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

The presence of certain plants to protect us from ultraviolet rays, heat and dust pollution and dirty air. The effect is clearly more obvious when you put the plants can absorb pollutants. Families become protected, healthier and more comfortable at home. View house can become a unique garden accent wall.

Today, many developed wall garden design. This term also varies. Green façade, green wall, vertical garden, a wall of life and topiade are some terms and developments. Not only in the normal wall, wall sculpture garden can be coated or building functions as a second skin to reduce solar radiation. Plants that are used to form a border of plants and shrubs are arranged in each plantation box / pot vertically.

Preparation can be done on a shelf or rack structure. Shelves can be made from wood, bamboo or metal. materials Choose pots / plantation like a plastic light box. Choose a lightweight planting media and also saves water because it will protect your family from the sun.

Steps to create a garden wall:

1. Determine the dimensions of the walls of plant you want to create. Select the area that the sun a lot / to handle the pollution to optimally protect the family. Rack is still in the soil so that water can excessive watering immediately fell to the ground, to give a density of rocks neatly at the bottom. If not, the plan is to trench the ground. Shelf metal materials can be durable or environmentally friendly bamboo.
2. If the wall is quite high and difficult to watered every day, preparing for the installation of sprinkler pipe / capillary tube or pipe / hose is used to hide.
3. Plan rack size module that will be created. Usually, border plants / 20×20 cm 30×60 cm for standard-sized short shrubs. Select the appropriate plant and pot / planter boxes. Growing media can be selected so as not to burden the shelves lightweight and easy maintenance, such as gel, coconut bark, stems, ferns, seaweed, charcoal and rice husk.
4. Choose pots / boxes made of plastic such as plantation of light. Feel free to experiment with different colors and textures to display a unique pot. Customize your colors with shelves and walls around.
5. In the market started to grow back wall of many outstanding parks that allow plants to grow horizontally, thereby creating a closed wall filled with plants. The selected plants may not distribute / hang so you can make more free.

Olehkarena composed only of one color only, in combining elements need to be considered monochromatic color tone. The result, terciptakan gradations from dark gray to light gray, like the bathroom in the next photo.

In some designs of houses in Indonesia, this monochromatic color became popular when the style of “minimalism” trend. Until now, several architects and space designers still use it diligently.

In the bathroom at the photo, made monochromatic color gradation from dark to light areas inside out. Application among others in the wall of the room.

To eliminate the impression of monotony, placing some room accessories, such as luisan on the walls, and green plants in some corner of the room. Thus terciptakan a bathroom that is not only fresh in the body, but also fresh in the eyes. by: Dewi Kartini-ideaonline

Among the reasons for the benefits and usefulness of the park that I mentioned above, should be seen that the park has many functions and benefits. Not just a place to plant flowers, not just a place laid pebble grain, not just a place to put some chairs and tables to sit and enjoy something. But more than that, the park serves as a place to socialize, socializing will occur from frequent social interaction (between family members, neighbors or anyone else) that impact on increasing the maturity level of the psychological condition of the owner and people around him.

Many things can be done to make the garden look more beautiful and attractive. Adding various accessories, such as the gazebo, fish pond, or pergola. On occasion this time, I will discuss about the gazebo as an additional sweetener akasesoris in the park. Number of choices of form, composition, and design, of course must be chosen, the most suitable for your home garden.

Like the composer element of a building, gazebo, is also considered as the result of a work of art. Each element and the parts arranged like a song lyrics with perfect tone composition. Imagine if you gather with your family members, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the beautiful park while enjoying hot tea over there .. The presence of the gazebo, will give the impression itself, because there will be interaction between family members, and of course in the process of interaction is expected to improve the quality of life and family harmony. Harmony and happiness Is not that what we really need?

Historically, gazebo, not something new for the Indonesian people. Since the first? gazebo, often used to sit lesehan relaxed, talked about many things. Based on the function, the gazebo is often used to sit relaxed, chatting with neighbors, to hold a wedding or birthday, or just staring at the sky, often referred to as the bale is empty. However, according to current developments, gazebo, slowly changing function of the complement of accessories to enhance the aesthetic value and beauty sebuh home. So sometimes appear assumption that someone who has a gazebo, the house will be included in a class of its own.

Maybe luxury homes in the same group, because the gazebo, which was placed in the front yard area for use by homeowners. I personally do not understand why this belief arise? whereas if judged on the basis of price, gazebo, it’s not expensive. From my analysis, make this assumption because the gazebo, you must have a rear garden, side or in front of your home and garden needs space / additional land, which means you must have a fairly wide area, and land the City (large) is very expensive. Instead of buying additional land, amid an increasingly difficult economic conditions like now, for some funds may be more useful to meet other basic needs (eg for education expenses or college tuition for their children).

Gazebo design, was built separately from the main building (house), a stand-alone diarea park and designs vary. But in general, gazebo, can be recognized from the basic form of the roof, pillars without walls finished, and the height of the floor a slightly higher elevation than the surrounding ground surface.

To model the gazebo, is divided into two models. classical model-classic and modern. For the gazebo, with the classical model is relatively easy to recognize, because its design resembles a traditional Javanese building or structure that applies a lot of traditional Balinese carvings or ornaments. While the result of the integration model of modern-classic style is marked by a simple, no matter the detail on buildings, and sky, which impressed the floor surface flat / flat. actually there is no school or special names in the gazebo, because the gazebo, are generally designed to design the main building / house. If the art deco design house, gazebo also art deco, or if your home is contemporary, contemporary gazebo models.

gazebo is usually in the form of geometric, square hexagon, or circle. For its construction, usually gazebo made permanent, although there are also made with models that can be moved, such as the gazebo is made of aluminum or bamboo. made in Indonesia and many are exported to overseas. .

Lastly, To you who have a garden, or have the land space in front, behind, or beside the house, preparing the budget funds to make or buy a gazebo. Not only for the views or dipamarkan, but for your happiness and family members. You are interested to have a gazebo,?

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.

The existence of the corridor at the side of this modern style house become increasingly significant as the porch for relaxing. The architect, Robert Oswald, process the waste material from the project. Materials that are composed membentukteras which function as a reading and sitting room.

Terrace size 2.5 mx2, 5m was effective, visible from the view access to the living room, entrance gate, and a small pond beside the patio.

On the side of the terrace there 2mx0 sized pool, 5m. There are accents of three small concrete block 10cmx10cmx20cm in the pool, which serves as a space filler composition. Swimming is not too large it can add quality to become more comfortable space. Leisure Terrace is also inseparable from the role of iron pergola covered with vines Thumbergia type sp. Plants create a shady terrace. The flowers also provide white accents that enhance the visual space.

There are also plants the iris, which becomes limiting and sweetening the edge of the porch. Terrace forms a versatile boxes become more gentle with the presence of iris and rustic stone floors. Game stone pattern, between pedestrian and terrace, affects the formation of the impression space displacement; from the corridor to the terrace as a space “receiver”

In fact, during the hot summer, using a canopy (awning) to block the heat, you can create as many as 65% discount on your energy bill on windows facing south and as high as 77% on the windows to the east and west. Canopies are great protectors for trim around windows. Usually, when the sun shines on the wood, day after day with the rain, the wood can rot and warped. However, by using a canopy, the wood is protected.

A canopy will protect outdoor furniture on your terrace or deck, leave your windows during a mid-summer rain, reduce glare on computer screens and televisions, and best of all, they add a nice decorative touch to the aesthetics of home.

You’ll discover that awnings are usually made of fabric or aluminum. The awnings made from fabric do require a little more maintenance than an aluminum awning but also offer a better variety of color and shape. Aluminum awnings are low maintenance, sturdy, and provide a retro look.

The fun of whatever material awnings is that they both are designed to withstand high winds and heavy weather. Although a tornado or hurricane can be too much, you can be sure that most high winds will not damage the awning. In determining the size of the awning to buy, it’s really down to your personal preference. But you also want the amount of energy you need.

For example, if you add an awning on the windows to the east or west, if you want a drop from 65% to 75%. For going up awnings on south facing windows, you want the drop to be shorter, ranging from 45% to 60% coverage. Remember that window and door canopies are versatile in that they can be installed with or without side walls.

In addition Roll up and retractable awnings are an excellent choice in that they block out the sun during the hot summer months, but then the warm sun shine during the winter. The bigger the canopy, the more protection you will achieve and when you plan to install the awning on your patio or deck, the retractable model is most useful.(architectaria)

One way to overcome these problems is by designing and placing an open park in the building (inner courtyard), between the spaces which have no direct relationship with the area and the outside air. Park open dibagian placed center of the building will provide air and natural lighting for the room at the time of day.

The size of these parks do not need too big, just provide enough space, approximately 1 mx 1m, 1 mx 2 mx 2 m or 2 m. That must be considered is the park directly connected with the outside air, without cover, are not covered. If you are worried that occurs when rain falls tampias, use of fiber roof that passed the light, and provide a large cavity for air circulation.

Park in the house did not have to be filled by the plants / vegetation is too dense, the composition of the park could be dominated by rocks, Peebles, or can with a combination of water (ponds) and water plants (lotus, etc.). Spaces adjacent to the park is given the maximum exposure possible. Ventilation large, wide glass windows or sliding doors that create an opening towards the garden grew, so the intensity of light and circulation more smoothly towards the room.

If the design of your home building lot in the middle of the room that has no source of lighting and natural penghawaan, then you should add some open park spaces around them. The middle of the room so that the building was still a supply of fresh air and natural lighting during the day at a time when.(architectaria)

By making the park above the roof, storey buildings can still have a green open space, because there is space efficiency. Park above the roof (roof garden) is as an alternative reforestation to improve the quality of a large city environmental health. Currently, only a few five-star hotel in central Jakarta which has a garden on the roof (roof garden).

Making the park above the roof (roof garden) is not cheap and need structure and specific roof construction. Even for optimal results, the construction of the roof to the garden was designed from the beginning, before the building was built. However, this investment can come back in a few years later, because the cost of electricity for air conditioning is reduced, and increases the economic value of the building.

A private hospital in Singapore managed to reduce electricity consumption by 50 percent, after a garden above the roof (roof garden). Although the roof garden was just a tomato plant, which is placed in the pot to cover the entire roof. Another advantage, the hospital did not have to buy tomatoes again.

In addition to the shade, the park above the roof (roof garden) can also be used to absorb toxic gases. Eg bamboo or palm can absorb formaldehyde gas and gasoline. While plant daffodils, in addition to absorbing formaldehyde gas and gasoline, as well as alcohol and acetone to absorb the resulting paint and so on. Vines also serve to absorb the gas acetate, ammonia, and other gases. Because of this function, widely used vines to the garden on the roof (roof garden) in foreign countries such as Singapore and Japan.

How to Build Roof Above Park
Before making a rooftop garden, first consider the construction of the building roof. Is it designed to support medium load of soil and planting trees will be planted on it or not. Because the park above the roof (roof garden) should be supported roof structures and strong construction.

The existence of the park above the roof (roof garden) will lead to increased load. Piles of soil and plants will increase the dead load, wind load, and the additional burden of water on the roof of the building. The building must have a drainage system that works well.

If the type of shrubs to be planted, he will take the roof load increased by about 650 kg/m2. Plus live load according to activity on the roof garden. For example, 400 kg / m 2 for sports, 500 kg/m2 for the party and dance, as well as 250 kg / m 2 for restaurants.

To plant a large tree, the location of the floor plate to the structural columns that supported the concrete plates do not collapse. In addition, retaining walls need to be made the ground because the tree requires a sufficient thickness of soil, or make a hole in the roof of the building, under a tree.

Construction of a roof leak-prone, and should be equipped with drainage channels. Drainage layer such as gravel, sand, and pumice stone should be added to the water easily flows into the drain hole. Filter made of geo-textiles or fibers to function under the water to keep the grain land but not to clog the drain.

To prevent damage to water-resistant coating (water proof layer), barrier layers must be added to the plant roots do not damage the waterproof coating and the concrete underneath.

Because plants exposed above the roof of direct sunlight and the wind faster, watering should be done regularly. Spraying water that it needs to be done manually or automatically.

For the planting medium, the formula should be light but have the ability to provide nutrients and moisture. For example, by mixing sand with a layer of wood shavings added pine bark and manure. The depth of planting medium for the grass requires 20 to 30 centimeters, as well as cover crops. Meanwhile, shrubs and small trees require 60-105 inches deep. Large trees to a depth of almost 2 meters.(architectaria)
