PK House

Nestled in Calatagan, Batangas, Philippines, the PK House stands as a weekend sanctuary positioned on a hilltop with a vast 3-hectare lot, this architectural gem captivates with panoramic views of Balayan Bay and surrounding mountain ranges. Crafted as a three-level structure with a rooftop deck, the PK House utilizes steel framing for efficient construction. Embracing seaside orientation, the steel members undergo thorough sandblasting and protective sealing to combat corrosion. The cascading, layered design mimics a pyramid silhouette, providing an iconic presence while serving as a climatic shield from tropical heat. The cantilevers strategically shield interior spaces from harsh weather conditions, creating porous open spaces that harmonize with the site's climate.
