Study Notes
Tsalet
- The Tsalet is a single-story suburban home, a two-story house with living quarters on the upper floor, or a raised one-story house.
- It combines Filipino and American elements, with the extended veranda being a defining feature.
- The bedrooms are situated perpendicular to and opposite the entrance and living areas.
- The Tsalet utilizes a combination of cement, sand, and rice husk strengthened with woven bamboo instead of the flammable nipa palm.
Hygiene
- The Tsalet promotes cleanliness and hygiene through the Antipolo toilet system, which features a pit, a seat with a linked pipe, and a ventilation pipe.
- The system differs from traditional toilet practices and helps reduce environmental pollution.
- The Tsalet includes utilities for ventilation, access to clean water, and proper waste disposal, improving sanitary standards.
Impact on Development
- The Tsalet influenced urban development in the Philippines as Sanitary Barrios emerged as precursors to subdivision-style homes.
- These barrios had restricted blocks of partitioned land, with homes built to specific specifications.
