Traditional apayao or isneg home; also known as binuron. Elevated rectangular one-room building protected by a high-pitch thatch resembling a pointed barrel vault (also an inverted hull). The windows are small and only one door provides access from the ground floor to the first floor. Binurons was once widespread throughout the islands but now exists only in a few villages. It is still used for housing royalty and other important people. The oldest known binuron is located in Matnog, Bohol. It was built about 1650 by King Sinangal. The structure is 24 feet long by 12 feet wide with an elevated floor area of 100 square feet. There are no windows and just one opening for entrance and exit. The roof is made of coconut leaves covered with rice straw thatched over the top. The word "binuron" comes from the Visayan words biniwa which means two and roun which means room. Thus, it means "two rooms". It is not uncommon to see houses today that have been converted into museums. These types of structures are called manjares (pronounced mah-NARE-eh) or herb gardens in Spanish. The most famous museum within a manjare is probably the Museo de Buona Ventura in Laguna.
