The Philippines is facing a severe housing crisis, with many families unable to find affordable homes. Cubo Modular offers an eco-friendly solution with prefabricated homes made from sustainable materials. These quick, affordable homes provide a green answer to the housing shortage, helping more Filipinos secure safe living spaces while protecting the environment.
Zahra Zanjani, CEO of Cubo Modular, set out to redefine sustainable housing in the Philippines with a simple yet revolutionary idea: fast, affordable, and eco-friendly homes. With her construction background and passion for environmental conservation, Zanjani’s goal was clear: to provide high-quality, accessible housing solutions across the country, even in remote areas.
“[Our goal is] to provide an alternative building solution, at least in the Philippines. Our technology is proprietary, not just here but worldwide. It focuses on three main principles—speed, scalability, and sustainability,” shared Zanjani.
Cubo Modular focuses on creating prefabricated homes using eco-friendly materials, including engineered bamboo, which can be assembled in just a few days, offering a sustainable approach to building. Inspired by the traditional Filipino "bahay kubo," these modular homes combine nostalgia with modern appeal, tailored to both the environment and local culture.
To keep construction costs low, Cubo focuses on speed and logistics, delivering homes to 26 provinces nationwide with just a truck—reaching even areas without electricity or water. Their eco-friendly approach is vital, as the construction materials industry accounts for 11 percent of global carbon emissions. Cubo’s models offer fast, scalable construction, with smaller units ready in as little as five days, and their bestseller in two weeks once delivered and site-ready. Customization may take extra time, but the process is as simple as ordering online at a restaurant through their website.
Cubo’s models range from the 20.5 sqm Bulacan compact loft, the 23.5 sqm Romblon studio for young couples, and the 45 sqm Sarangani one-bedroom, two-loft home for a family of four, to the 66.5 sqm Bohol one-bedroom, one-loft home, the 84.5 sqm Rizal three-bedroom home for a family of six, and the 95.5 sqm Surigao three-bedroom home, also for a family of six. Each includes a bedroom, shower, and kitchen countertop, with upgrades for air conditioning and solar power, all fully customizable to suit your needs. Cubo’s designs, ranging from budget-friendly units to spacious family homes, can grow with a family’s evolving needs, whether adding an extra bedroom or a study area.
To kick off its anniversary promotion, Cubo is offering a buy-one, take-one deal on its popular 15 sqm Batangas model from November 11 to December 11, 2024. This compact yet functional unit is perfect for new homeowners or those seeking extra space.
With fast assembly, flexible layouts, and affordable financing, Cubo is setting a new standard for sustainable housing—one modular kit at a time. For Zanjani and her team, Cubo Modular represents more than just a housing solution; it's a step toward a greener, more accessible future for Filipino homeowners.
