What are the downsides of living in a glass house in the Philippines? Is it hot? How do you get around it? After more than 2 years…
[ad_1]
In the Philippines, the trend of building glass houses is becoming popular, but there are some challenges and problems associated with it. The hot and humid climate of the Philippines makes it difficult to maintain a glass house, as it can easily become too hot inside. The cost of maintaining a glass house with air conditioning can be high, and the fragile nature of glass makes it vulnerable to damage from typhoons and earthquakes. Additionally, privacy can be a concern in a glass house, as it allows for little to no privacy from the outside.
Conclusion
While glass houses may offer a modern and stylish appearance, they may not be the most practical or sustainable option in the Philippines due to the climate, maintenance costs, and privacy concerns. Consideration should be given to alternative building materials and designs that are better suited for the local environment.

HiEngr Slater, pedi po ba makahingi ng supplier for oversized sliding door, if you don't mind. TIA
Totally agree with the girl. Natural light is key. Most homes in the US are very dark and no thought to solar gain.
Wow
Nice!
I live in florida where we have hurricanes..during the renovation,I remember that I was not allowed to have big overhangs due to hurricane issues. With strong hurricane winds, the expansive overhangs will contribute to the possibility of the roof being blown off easily from the rest of the house. This is something to make note of in hurricane prone areas!
I love your house, but any glass breakages? You two are adorable…..thank you for sharing. Don’t forget to tell us about your next project.
Overhangs look weak against typhoon winds. I would round out the edges of the overhangs like an umbrella and use lattice designs to avoid the wind.
For me I would splurge on glass on the north side of my house. Lucky you dont have earthquakes too with all that glass. Do you have an interior safe room just in case?
Live in Texas definitely have to have double pane windows they are expensive but they make a huge difference with AC bill and outside noise..

How would it cost to build a house like this ?
just a question. Since the Philippines is 'bombarded' with at least 2 typhoons a year, how durable are those glasses to withstand such destructive phenomena?
