Real Estate December 24th, 2009
Land of housing in the area of Jakarta more and more limited. As a result, developers often build houses with the land that “very little” so much space activities that are not accommodated. Well, one solution is to build a house up, aka Go Vertical.
Construction of houses by Go Vertical! This is not something new. This method is often echoed by the architect when he banged a limited land problems. This is what the three finalists presented by House Design Competition, Umbara Purna Kartiansmara Lilih presentation of his work in Grand Indonesia, Jakarta, Sunday (7/3/2010).
“Land is not narrow space limitations to create activities. By the way Go Vertical!, This problem can be overcome with good. Land can narrow optimally utilized,” explained Lilih.
Go Vertical! is meant by the finalists from Yogyakarta is home to extend the land rather than to the side. example is the addition of the floor, which was the first floor to second floor.
In addition, the design of senior Islamic University of Indonesia, he added ramp (stairs) on the outside of the house that connects the first floor with second floor. This is done to deal with children’s playroom is limited.
The size of this ramp slope must also be the standard that is about 8 degrees to 11 degrees. This measure to ensure the safety of users especially children who will often run in it. “Land is limited to no longer be a problem, if the innovation can be done indoors. As the ramp was added for example.” Lilih said.
Bamboo Houses: Cool the Day, Hot Night
Home Improvement October 28th, 2009
Skin touched the cool air as we entered the building in the area of bamboo Sumedang, West Java. And then at 12 noon, and others in surrounding areas so hot. This is one “miracle” of bamboo buildings.
Bamboo, a natural material that has pores and cylindrical with a cavity in it, have the ability to reduce heat. At the time of exposure to heat buildings during the day, the bamboo is releasing stored cold air since last night. On the other hand, at night where the outside air cools, it releases the stored heat from around noon.
Effect? On the afternoon at the house cool on warm evenings. This becomes most plausible explanation why the process of shooting this time not flooded with sweat, even though we were in the area Jatinangor, Sumedang, West Java, which is quite hot.
Buildings that we present here is a cottage in Bandung Giri Gahana Golf & Resort. Small enough in size may be an inspiration to those that have limited land and love the traditional atmosphere.
From Structure To Furniture
Maybe 90% could be said of this building made of bamboo, ranging from structures, walls, ceilings, to the furniture. Only the floors and bathroom walls that do not use bamboo, but ceramics. Bale-bale while the terrace with wood.
Walls of the building using bamboo matting made of four layers, so dense enough to enter the dust and air. Ceiling also use bamboo to expose the rafters and also gording from bamboo.
For the connection structure used here is according Jatnika fibers (bamboo craftsmen who designed and built this bamboo cottages), a bamboo match the most appropriate. But for bamboo connections that do not function as a structure, used rattan looks more beautiful than fibers.
In addition to founding elements of the building, filling the building element is also made of bamboo. Chair / sofa in the living room, one of them, made of bamboo structure with a rather large diameter. Partition that separates one room to another room also uses black bamboo (dark color) are tied with rattan bright colors.
Bale-Bale
The building is taking the model of traditional houses in West Java, which one character is a bale-bale. There are two bale-bale here. One of them was on the terrace, a covered wooden top. Bale-bale can serve to receive guests, because the small size of this house did not provide more room on the inside. To withstand the heat and rain tampias, given the edge of the bamboo blinds.
One more bale-bale on the inside, in addition to the family room. Bale-Bale here could serve as a place to relax, “widening” the family room is just filled with a sofa. In addition, the bale-bale can also be used as a place to eat, since there is no special dining room, just kind of breakfast at the kitchen table.
Because of flexible function, bale-bale so such a solution to the restricted space. As a result, the building with this limited area can have a 3 bedroom, for “throwing” the living room and dining room.
Given the coolness that can be created by the construction of bamboo, a natural atmosphere that was in it, especially at an affordable price you may be interested to build it?
