Discussion:
Ylang lane townhouse is one of the Luxury, Sustainable houses build by
the Mañosa Properties Inc. located in Ilang-ilang, New Manila, Quezon City.
The townhouse has seven duplexes and single-detached units with a touch
of luxurious Philippines indigenous materials interiors and featuring breezy
open spaces. Each unit rises four story unit with a penthouse and is
surrounded by lush vegetation. The Ylang Lane’s Townhouse manifested an
indigenous landscaping, water conservation features and energy saving
spaces that let in abundant natural lighting and ventilation.

The used of Sun-shading devices can be found in the penthouse. I

observed that they put some curtains or roller blinds in the windows which
clocks sunlight, dust and protects furniture. It may be cheaper but I think
its suits the interior of the house. Another thing that I found is the
horizontal devices in the windows, I think it is a Horizontal louvre in vertical
plane which allows the sunlight to shine in a window while keeping moisture
out. There is also an Egg-Crate device attached in the wall near the exterior
windows along with the horizontal louvre, applying this kind of sun-shading
device is efficient since Philippines has a Hot Climate during summer which
helps to lessen the direct heat coming from the sunlight. Lastly, the
landscape sun-shading in the penthouse which helps the house to be
protected from the heat.
