The setting

Between the river and the mountain

You are fifteen minutes from Calapan City, on land that runs down to the Biga River, looking east to the Halcon range across open rice country.

The land is owned by a family whose presence in Calapan and Oriental Mindoro dates back to before the Spanish conquest of the Philippines. We expect to maintain carefully cultivated rice fields, including heirloom rices and Mindoro's own aromatic dinorado.

Mornings come off the mountain across open paddy, and in the evening a breeze runs down the valley along the river. The three house designs are drawn for this climate, with deep eaves, cross ventilation and the principal rooms turned to the garden.
