Historical background:
The House of Boix or KASA BOIX, an architectural and heritage jewel at the heart of Manila, was constructed 119 years ago by Don Marciano Teotico. By August 21, 1895 Don Marciano, as what was the law during those times, submitted to the government a plan to build a house of strong materials on Barbosa—now Bautista Street. Indeed, the strength of the house is still evident, as seen from the fact that the house, robed with all its neo-renaissance majesty and unparalleled intricacy, still manages to stand like an old monarch in the midst of all the tides of decades of neglect and urban decadence.

Donations shall be in the form of the entrance fee, which shall start with a hundred pesos. Should you desire to give more, then be proud that you are supporting a very worthy cause. KKBAL Inc., is one group that strongly supports art and historical item restoration and community work aiming to maintain culturally relevant items or places for generations to come and enjoy.
Being the first heritage house to be solar-powered, this is a bridging of two-timelines working hand-in-hand. You get to see the architectural beauty of the place lighted by new technology. This is also one way to see how two sciences (old architecture and new lighting technology) works together, giving justice and inspiration to the purpose that they were made to be.
This event event would not be possible without the generous help of the ADAMSON UNIVERSITY - College of Architecture - under Academic Service Learning (ASL) a community outreach initiative of Adamson University.
