    size of house

    the lot is some near to 900 M2 and the house has two floors of which I have only shown you the kliving room , that is a part of it. Actual size is bigger the kitchen is huge ( and nice).
    Don,t get me wrong it is rented , but complety rehabilitated with my own hands and all furniture comes from The Netherlands..

    You certainly did a great job. But do you feel comfortable investing all that money in a rented house? I suppose you locked in a long term stay?

    No Gomez . I am here with a task to build with grants from the EU and UN Habitat support houses for the less fortuned under the local people. Next year it will all be reveiled. At the same time and within the same technology that do not use hollowblocs , plywood, concrete ,wood or hardiplex nor gisumboard , I will build our own house..

    Your task in the Republic is very commendable. May your tribe prosper.
    I am very intrigue though as to what materials you will be using for these habitat houses. If it is not a trade/corporate secret, could you please give us more info about these houses. Thanks.

    hosuing projects Negros

    Well this one is for cactus flower though it should not yet be public...
    Anyway , I will not let you into the construction technique and materials used.
    I can tell you this . It is under patent in the EU , USA , Saudi Arabia and next year also in The Phils. The house are GUARANTEED to sustain for more then 60 years , but expectation grow to over 90 years even ,thus more then twice the maximum life time of of Hollowblock house.Testing have been done by the formost institute of the T N O in the Netherlands.
    FULLY FIREPROOF and even important proof against termites ( Anay ) and BokBok .
    The innovation company from the Netherlands is honored with a handsome grant for estabishing business here , plus awarded by the Ministery of interior and the one of housing..
    The houses build here will be modest and smaller then this one. ( 76 M2)
    As you see the whole is very light aswell. A special crane can lift it up in the sky.
    This method of building will result in 50% cost reduction on materials and time spend on building.
