Looking at these thoroughly modern abodes, one might be tempted to say that they bear little or no resemblance to the classic nipa hut. Just imagine how quick and easy it would be to shelter an entire village.” By the time we were done, they were still laying the foundations of the other structure. “It took us just a few days to assemble everything. “We had a client who ordered a CUBO unit to complement a concrete house that he was building,” Forlales recalls. Amazingly, the price is around SGD53,000 – an amount comparable to a midrange brick-and-mortar townhouse in the Philippines.Ĭonstruction time for CUBO homes usually takes less than a week. This unit is arguably the most modern bahay kubo ever, with a Smart IOT home hub (Amazon Alex acompatible), finger print-activated locks and integrated security cameras that guard the canopied front deck and other exterior areas.
On the other end of the scale, the 63.5 sqm Sarangani Smart – a stylish flagship model – boasts luxurious amenities such as a fully-tiled bathroom with walk-in shower, three bedrooms and a kitchen with floating base and wall cabinets.
Currently the most basic model is the 21.5 sqm Bulacan Starter which starts at PHP899,000 (SGD22,000). It only costs around SGD2,000, and building it takes a mere four hours.

Then he implemented a modular design that made for highly customiseable plans. The 27-yearold designer felt that the bahay kubo offered a template that could result in cheaper, sustainable and easy-to mass-produce housing.įorlales looked to the same basic material that gave the nipa house its versatility - bamboo - but engineered to enhance its structural capacity and weather resilience. Earl estimates that only 200,000 houses are built each year – a shortfall that is no doubt influenced by the sizeable time, labour and materials costs of building conventional concrete structures. In the Philippines alone, surveys report a need for at least 6.5 million new homes to serve the growing population. A graduate of Materials Science and Engineering from the prestigious Ateneo University of Manila, he was pondering a solution to the housing shortage that besets much of Asia.
