Quell The Summer Heat: Quintessential Homes For an Ideal Staycation

A country’s climate is a major factor in determining how its citizens thrive. This is especially evident in the interior designs of the houses, such as the mandatory furnaces and fireplaces in colder regions or the large open windows to cool down the huts in the warmer areas. 

In the Philippines’ case, its positioning above the equator causes Filipinos to adapt to a tropical climate. According to PAGASA, the dry season starts in December, with the highest humidity levels in the summer months which lasts from March to May. Filipinos would often temporarily leave their closed-door homes and book a vacation to the beach or the mountains for some fresh air. Others would spend a day or two in hotels to cool off from the sweltering heat. 

While these are good solutions, a research article in Aerosol and Air Quality Research states that the average Filipino in Metro Manila spends 52% of their time indoors during the weekdays and 70% during the weekends, which is why it is more practical to improve the ventilation to cool down the temperatures of your own homes during summer. Architecture is continuously adapting to the environmental conditions, as each climate has specific needs in balancing temperature and air. In a tropical country, such as the Philippines, such advice is helpful in the long run due to the naturally warm environment.
