Void Creating more Light House, Field, and Healthy


Void is a hole between floors in the terraced 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. Therefore, the void can be a perfect solution for lighting in daylight and air circulation into our homes.

Voids are formed or deliberately created in the interior of buildings with a variety of reasons. Among them, 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. Third, to create the impression of height in a particular room. Fourth, to give the impression of a distant view or extend the visual range from bottom to top.


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. so, its location is usually located on top of or above the staircase landing overall.


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 a few things to note, 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 flair 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.

Usually the void created or created if it already met the basic needs of the room. Or it could be said remaining space ruanganlah made void.

The second thing to note is that structures and construction, in principle, make the 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 may be enlarged or enhanced by the quality of concrete or enhanced pembesiannya. Usually the legs are also reinforced foundation.


In addition, note also the use of floor beams and buildings. But avoid the use of hanging beams with overstek that are too large. We recommend that you consult the expert or 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.


To reach the ideal point, arranged for us to look from above and can be looked at 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. We can create air flow through the open windows of the spaces that intersect with the void.


It is no less important to consider is the safety factor. Because, every opening, the tendency to approach it ourselves or want to see it is definitely there. That is, if we are on top, usually to see the activities below we will try to approach void.Untuk, the presence there as a safety railing is absolutely void on the top floor, especially if there are children who live in our homes.

Railing materials that can be used quite diverse, from glass, metal, concrete walls, to wood. Or for another alternative, maybe we can try to combine various materials.

Selecting any railing should not be a horizontal pattern, especially when we have small children.

This year's Home Design Trends, Green Minimalist


Trends in residential home design 2011 is a minimalist style house. It is seen from the development of the existing design in the field, minimalist trend is still going to have trade value next year.


Public interest in choosing a minimalist production costs increased due to the minimalist model is cheaper than the style of other buildings, at least the same. But if practically minimalist type of building is easy, it is wrong because it is minimalist minimal detail. That is, if we make a box shape, then its form must be completely square. Indeed the level of precision and skill that determines the quality of workers building itself. Another reason, perhaps lack of prospective home buyers choose a reference. In a sense, information is only a model example of a house that's all.

Model minimalist home for 2011 will tend toward the minimalist green. Green minimalist it's not just giving an artificial garden in a house alone. But, more to the buildings that are environmentally friendly. In a sense, minimize the greenhouse effect, the use of materials such as the use of environmentally friendly light steel. Another example, using materials that nature does not destroy the forests, such as wood, metal, and stone.


However, it does not mean wood can not be used. Still can, but more to the cosmetic nature only, not become the primary materials, such as for doors.

If possible, use of materials existing material might be better. For example, tree roots made for meja.kampanye to use materials that already exist environmentally friendly.

So even in terms of design, ranging from the room and form a layer does not have relied on one style. However, more adapt to the needs of the occupants. What is meant not only maximize the minimalist green plants, but is more in understanding. That is, green minimalist it had reached on the use of building materials and workmanship of environmentally friendly buildings.



More than that, can be a minimalist green culture within the usage of everyday appliances. For example, efficient use of electricity, water treatment is necessary, the use of more energy efficient lighting, wattnya small but the ambience was the same withlights that wattnya greater . The main minimize the use of the greenhouse effect on the building.



If the structure, minimalist green is still the same. Because the structure usually follows the pattern of the division office. As pembentonannya, columns, and foundations. So, we did not play a role in making the concept of green minimalist. It can we make, with what we think about using materials once in form.


In this minimalist green design should provide space for crops. In that sense, an understanding of green really green from a plant that one of its functions to the water catchment area, distance from roads to buildings which will be filled with a green area should be there. In addition to reducing the temperature outside, it can also be used as a source of recharge.

Harmonization of Eastern and Western Style


Oriental design style, if combined with Western styles to produce an enchanting room setup. The combination of two design styles that can demonstrate the power of a dwelling.



Oriental style or Asian style home usually not too excited and not filled with lots of furniture. This is different from Western residential style that actually has a lot of goods and furniture. That said, this is typical of the Western interior design.

Each style is very fitting for people who are looking for something different or who want to bring another nuance into the house. For people who designed his home beginning Westernized style and want to make the house so it looks more simple but elegant, bringing oriental style would be great. However, for people who have very early design house of East and wanted to look more prominent, then combine them with Western-style would be very fitting.


To produce oriental style we can add elements such as bamboo, which is very characteristic of Asia. Trappings of the all shiny monochrome and also can give the feel of oriental. Westernized style usually brings a classic contemporary style with a clear line. Meanwhile, Asian or oriental style is often held up modernity and keetnikan.

If we look at oriental-style houses, elements must often be found in the plant there. Call it the bamboo, rattan, and even the lotus flower as a wall decoration. Eastern people are also happy to put the plants in the house. Whether there is a relationship with fengsui or not.




Different ways by Westerners. They like to enhance your home with classic items and furniture. Large sofa, paintings, and others such as increasing the value of their homes. Western design generally less with the theme of life.

Another significant difference is, almost all oriental design takes the benchmark of fengsui. Fengsui indeed very nature of oriental and has existed since time immemorial. Now, fengsui also began to be applied to Western-style home to create harmony, harmony, and uniqueness. Try and bamboo blinds combine with contemporary furniture and classic designs that stand out in your bedroom. This will bring the feel peace in your contest it.


Most Western-style wall design is more like wallpaper, paint game, as well as paintings of the great. While the Eastern wall design more gently playing with paint colors and wall hangings are not too large, but the unique shape.

In the Western home design, wall paintings are usually filled with luxury super large size. While the Eastern people would rather display a unique decoration.



If you find it difficult to find Asian elements like bamboo, there are other ways that might be used as a trick. Just use a bamboo-patterned wallpaper patterned wallpaper or search for plants if you do not want any plants living in the house.
