Spacious Farmhouse in Antequera Bohol with Insulated Walls

This farm house have very spacious kitchen and living room. The bedrooms are bigger than most average homes in the country today.

The entire ground floor is an open type space designed for a backyard farming type of living as the lot is more than a thousand square meters nestled in the middle of a well irrigated forest type area where you can plant almost anything.

The walls are made of composite insulated wall of concrete and styrofoam mix (Expanded Polystyrene) sealed in smooth silica resulting in good heat insulation and faster finishing since it is already smooth. Insulated walls will greatly reduce aircon use resulting in lower electricity bill. Note that traditional non insulated concrete walls conducts heat well and will even retain heat from sun exposure up until night time. Most home builders are now slowly considering insulated walls due to its enormous energy efficiency benefits.

Most farming type of living will also involve raising animals like goats and chickens thus the side stairway is secured with metal railings and gates that prevent animals from climbing up the living room.

The windows are made especially large to make well ventilated living areas.

The ceilings are also made higher than standard for added ventilation. The high pitched A frame roofing design will allow for a larger breathing space above the ceiling which will make cooler ceilings.

The house gives an overall relaxed atmosphere as you are surrounded with thick vegetation and the sound of birds – it is a residential dwelling that is in itself also a rest house away from the bustling city…
