    Bahay na bato are designed with large windows and open floor
    plans to promote natural ventilation and cooling, crucial in
    the tropical climate of the Philippines.

    In areas prone to flooding, raised wooden walkways connect


    different parts of the house, providing elevated pathways during
    heavy rains.

    Bahay na bato often feature elevated living areas known as


    "silong" or "sala" to protect against floods and provide
    ventilation.
