Handuraw”, from the local dialect. Translated as “reminisce” in English, the design approach aims to draw back from the past. The Handuraw Houses are inspired by a typical Boholano house from the 1900s where we bring back pinsa, guwa, ang-ang and lukob back to the present. The key is to find the balance while incorporating the charm of the traditional house into now modern standards of construction, in the most efficient and most effective way possible.
