PHILIPPINE POSTAL OFFICE
Built in 1914 by Filipino architect Arcadio Arellano, the
house stands as a fine example of Philippine architecture
during a period when Art Nouveau is being incorporated
into the making of houses and buildings.
Bungalow Houses is an
echo of early American
home, one storey home
that provides great living
space and flexibility to fit
the needs of everyone in
the family.
This influenced the living
of Filipinos by the use of
separated bedrooms
STYLE OF RESIDENTIAL HOUSES
This house uses indigenous materials, such as wood, and clay, lets the Filipinos know
the more adequate and creative style of a house, influenced by different countries’
styles

group from Europe, the Americans collaborated this style
to create differently-formed ambience from Spanish
houses
Hand-painted,
printed, or
moulded on doors
and walls

lighter, slender,
cheap, not purely
wood -crafted,
and simpler type
of doors for

WINDOWS
Windows are made with different style in which Filipinos
wanted to have.
Simpler styles of
windows with
glasses and
louvers are
apparently used
to give value to
the house or any
building structure
FLOORINGS
Carpets, rugs, fabrics, and veneers were made and
brought up in the Philippines to let Filipinos know the
vitality of the floorings.
Larger diversity of
furniture were made, from
the way it was
manufactured, the style
and fabric to be used, that
will necessarily create
partnership with the
house color or interiors.
