B Residence | Farmhouse

B Residence is a retirement farmhouse for a couple coming home from the United States. The site looks out to Mt. Apo and Mt. Matutum, and every design decision starts there. We arranged the house so the views stay open from the moment you arrive, then shaped the spaces around how the couple actually wants to live: slow mornings, open air, room for family to visit. At its heart is a courtyard. It anchors the plan, pulls light and breeze into the home, and blurs the line between inside and out. That connection is the essence of Filipino tropical living, carried through both the exterior and the interiors. Public spaces gather around the courtyard, while the bedrooms sit apart in their own quiet wing, so the house can host a full table and still offer real privacy.
