Changes Being A Living House
Home Improvement May 30th, 2010
Although initial structure retaining, by opening some areas, can give a different impression of a home stay.
Old house located in Ciputat numbers (in the complex UI professor) is owned by the family Tanuwidjaja Djohan. Repeated reforms carried out by a team of young architects, the Pavilion 95.
Condition of the old house when viewed from a structural aspect is still pretty good, so the design team thought that the design concept will be taken at first just a face lift (changes in the skin of the building) only. The thought of this design team was approved by the owner, for reasons of lack of funding.
Homeowners who have a ‘sense of art’ is quite unique, the design choices of their residential buildings in the modern and simple concept. Then the owners also felt that the houses they live with her daughter three is too wide. In addition, the wife who has an interest in the arts tend to be introverted in terms of the orientation of the house. So that the emerging challenges for designers is how to bring a new house that is not too broad, without reducing the existing circulation. Development team then carried out by the architect occurred both in terms of space or space filler / furniture.
Initial Condition
The building was built in the early 1980s, consists of one floor. The figure of the building originally looked a bit ‘fat’, with rooms that tend to form elongated and narrow, and includes entrance into the bay. Saddle-shaped roof, big enough and simple. But overall, the arrangement circulation and natural lighting is not so good. The orientation of the building faces north, but the building facade is shielded from the afternoon sun with a lot of trees around it. In addition, this house-shaped coupling that has a classic problem, namely the wall that joined with the neighbors. Proximity to neighbors can menimbulakn noise pollution from the side and rear.
Some of the above is what encourages Djohan to dismantle the house, so it can become a comfortable home for his family. One thing that becomes the primary consideration in doing this is to renovate the building electrical and plumbing problems, which must be dismantled total due to age.
Change Design
By maintaining the main structure of the old house, design team tried to present a ‘cross-over’ new in the house. In addition, they are also trying to strengthen some existing circulation by opening up some areas (walls) long.
Determination of focus-focus of the effort remains in one as (axis) to demonstrate the continuity of space. For example, dining room, pantry, and kitchen are placed in one axis that can be perceived as a unit of space.
Another point of interest that can be directly visible from the entrance is a wall and closet pantry limiting the living room. This barrier cabinets can be seen directly from the living room, because there is no permanent barrier that blocked the view into the house.
While the addition of new walls in this house, but made for the benefit of limiting the neighbor, also made in the main bedroom, terrace, and room service. The wall in the back room, which is only 1 meter away from the neighbors behind the house, it was decided to be a silencer from the back. The hole contained a large window on the wall is closed, replaced by a new wall textured mondrian, with air holes on the bottom. This hole also serves to control the activities of people who use the space behind it, which is used as a drying area. So if a stranger entered must be easily recognizable because of his feet visible from inside the house. With many openings are made wide enough to the rear, the existence of this wall is also used as a ‘scene’ for the dining room and family room.
The inside of the wall is converted into the back porch. Because of the terrace outside the house part, then the owner of the house no longer feels that his house was too broad, because the area has been reduced in space. In addition, the use of transparent polycarbonate roof on the terrace area is indirectly reflect sunlight into the house. So the lighting problems can be overcome.
Detailed Design
Savings funds for design details were trying to do. As the only door frames using wood as a threshold, thus eliminating vertical side jamb. Then use a pair of pivot hinge system which is cheaper than the 3 sets of swing hinges on a standard door frame. But not all doors are made like this, exceptions are made in some units panel doors more severe.
Glossy wood paint used on nearly all wood materials, but can save processing time, is also relatively easy to maintain. Wood panels with duco paint finish and a melamik accent pilhan to form space, as well as to hide the cable channels and closing the old wall surface uneven.
Display House
For the facade of this building, wanted to create something a bit different from the surrounding environment, but not too flashy. Thus the design team trying to present a form of a cube in the front of the house are made by cutting gable. These pieces then balanced again with a flat vertical wall which is marker for the entrance of the house. The entrance is formed from the arrangement of horizontal lines of colored natural wood semi-transparent, which is the focus of the first people when entering the house. Timber arrangement is expected to imply the security and adds warmth to the whole house actually look this cool.
The concept of geometric asymmetry on the building facade is reinforced with grout lines in the aluminum walls of the cube. Nevertheless, the striking impression can be reduced by avoiding the selection of light colors on the face of the building. The colors are chosen to neutralize the atmosphere is white, combined with a warm dark brown as an accent. Thus the emergence of the figure of ‘new neighbors’ in this complex environment did not seem arrogant. Modern simplicity is what you want to show by the designer in the family home Djohan
Waterproofing for Bathroom Floor
Home Improvement May 3rd, 2010
As part of the house that was always wet, the bathroom has the potential to cause problems such as damp and moldy walls or spots on the ceiling. Prior already, prevents this problem by Waterproofing.
Water that seeps in the building resulted in moisture which in the end lead to mold, mole, even more severe damage to the building.

We have a lot of houses are covered Waterproofing walls exposed to outdoor heat and rain. However, in the house there are many parts that should be protected materials on this one. The bathroom is one of them.
Anti upholstery Leaks
Actually, the so-called Waterproofing is a kind of paint that anti-leak. According to Dewi Aledja (PT Shell Indonesia), who familiarly called Kiki, this material prevents the penetration of water on the building causing moisture. Therefore, Waterproofing is usually installed in places prone to water seepage occurs, as in the outer wall of the house, karpusan, guttering, not concrete, and bathroom.
“Waterproofing bituminous based, or which often referred to as asphalt,” said Kiki. With certain techniques, bitumen is used in cold conditions so it has a stronger power closely. Bitumen is then reconstituted with special chemicals or water. “Solvent material made from chemicals are not environmentally friendly. In addition, people may feel dizzy due to these chemicals, “said Kiki. Therefore, according to Kiki should choose a solvent that is made of water.
Waterproofing is divided into two types, namely Waterproofing for in-space and Waterproofing for the outer-space. Type in-space is more economical price because not as hard a task for the outer-space. Waterproofing in-space, among others used in the walls and the bathroom floor.

In the bathroom, the problem most often happens is merembesnya water into the wall or floor. Moreover, most of Indonesia’s bathroom is the bathroom wet, so water is often pooled in a long time. Water that seeps into a problem when rembesannya to the wall outside the bathroom. What’s worse, if the bathroom is located on the 2nd floor, water entering the ground can seep into the ceiling below the floor. As a result, the walls and ceiling become moist and spots arise and grown mushrooms. Of course this is very disturbing scene.
To prevent these problems, someone has to prevent the entry of water into the floor or bathroom wall. Materials that can block the water was Waterproofing. “For the bathroom floor, sheathing is installed under the acian cement used to attach the tiles and the estuary of the floor drain (floor drain),” Kiki said. “Meanwhile, on the bathroom wall to wall coated Waterproofing is a path around the water pipes. This is done to prevent the event merembesnya water leaks, “he explained.
“Woven” To Strength
Bathroom floor upstairs is an area that needs to coated Waterproofing. Way pelapisannya Waterproofing must be considered in order to protect optimally. Based on the sequence, Waterproofing installation on the floor is as follows.
1. On the concrete floor, which was first added to the primary layer. This layer is a mixture of Waterproofing with water, the ratio of 1:1. Mixture added to the concrete floor in the direction of using a brush or roller.
2. After the first primary layer of dry (about 4 hours), then layer Waterproofing without mixture added to the top. How to check whether the first layer is dry or not is by touching the fingertips to the surface Waterproofing. If no material attached to the tip of your finger, then the layer is dry.
3. The third layer just sengan first layer, which is a mixture of water with Waterproofing, the ratio of 1:1. However, this third layer must be added to a different direction with the second layer. If the second layer of horizontal, the third layer must be vertical, and vice versa. This was done so that these layers form a “basket” strong.
4. Before the third layer dry thoroughly, sprinkle sand on it. Sand is useful to bind more strongly to acian attached. Furthermore, in the thick layer of about 2 ml is normally installed tile by using acian.
