Nations around the world have been contributing to climate change by damaging natural environments and releasing greenhouse gases and there is a need for more economically developed nations. There are different contributing factor, but the majority of these contributions are from the more economically developed places like in Tagaytay City , facing the beautiful Taal volcano where the site is located. To lessen these effects, we have to consider sustainability in building structures.

According to John Connell, Every design, whether for a product or an entire building, will necessarily focus on certain metrics at the expense of others. For example, a net-zero home design is going to favor different priorities than one that solves for clean air and water conservation. Similarly, manufacturers seeking a minimum carbon footprint will make different business decisions than those seeking a fully non-toxic process. It would be nice to be at the top of the charts in all categories but that is still a long way off. For now, lets not let perfect become the enemy of the good.... Residential architecture offers a perfect example. We now know quite well how to make a net zero house. Indeed, we are seeing more and more homes that actually. But many of the strategies used in such homes will not work when renovating an existing building, especially if it is historically significant. In such cases the historic importance of the building must mediate the green initiatives.
Preservationists frequently decry the cultural damage that takes place in the name of energy conservation. Windows with insulating glass and SDLs (simulated divided lites) simply cant replicate historic single pane units with true divided lites. They look too different and throw off the proportions of the windows as well as the entire facade. Similarly, many early wall assemblies are simply too narrow to accommodate todays best insulating strategies. And thats only considering energy consumption...

In a comfortable place like Tagaytay, characterized by relatively low temperature. The house will have natural lighting and air flow and strategically employing applications such as double glazing and operable windows with UV-resistant blinds to counter the heat and glare. And also the house will use Bagasse for wallings. Facing the beautiful Taal volcano. The concept of the house , minimalism is to strip everything down to its essential quality and achieve simplicity, the considerations for essences are light, form, detail of material, space, place and human condition.
