Finally!

I decided to create another blog, this time about the house I am building for my family. It's high time that we finally move out of condo living to our own place that we can really call home. The objective of this blog is for me to document the building process and the whole construction experience.

I had several meetings already with my architect as well as the electrical engineer.. we're about to apply for a building permit already this coming week. I have approved the floor plan and I am very happy with what Architect Nards came up based on my wish list.

I have about 400+ square meters of space to work with and the house design is Asian inspired, minimalist.

Part of my wish list includes the following:

1. High ceiling living room area

2. Dining room that opens to a lanai

3. A big kitchen

4. A big master's bedroom with walk-in closet, his and hers bathroom with a partitioned shower area and Jacuzzi.

5. Hi-tech security system

6. Multiple power sources (MERALCO, Genset, Wind Turbine,  and Solar)

7. Provisions for PABX system, wi-fi

8. Multi-media room

9. Aside from the main stairs, there will be an easy access spiral stair case that connects the kitchen to the 2nd floor.

10. rear windows of 2nd floor hallway to enable wind to pass through from rear of house to front balcony /vise versa.

11. home office with enough storage to keep any clutter and equipment out of sight.

12. remote controlled gate
