VOLADA
– An outward projection of a bahay na bato; an elaborate system of windows that consists of transom, sliding capis window, and ventanilla.
To experts in the history of the Philippine architecture, the term volada refers to a gallery that encloses the front and sides of the upper floor of a typical bahay na bato. A prominent and important section of any residential structure in the Spanish Philippines, it protects the rooms and the residents of the house from the extreme weather and harsh outdoor temperature. Along the volada is a complex system of windows which, when opened, allows the heat of the sun to penetrate and provide warmth to the property’s interior, as well as the cool breeze to even out the rooms’ temperature and give off a more relaxing and comfortable indoor ambiance.

It all started with the love of the Philippine architecture.
In the year 2010, in a quaint, carefully preserved ancestral house in Calle Barbosa, Quiapo, Manila, a handful of history and architecture enthusiasts were gathered by their shared interests – the fascination for the lavish architectural design of the Spanish-inspired bahay na bato and how its intricate details and fine furnishings portray the rich and colorful lifestyle of the past. Enthralled yet saddened by the reality that many ancestral houses that had stood the test of time are either overlooked or undervalued, these individuals had vowed to protect these architectural masterpieces from being forgotten and becoming bygones of the distant past.
