One of the admirable traits of this house is its being built for a fairy tale, wherein the goddess of a verdant forest
has to remain true to her environment despite her being placed by her
circumstance in an urban setting called a subdivision in the heart of
Bacolod City. Only a child by heart can appreciate this house made to
dance with and among nature.
Visit and delight yourself with a house made of stones to withstand the typhoon, open-walled in some areas to welcome the air, glass windows to let the light come in, growing pine trees along the winding stairway design so as not to cut the same, a semi-underground amphitheater with stone walls, walls with colorful paintings, vines occupying the floors, a hilltop view on top of the roof. Endless.
While this is not a
museum or ecological site or a sanctuary, they are all like that for a
home actually habited by people. Yes, there are residents there. Of course, the
admirable fact is that the house is also a nook for Green Alert, an
organization dedicated to advance environment-related causes.
Owned
by Philippine Consul Rusty Binas, this house is in fact a private home but it
welcomes spectators and admirers to its doors, no slippers can be left outside because everything inside seems to be an outdoor. Thanks to the owner's
sister Grace for being our key that day.
By the way, anyone who knows Pardina? She was constantly evoked in my mind as I sat sipping native coffee here. Some Photos below are taken by Ms. Roxanne Joy Solidarios.
