However, before making the settings, you’ll want to listen to a few important notes delivered an interior designer home interior small anies Alkurratu Aini Walsh. Anies explains, there are at least six aspects must be considered when one wants to set the interior of the house, namely:

1. Ergonomic aspects

In restructuring the interior of the house, anything that is made to be comfortable for the human body. For example, using the light does not cause the eye to be blind, or choose a sofa as a place to sit down with part of the right holder.

2. Aspects of health

Furniture that is chosen as the interior of the house should pay attention to that aspect because it affects the body’s health and the health of occupants in it. You should pay attention to the material, which should be safe from toxic substances. Choose furniture that does not bear the smell of dust and store vulnerable.

3. Security aspects

In addition to health, safety should also be considered, especially if you have a child who is still in its infancy. Calls, for example, avoiding the use of furniture with sharp edges or corners, checking, and provide protection for electrical terminals or cables.

4. Aspects of comfort

Convenience is also important in regulating the small interior of your home. Do not be tempted to buy furniture for low prices, but not comfortable giving the body effect. Convenience also means convenient for citizens to move freely so that the right choice of furniture that can be aware of this aspect, such as furniture that attaches to the wall (the building).

5. Environmentally friendly aspects

Before realizing this aspect in the environment outside the home, the first thing you should realize that inside the house. For example, you make a small house that gets enough light, get fresh air circulation, place the plants in space, not humid, and not stuffy.

6. Aspects of beauty

Five aspects mentioned above must also be coupled with the beauty aspect. This aspect is necessary so that in addition to comfort, this house is also wonderful to see people so comfortable to linger in the house. This can be done by treating the walls of the house, not just by using paint, but can also be combined with wallpaper or shelf. source: kompas.com

Precast buildings include both mobile and trailer, modular structure. They can be collected in the building has been constructed. In exceptional cases, they even can be mounted on concrete base is not. No wonder Prefabricated Buildings considered very useful by the disaster areas where temporary structures should be established to shelter and supplies. Even in earthquake prone areas prefer to have prefabricated buildings because they are lighter in weight and cost less. And if for some reason the building is required only for a very short time, it makes sense to go in prefabricated structures.

Many of the structures of steel or metal buildings, including schools, apartments, offices, retail stores, fast food joints, guard booths, doors, toll gates, barn equipment, smoke shelters sports arenas, observation towers, the ticket offices, kiosks parking, storage buildings, dairy buildings horseback riding facilities, recreational areas and military institutions are often carried out using prefabricated technology.

To create a home with low cost, prefabricated materials such as straw, Ferro cement calcium silicate product, the composite materials and other wood-based low cost in use today. Calcium silicate bricks are strong and durable. Ferro-cement comprising the cement matrix reinforced with close-mesh wire or iron bars. In this type of construction, the technique used is simple and quick.

Prefabricated buildings can be assembled quickly, sometimes within a few hours. They come from different facilities, including power cables, doors, windows, shelves and bulletproof windows climate control system. Most manufacturers offer a range of years for structural damage, leakage, and wind loads. They can even be made in several stories. You can choose wall panels, frames and columns, floors, ceiling, doors and windows. In addition to the suggestions, they are available in several colors.

By using prefabricated materials, we can fix our house, we can be sustainable, water and fire resistant and low-cost prefabricated buildings. Most prefabricated building materials such as steel or metal cleaner and more affordable.

But there are some weaknesses in prefabricated buildings. They tend to depreciate faster than home construction sites because they are not too popular. In addition, the emergence of prefabricated buildings which do not offer a variety of buildings built on site using traditional methods.

Most of the prefabricated buildings sold by dealers, but some manufacturers sell directly between them. Where do you buy, check the manufacturer’s reputation into contact with the references and ask about their experiences. It is best to take quotes from several suppliers before you complete your order.

There was something odd about trends in architecture. The trend actually has a temporary nature, short, for a moment, a moment while the architecture or the building will stand in a long time. So, not just when the architecture is categorized as a trend.

Even so, the architecture is not yet out of the bond trends. Somehow the beginning of architecture can be coupled with the trend. Perhaps because there is no in-depth research. Here, there is the role of property developer with the media, which gave birth to the term architectural trends.

With the trend of architecture, the property developer easier and directed in
sell products. What the origin joined the trend, then the property must be sold. Similarly, the media architecture. By discussing the architectural trends, the media will sell because people want to know what kind of architectural trends that, regardless of whether the meaning is conveyed about the trend is right or wrong.

For example, the trend of minimalist architecture was still warm sound. Is the property being sold to as minimalist really minimalist? Proved more wrong, although there are also property developers who provide insight into the true minimalist. What can easily be called a minimalist to do, although nothing really minimalist. Curiously again, there was a time people can be proud indeed happy to buy the property in accordance with the hum of minimalist architecture trends in order not to be considered obsolete.

If it had been explained that the trend is temporary, fleeting, a moment, a moment, a minute there are hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of owners of buildings that will be obsolete. Whereas the original purpose of buying it because they do not want to miss time. Then, whether the building will be demolished or sold again? Well, that would not be demolished. In addition to new, this building you know, not the clothes that can easily be donated. Sale behavior was probably due to lack of suitable tide again with the latest trends. Well, starting obviously, is not it, that the architecture and the trend is in fact not be matched?

From there will be no ‘victim’, and who became a victim not only property owners, but also the architecture itself. When not in accordance with what the latest trends, as if it had arsitekturjenis not good enough anymore. Minimalist would – or even been considered ugly, outdated, outmoded. Yet not even the meaning of minimalist correctly understood by the public. So, whether minimalist architecture was a bad time? Actually no. ‘Poor’ was there, just in the wrong perception by the victim of the term architectural trends.

Minimalist architecture is actually one of the major currents in the history of architecture that has existed since the early 1900′s, not the result of property developers engineering temporary. So, people who bought the building which really minimalist because really liked her or in accordance with the character and lifestyle, do not worry and do not need to hear what the word “architecture trends” ‘.

From now on the word “trend” and “architecture” when put together should be quotation marks, so as not to confuse and mislead. Because of my knowledge, trends and architecture never married, as long as it was just fixed up, and really did not destined for a different nature.

What is’ architectural trends 2010 “is? Not too important, is not it? But there was something important enough to ponder together. “Trends architecture” should no longer be used as a benchmark. Far more important is the search for understanding more and more about architecture as an appropriate step for the whole community, not just for architects. Architectural media’s role becomes increasingly important to provide more understanding, more depth, and certainly more correct, about the architecture actually has a very broad scope.

In the context of residential architecture, translating the unique characteristics of the clan of their respective owners house house of architecture is a more appropriate choice than to just follow the trend. Diversity characteristic of Indonesian society will expand the choice of residential architectural character. Opportunity to be themselves through the formation of their respective houses will encourage the development of architecture exploration property without being limited by the “trend of architecture”.

Global environmental conditions are currently more damage would also need to be addressed. Energy efficient, environmentally friendly, sustainable clan, should be a guide since the beginning of planned residential design. The longer these things should no longer be special to talk about, but the basic requirements that should exist, as well as lighting and natural ventilation. The cheaper the application, it will be more sustained and greater impact on this earth.

With little cost, will be more and more people are able to apply sustainable architecture. By default, it is accelerating the healing process of the earth that “being sick” is. The cheaper the cost to build, the more money that can be set aside for other environmental improvement or greater for other humanitarian purposes.

Although actually capable of, it never hurts to reduce berhernat clan little luxury residential values. If only every home (luxury) can be reduced and set aside 10 percent-25 percent of the value of his house for the benefit of the environment or the poor, environmental course of daily life will be worth more beautiful clan becomes much greater than that obtained without the luxury of setting aside some of the costs. Is not the city where we live the more beautiful will be fun to dlan lived if the environmental damage that already exists can be improved bit by bit?

There’s more buried treasure which could be a choice for the progress of architecture in Indonesia. Perhaps no one denies that Indonesia is a very rich country which is managed by one, so that people become poor. These include poor public recognition of the potential wealth of value locality of traditional architecture.

If the values in the traditional architecture of Indonesia there were so many – which probably most of the world – a source of inspiration for contemporary architecture! F. Silaban, one of the great architects of the Sukarno era, once said that in the traditional architecture, is not taken shape, but learned his soul. Maybe it’s the right attitude to develop, namely the adaptation, not a duplication or replication.

Physical characteristics, philosophical meaning, adaptation to climate, local materials, natural potential, and traditional ornaments, is an example of a series of local, meaning that each can be a source of wealth of exploration. Architecture is not about mere physical form. When we returned to use fashion as an example, the adaptation process of batik is very successful. Traditional batik material which can be applied to the various works with the latest fashion clothing is so beautiful. At this time, batik is very loved by all walks of society. And the beauty and richness of batik was there all the time.

Although not as fully with the architecture, but something like that should be local nilainilai adaptation of contemporary architecture. Does not have a traditional look physically, but contains local maknamakna origins can be traced. Exploration of the property value locality in Indonesia to contemporary architectural design, I am sure will be able to produce world-class architecture karyakarya.

Antony Rhodes Rubin who built this villa reveals, the Mertasari mimic concept Jimbar Stone Estate, the first tropical housing in Bali on the 21st century, which combined with modern concept. “We use natural materials from Indonesia, except for kitchen appliances,” said Rubin told Kompas.com Antony, who visited his villa in Sanur, Bali, and the end of January 2010.

The elements of this building presents eco-real property, as reflected in the use of wood, energy savings (electricity and air conditioning) and wastewater recycling / waste.

The Mertasari built refers to the concept of harmonization is believed to be the people of Bali, known as Tri Hita Karana, the harmonious relationship between man and God, man and man, and man and nature.

Tropical architecture first developed in the Stone Jimbar housing estate in Sanur, Bali. Donald Friend, Geoffrey Bawa, and Peter Müller and Kerry Hills with their local partners to develop this concept in the early 1970s in Bali. This concept of separate “living room” and “bedroom” with a garden in between. They use materials local natural materials from Indonesia. New architecture of Sanur is then spread throughout Bali and also throughout the world quickly. This architectural movement known internationally as “Tropical Asian Style”
The main principle of this tropical architecture aims to create harmonization in the house, living room and separate bedroom and open, with a garden full of plants and trees, and natural pools. The Mertasari combines Balinese tradition of the past and “hi-tech” modern into a harmonious blend.
“In The Mertasari, we want to show Bali is a paradise of culture and environment. Designers and consultants prefer to use local ingredients with international standards for green building. The building is controlled by the intelligent home systems that help minimize the use of electricity and air conditioning for more efficient energy use . Also take advantage of lighting techniques, which refers to the traditional concept of Bali, “said Antony.

Not only that. Floor of the house using natural materials with beautiful texture. Meanwhile, bathroom made of natural stones local. Sleeping room with walls made transparent so that the occupant can feel the natural atmosphere immediately outside it.
The Mertasari free of chemicals, with natural swimming pools and water parks are cleaned through sterilization system. The water was safe to drink straight. It’s only natural because the Mertasari using U.S. Green Building standards and guidelines for the development Balinese, Tri Hita Karana is prioritizing harmonization and balance.

Antony Rhodes was a British Rubin, began his career as a surveyor in the City of London, before switching to komodiri trade business in Asia. After coming to Bali, Antony fell in love with Bali and lived here more than 10 years, until then take him into the global hospitality business.
When designing the Mertasari, assisted by architect Antony Bali, Ketut Arthana, Gavin Essex, Ketut Hardika, Anthony Shishler, DSaryl Parker, and Mathiey Gander. Ketut who studied Urban Estate Management from Westminster University, have designed a hotel in Taiwan, resorts in St. Martin, Costa Rica, and the Maldives, and private homes in Hawaii, the U.S. and Japan, as well as a number of villas, hotels, and spas in Indonesia.
Kompas.com visited Villa actually examples (mocked-up) The Mertasari villa built in an area of 1700 square meters. The plan, to be built 17 villas on the same area of four hectares of land at the Beach Mertasari.

What’s interesting about this villas are so many “secret door” that created so that guests did not think the wall nearby is a “secret door”. Behind the “secret door” is, there is the reading room, library, cigar room and wine.

Then how much it costs spent to build the villa The Mertasari this? “I can not say that. But you can count yourself because we use the best materials. All this must be my crazy idea, which later manifested in the form of villas you can see now,” said Antony. (Robert Adhi KSP).(www.kompas.com)

Structure design of the roof-storey main building with a wall of tropical gin-gin concrete. Actually, the horses of wood or steel roof can also be used, but the gin-gin chosen for the interior ceiling is designed to follow the slope of the roof. The use of gin-gin is expected to give the impression of clean and spacious.

Because there klerestori (windows near the roof), it is necessary to have an additional beam to sustain it. Another roof design is the additional roof or eaves of the block structure consoles, such as on balconies or windows in the basement.

Ventilation holes placed
The principle of air flow in home building is a cross ventilation can be achieved by placing openings opposite each other and different sizes. The way it can make a difference so that the air pressure can flow (the principle of the wind).

The movement of air in the tropical house design in order to flow horizontally and vertically. Horizontal flow in the tropical house design is due to the windows and ventilation holes are located opposite each other on the two sides of the wall. In addition, there is also klerestori, the window located at the top of the wall attached just below the roof. Each floor has openings, all shaded by the roof eaves to avoid tampias.

Opening Some Floor
Need a void for air flow vertically. Voids can be formed as part of the floor on the floor 2 and 3 left open (mezanin floor). The combination klerestori void and can make the hot air into the space can be lifted up (by void) and exit through klerestori (such as the air flow in the chimney) so the air inside a cooler.

In addition to the air flow, voids useful to incorporate natural light transmitted to the floor below. The effect of the loss of the floor also creates a tropical atmosphere and wide open. source www.arsitekturrumah.com

Composition between the use of ethnic and modern design is very flexible, depending on the perception of wants and needs as desired. composition can be 50:50 or 75:25, depending on taste, but the ethnic composition should be less likely because the simple, modern design, with identical design elements that many geometrical space, the form of design and function of the color and form of the dynamic. Meanwhile, ethnic designs are complicated, because the design is full of detail and ornament that usually take inspiration from the culture of a place that characterized the use of natural materials, arts and crafts culture. So, if combined with the portion of the same ethnic designs will be more visible than the modern design. When the second design is combined with the 75:25 composition, the regulation will create a more elegant and homy.

Ethnic design in modern ethnic regulation must not appear in full in the interior space. Use accessories and jewelry ethnic themed decorations such as ethnic-style paintings, sculptures ethnic theme, such as sculpture jawa, Asmat sculpture, and other elements, such as batik, a traditional cloth is a way to give the ethnic accents in spatial ethnic, modern style. Or vice versa, the presence of modern accents such as trinkets, modern lighting, modern abstract painting, combined with ethnic furniture. such as chairs and antique tables that form the modern ethnic interior rooms that provide a unique character, and interesting contrast.

In addition, modern ethnic design also can also be combined with simple, modern or classic, such as sofa, table and almari with the use of bright colors blend with the ethnic elements such as trinkets and paintings in the spatial. There are also well equipped with the placement of dots lighting such as table lamp or wall lamp at various angles in a room with unique shapes such as cone, and the ball can be a decorative element in the modern ethnic regulation. Space to form a comfortable atmosphere and warm, choose the yellow rays of light, eg fluorescent lamp, the lamp hologen, spotlight or lamp downlight yellow rays.

Modern ethnic designs can also be formed using the composition of pastel colors, such as natural beige, beige, and brown with accents of ethnic accessories pelepah plaited banana, pandanus and rattan can provide the atmosphere of ethnic, modern elegant.
To get the effect of modern design in managing ethnic space requires the courage to experiment in combining some form, with fixed attention to the color harmony and balance of elements in space is the key to the success of modern spatial ethnic. Design is a design to apply to stay in the house. Do not be afraid to try to apply modern ethnic desan regulation in your interior! please try!
