Maosa Residence Architects face great pressure when designing their own home. Their houses give their potential clients a heads-up on their style; theyre a physical testimony of their skills as artists, which will either be permanently praised or scorned. So Francisco 'Bobby' Maosa designed his own house to show exhibits the beauty and uniqueness of Filipino architecture.
Beyond the Bahay Kubo: 35 Years
of Maosa and Company Inc. Thirty five years ago, Francisco Bobby Maosa left the comfort and security of the family firm to pursue his singular vision and passion: to create an architecture that is truly Filipino, and truly contemporary. Long before green architecture had become a buzzword, Maosa was already incorporating passive cooling and natural lighting into his designs, resulting in buildings that achieved a high level of comfort with minimal energy expenditure. Green design is just good design, says Architect Angelo Maosa, the firms current CEO. And good design adapts the structure to its environment. In a tropical setting like the Philippines, this means designing for the climate. Too many buildings are designed to look good without considering livable they are. Too many designers disregard how the sun hits the windows during the day, which direction the breeze usually comes from, or how rain will hit the roof. As a result, a home or office may look beautiful, but it could also be intolerably hotwithout constant air-conditioning and consequently massive power bills.
