Designed to be a family's staycation home in Batangas City, Casa Borbon can also cater to two separate groups as an Airbnb rental. Its neo brutalist structure was designed by architect Amon Cali of Cali Architects who is heavily influenced by the likes of architecture greats such as Le Corbusier, Tadao Ando and Leandro Locsin. The house has a 150 sqm footprint and features a pool and a viewing deck of the mountains to the north.

Principal and Founder of Cali Architects, Cali thinks that brutalist structures work in our country because the use of large overhangs and cantilevers help keep out the harsh sun and heat out, while the concrete's texture looks great against the tropical landscape.

    I love Brutalist designs, and I thought PH Architects doesnt offer this kind of design nowadays, and just saw this! Wow!!!! What a lovely house!

    Thanks for the feature Jar! And thanks for educating people about the relevance of good design.

    I’m an aspiring architect and I think this concept is really really nice. It blended nicely with surroundings/environment. It’s like an abandoned building that was taken back by nature and just like what he said, “making it as if it’s a living rock,”. Kudos!!!🎉

    This is exactly what i want to build at our beach property. Modern, industrial look but elegant most esp low maintenance. Since i live in the US full time.
