The whole thing is a do-it-yourself assemblage affair: the recycled hardwoods in beams and doors come from old Binondo houses in Manila, while the "staircase" up to the children's private loft is a giant sculptural arrangement of polished molave logs of uneven height. The crooked trunk of a balayong tree doubles up as the dining table, and overhead, a large technicolor frieze by Ramon illustrates the story of the Philippine Seas, from genesis to marine richness to degeneration. This colorful natural art collection extends to the lanai: On display are a giant galleon steering wheel, nautical lamps, a swordfish's skeletal snout, and seashells embedded in the framework of windows, mirrors and counters. Silvana calls it "pulot-pulot (pick-up) art": there's a farmer's wooden araro (plow) and a carabao harness on the wall; a wooden trough for a fruit bowl; fresh coconuts in a mortar; and big barnacle shells used as accents here and there.
