Philippine Architecture - BAHAY NA BATO - ALE Review

Bahay na bato (Tagalog, literally "house of stone") is a type of building originating during the Philippines' Spanish Colonial period. It is an updated version of the traditional bahay kubo.
The arrival of the Spaniards in 1571 brought in European colonial architecture to the Philippines. Though not specifically suited for the hot tropics, European architecture was transposed via Acapulco, Mexico into a uniquely Filipino style.
In this era, the nipa hut or bahay kubo gave way to the Bahay na bato (stone house) and became the typical house of noble Filipinos. The Bahay na bato, the colonial Filipino house, followed the nipa hut's arrangements such as open ventilation and elevated apartments. The most obvious difference between the two houses would be the materials that was used to build them.
The bahay na bato was constructed out of brick and stone rather than the traditional bamboo, timbre and other wooden materials that elevates the house. It is a mixture of native Filipino, Spanish and Chinese influences. During the 19th century, wealthy Filipinos built some fine houses, usually with solid stone foundations or brick lower walls, and overhanging, wooden upper story with balustrades and capiz shell sliding windows, and a tiled roof. Excellent preserved examples of these houses of the illustrious Filipinos can be admired in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. Preserved examples of "bahay na bato" are also found in Taal, Batangas and Boac, Marinduque in southern Luzon, Iloilo, Iloilo and Carcar, Cebu in the Visayas, and Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte.

Nice content Sir. Reason why I am always in Vigan is not only because of its rich history but also because of its centuries old bahay na bato. And while I'm there I make it a point to stay in one turned hotel or b&b.

Thanks so much for this! I'm currently doing more research as I'm building more houses of stone in Minecraft. I'm hoping it will turn out to become a city in the long run hehe. This video helped a lot. Salamat po Kuya!

Bahay na bato was mentioned by Antonio Morga, before they conquer Manila in 1600 AD, with strong wooden post, with bronze canon in front yard, etc...
