Nipa houses are popular in Southeast Asian countries not only because countries in Southern are tropical, and the fact that coconut trees and other woods are abundant but also because of the way of living in the country. Natives from the country Philippines earn a living through farming, so most of them live in a house made of Nipa. A simple yet relaxing place to hang-out and live compared to an ordinary house. Although, such houses are not capable of defending you from strong typhoons but surely it will give you enough ventilation when it’s hot.

People may think that when one lives in a Nipa, you do not have enough money to spend for your mansion-like homes or perhaps just a home built with bricks and cement. They think such because obviously, you do not have to spend much for the materials needed instead you just make use of the nipa leaves. Well, I personally believe that whether you live in such houses, mansion like or just a nipa all that just matters is how you design your houses, how you live with it, and above all, how you make your houses a HOME.
