Home Improvement

When designing a house, certainly not the only theme or concept you think. Planning for comfortable and healthy home was supposed to be the main thing. Especially when you design voiddi in the house. The role of voids in the house is so important. Its function is not only a residential look roomy, but useful as well as air circulation and good light in the house. In connection with this, the void could be the right solution for inviting light and air into your home. Void is a hole that forms or deliberately created in the interior of buildings with a variety of reasons. Among these, the first because he wanted to create a broad impression of a room. Second, wanted to create air pockets or air flow to keep the room comfortable. Or other reasons, relating to creating the impression of a certain height in the room. It could also give the impression of wanting to continue or extend the view distance from the bottom up.

The function is usually void (in most small-scale) formed in the area of the stairs. Because usually on the stairs should be free for increased flow of people do not collide. Thus, its location is usually located on top of or above the staircase landing overall.

Void is an empty space or an empty area or open space that cuts off the continuity of a space between the two areas.

However, in general terms used to describe the void with no floor space located on the 2nd floor where through space we can see the space underneath, but still under the same roof.

In designing the void is good and right, there are some things you need to consider, among others, the size and spacious home. The amount of voids that are made should be adapted to the area existing home. So, if the size of the house is not big, nor should the size of large voids. More than that, consider also the space that will be located under the void so that the laying and setting a fine.

In principle in all the houses can be made void. Whether small or big house. Only, all depend cleverness homeowners in the process. No matter how small the land, usually at least a small family needs must be met, from the primary spaces until the service area.

For that, consider the space needs. Usually the void created or created if it already met the basic needs of the room. Or it could be said to be made void the remaining space.

The second thing to note is that structures and construction. In principle, a structure similar to the design and construction of another space, which is only a blank floor. However, usually concrete beam around the void of his binder must be strengthened.

Another alternative could be enlarged or enhanced by the quality of concrete or enhanced pembesiannya. Typically the foundation is also strengthened

In addition, note also the use of floor beams and buildings. It is suggested should avoid the use of hanging beams with overstek that is too big. Whenever possible, he added, ask for help from an expert or an architect for the structure obtained using the structure and construction of safe, yet efficient in cost and quality of the resulting space to be good.

As for determining the void hole, usually a minimum amount proportional to the module structure column. However, it could also use two or more modules. With a note, if you have enough land area.

To reach the ideal point, you can try looking from the top and could see from below as well. Usually a person’s point of view it 45 degrees. The best position in a void space is the highest share of the most heat. However, it can not be used as a benchmark. Because, in the application, usually all depends on other aspects in the field.

Through the void, air will continue to flow balanced between the air coming out of the house and exchanged with new air. The trick does not need direct from the top of the void. Air Flow you can create from the window openings of the spaces that intersect with the void.

It is no less important to note is security. Because, in each openings, the tendency to approach it ourselves or want to see it is definitely there. That is, if you’re on top, usually to see the activities below you will try to close to void.  For taht, the presence there as a safety void is absolute.

Railing materials that can be used quite diverse, from glass, metal, concrete walls, to wood. Or for another alternative, maybe you could try to combine a variety of materials.

Selecting any railing should not be a horizontal pattern, especially if you have small children.

Although not always stand out as the other rooms, the kitchen equipment must be arranged according to residential design. One arrangement just a little, the house will look less unsightly. First, the kitchen is only regarded as dirty and smoky areas. Therefore, a tool used when cooking is still in the form of wood or bamboo, so the ancient houses where the kitchen is not considered special. In fact, in several state in particular, it is difficult to distinguish where the kitchen and where the living room because it was fused.

Unlike today. Currently, the kitchen can be said to have functions that are almost as much a bygone era. Related to the more modern era, the upper classes over many choose to eat out than eat at home. No doubt, the kitchen so almost rarely used. This phenomenon is what makes the existence of the kitchen is “a question mark.”

Previously, the kitchen is the essence of a place to live. This is where the center of the household, especially that related to cooking and eating. Only later, when modern residential architecture evolved and focused on the concept of public housing, the kitchen began to be made with a more minimal size. Such housing is intended for the lower middle class society. Houses are small, so did her kitchen.

Due to the small kitchen, the homeowner can not cook too many snacks. As a result, eating outside the home of choice. However, when the income of people was small, it is impossible also to constantly eating away from home. Thus, the chosen alternative for shopping and cooking yourself. Related to this, small house would have to have a kitchen though minimal. The kitchen must be enabled for the activity of washing, cutting, and cooking food. Size of land no bigger than a pantry. However, this phenomenon a long time to be a dilemma.

The dilemma in the sense, the kitchen can be a lifestyle or a kitchen is a necessity of a claim. Because, in addition to practicality, the kitchen is also more rarely used. In fact, the kitchen may just be a place for cooking water. Not surprisingly, those lifestyle changes so that the kitchen be made as necessary. Some coverage of the phenomenon in ataslah which then become a reason not to be made large kitchen. Or in other words, the minimum calculated size of the kitchen.

So, what’s standard equipment must be used to supplement these minimum kitchen? Minimum kitchen certainly has to support activities such as washing, cutting, and cooking. The ingredients commonly held is the sink, single package with a place to cut it. Meanwhile, the rest of the other space to put the stove. An ordinary stove. No need to wear oven when not in use every day.

In addition to standard tools to support the kitchen, other things that need to be considered include three things, namely health, safety, and security. Means health, provision of trash cans in the kitchen. Because, maybe not you let the food ingredients that are just lying unused at the cutting table. This of course would invite odor.

However, not necessarily all you should let the garbage cans are in a period too long. Instead, finish cooking, immediately dispose of the garbage to disposal area to another. It is no less important, make sure there is a window that can be opened so that fresh air into the kitchen. Therefore, the result of bad air and air waste gas coming out would endanger you. For that, create a kitchen that relate directly to the outside.

Do not let you create the kitchen was closed and dark. This could even harm you.

Related to the safety aspect, it is recommended that you have a tool for early fire prevention. No need extinguishers that are difficult, simply provide buckets and sand.

The kitchen is a source of fire. Because not all homeowners have a fire extinguisher, then seek a simple. You can learn from India. There every kitchen must provide a bucket made of zinc containing sand. So, every time there is a fire, yes dininya prevention using the sand.

While the matter of safety, the current location of the kitchen not be always in the back. You may also put them in front.

So, while cooking, you can still control the condition of the outside area. Maybe if the kitchen was put in front of the house did not look beautiful. However, guests are also not uncommon to come, most families only. So, I think it is fine if you want to be placed outside the kitchen or in front of the house.

So even with the kitchen floor, make sure not slippery and easy to clean. So, before buying flooring materials, ask your retailer first, whether there is a layer or anti-spot/anti-scratch layers? A lot of material to choose from for the kitchen, such as granite materials or materials from natural stones.

Talk to the concept of minimalism, of course related to the effects of the expansion of space. One component that could give the impression it is a game wide color. It is suggested should be the colors used are bright colors like white, off white, or beige.

Lighting is also important. We recommend that you select the type of bright light. More than that, the kitchen light also should not rely on a position on the ceiling. That’s because without realizing it you can cover the lamp shade so that the cooking be disturbed. Alternatively, put the lights on the top kitchen shelf that is directed straight into the cooking.

But, not to dazzle you while working. At least the size of the lamp under the eyebrows, so do not glare.

When designing and building a house, choosing the right design is not enough. Also necessary for the proper execution pattern unfriendly weather can adapt to the house. Good design is not the only measure of an ideal home. There are many other things to consider when wanting an ideal shelter. In addition to the desired design, an important factor to consider is location. Determining the location is important, because each region would have climatic conditions vary. If the house is located in lowland areas, should build houses that are resistant to hot weather. And vice versa if the house you want to wake up in the highlands, make houses that are resistant to cold weather. However, sometimes the people of topivcal country following the concept of home in the West, but its climate is different.

Almost everyone wants a strong dream house and liking. However, sometimes a suit is irrelevant to reality. For example, viewed from the level of need for the openings. Those who lived abroad, usually the concept of minimal occupancy aperture because the area consists of four climate. Maybe for hot weather has no effect, but if the snow fell, with the number of openings even endanger their souls. In contrast to country with tropical climate, using a lot of openings must be very beneficial to the occupants.

In the tropics could have followed the trend, but still must be adapted to the current climate because it is needed. How, if you want to make homes in hot areas, use materials that absorb heat helpless. Then, note the direction of home.

If your house is facing west, not too many openings to the west. That’s because in the afternoon sun is hotter than the morning and do not benefit the body. So did the opposite to the east. The design of a good home if facing north or south because the sun was in the middle, so not too hot.

Secondly, consider the vegetation. At least we have a spacious garden if our homes for 40 percent of the park. If a small yard, make a potted plants inside and outside the home. We have to fertilize crops such as fruit protector or tropical plants that are shady and can provide coolness.

Things to note also is the material. We recommend using natural materials for coating the walls. For example, natural stones. The character of materials that are part of nature usually have the nature of cooling space in the house so that appropriate for a light house in the area of high heat. So even with layers of walls, you should use a paint color, which can reduce heat and does not reflect sunlight, such as white and gray. Fourth, the construction of a house such as roofing materials and the use of air bearings. Use a tile roof material such as aluminum or voil.

Air bearings must also be considered. Air bearing is a cavity that serves to remove heat from the side. Usually the air cushion is between the roof above and ceiling.

Note also the high ceiling. Usually for large houses often use high ceiling so the air circulation more smoothly.

Meanwhile, minimalist home are encouraged to use ceiling measuring three meters, but still must be balanced with the dimensions of the house.

For this type of furniture materials, you should use a furniture or accessory that can absorb heat and distribute the impression of cold. Actually the use of furniture not very influential, it’s just furniture including a supporting factor to give the impression of a comfortable home.

Reforming modern style house was tricky. But if you know the tricks, occupancy in accordance dream was going to be created. Occupancy comfort and beauty of your dreams will come true.

Modern concept home is a concept that puts a new style very different from the style in the past. Currently, modern style is still growing and probably will continue to evolve, just like ethnic style or another. Judging from the history of the emergence of this concept, the modern style was born around the 1920s. Its presence serves to simplify the details and ornaments and decorations in the style that existed before.

The characteristics of the most prominent in the modern concept is simplicity of form and decoration. Because the simplification of detail is, of course, very influential also in the form of facade and materials typically used in occupancy with this modern concept.

Usually building facades tend simple, without decoration that looks curved repetitive (such as details of classical style) or the facade of this style tends to smooth and further highlight the character of the material that was used as the main element as well as decoration in this style.

Modern is not a style, but “functions” that adapts to circumstances and needs of the functions previously or commonly known as “traditional” or “classic style”.

This is because this style tends to suit the needs. Some people are happy with traditional or classical style because it is considered more elegant, luxurious, and so forth. However, back to the function and benefits. More modern style is selected at this time because it was considered better to provide easy access, both in function and maintenance.

Some people who like the modern style because its appeal lies in the form of design that tends to ‘honest’ and simple and clean impression. Another reason, of course back to their respective residents in determining the choice of model design to occupancy. Besides being a matter of taste of the occupants, usually for age, emotional maturity, the function of buildings, or even budgeting in determining one’s sense of choice in determining the model or style of their house.

Other things, like the type of clothing, modern style on occupancy was chosen because the growing trend in society and is a major factor behind a person choosing the building with a modern concept. There are several things to consider to apply this concept, the first is fixed based on the basic shapes and geometric combined with colors and elements. Also, avoid excessive detail form.

The second thing to note, accessories are used indoors. We recommend that you do not use too many accessories and details. Make sure you choose the appropriate to the function or space requirements. Of course, also associated with components of the color and lighting of the room, such as accent lighting, general lighting.

Furthermore, the color, style usually brings neutral colors like gray, white, or other neutral colors. Color for interior design depends on the user’s room. So, there is no specificity in terms of color selection. So even with the floor. In modern designs generally use this type of flooring such as marble, wood, synthetic wood, ceramic, and others. For those of you who initially had to use wood as a flooring material do not worry. Therefore, wood is the element that is “perfect” so it can mix-match with modern design.

In addition, the effect is not replaceable timber. Alloys are very diverse, can be an accent or the main element in decorating.

Designing a kitchen as well as designing other rooms in the house, take proper arrangement and design. Therefore, one could slightly affect the room. The kitchen now is not just a functional place. The kitchen has been transformed into a space that could become a point of view of a dwelling. This applies to clean the kitchen pantry alias. While the function of the kitchen can still be done well in the wet kitchen.

From the categorization of this, later we will know what kitchen equipment that should be in the kitchen clean and dirty kitchen.

One of the furniture to enhance your kitchen is with a kitchen set. In general, the kitchen set is a device shaped kitchen cabinet which serves to store household tools, especially the kitchen equipment. Kitchen set is a kitchen tool in the form of one or more sets of cabinets with a variety of functions integrated into the kitchen.

Before we decided to apply the kitchen set in the kitchen, there are a few things to note, for example dimensions. Kitchen sets designed in accordance with the needs and dimensions of space will help create a kitchen set that is well organized so that the resulting feelings of easy and convenient to use. Still, not a kitchen set that goal, but flexibility should be considered in connection with a number of functions in this set.

Another thing that is no less important in terms of determining the size of a kitchen set. By knowing this, you will easily determine how much equipment that may come in the kitchen set and large-small size of each equipment.

The size of a small kitchen set is usually to place the equipment more simple and compact, in order to save space. While the differential treatment when designing a kitchen set based on the size of the human body. The size of the kitchen set is certainly adjusted to body size to the owner of the house or the most widely used kitchen set. Most sizes are used for example, to a height of the main cabinet that contains the stove and place the food is usually cut an 80-cm with a thickness of between 70-90cm.

While at the top can be given additional cabinet distance of about 40-50cm with a thickness of about 40 cm. A good kitchen set gives a sense of comfort when in use, that is easy to reach the needs of the kitchen, easy to prepare food, wash, and so forth.

Next thing to consider is what function you want to be contained. Usually, the reason residents have a kitchen set based on several basic needs, such as storing objects and material needs of food, preparing food, cutting, washing, cooking, and serving.

These things need to be considered, so that the function of a kitchen set in the kitchen can be a maximum. With notes, the election should be tailored to the needs of the space and equipment functions are integrated in the kitchen set. Then a new set of organizing each function and what equipment should be provided.

Completeness kitchen set that minimum, ie stove, kitchen sink, dirty water pipes and clean water, and sucker smoke while to lay out, kitchen sets have several concepts, among them the concept of elongated, L shape, U shape, form T, and so forth.

Nevertheless, whatever its form layout, it is suggested you should select the design of a kitchen set that is easy to use. In a sense, not too big or too small, could accommodate the activity you want done and interesting in terms of design.
