Comfortable Sitting Room in the Garden


HOW any area of the park at home We, creating the living room to mingle with the family can still be done. The important note the arrangement of space to sit in the garden well and meet their needs.

As known, the function of the park other than as a supporting element of the beauty of the house, as well as a means of air circulation and excellent light for the occupants of the house. Therefore, in order to maximize the function of the park, this area should not only be used as a means green at home, can also be optimized as a comfortable sitting room nan.


To make it, do not need complicated things. Take advantage of the park yangada to be the living room to relax and adjust to the concept that want to build.

Usually the residents of the house makes the concept of the living room in the back garden because they want to get comfortable and relaxing atmosphere after a day of work. Rear garden is an area of the right to create such an atmosphere.

However, the park remains the park. Wherever located, the front or back of house building, still in the setting there are some things that need to be observed. The first, the land area. Size of park land will determine the concept or design of the living room like what you want built.

To build a living room in the park, owned land should be broad in order to facilitate when choosing the location of the living room. Even if the land was limited, could still be made but the arrangement needs to be maximized. For example, designing the gazebo adjacent to the walls of neighboring houses.


If we want to get a different impression, make a gazebo altitude higher than the floor of the house so it felt like being on stage. With notes, the user feels comfortable with the visibility obtained.

The second thing noteworthy aspect is its location. Generally, an open sitting room was built in the area that a high level of comfort and privacy so often people use the back garden to build the concept. However, there is also a rear area that intersect directly with the outside area.

If so, we can do is to choose appropriate supporting elements. For example, choose plants that character can muffle the sound, like a tree or plant ketapan beautiful violin, broadleaf, and trunked medium. These plants can also be utilized as a fence that surrounds the area behind the house.


When the choice of land and its location has been determined, it is sensible to consider his view. If it turns around the living room view is not attractive or less eye-catching, you can create one yourself. The trick relies on the concept. If the concept that want to build natural and memorable experience, then choose the materials are natural materials and create the impression of a garden and living room are not as far-fetched. That is, the use of material should be supported with a maximum draft. Usually the park will increase naturally if there is a water element follows other supporting elements such as sculpture or pond fish.

In addition, should the option not to use the garden crop plants. However, a natural plant, in the sense of easy maintenance and does not need regular pruning. For example, types of crops Bali.


The arrangement made sure his garden was neat and pretty. For instance, a good garden design is selected, the park must be maintained should not be maintained, select a beautiful leafy plants, and blooming beauty, and most importantly, its composition must be precise.

Another thing that is important to note is, do not get stagnant rain water for too long in the park. In addition to the park so it is not nice to look at, users can also lazy to take advantage of the sitting room in the park.

Thus, an important control basin was made to direct water to drainage. Another solution, we can make a few points to holes biopori. To support the dramatic effects on our sitting room, do not forget to note about the lighting. That's because the open sitting room is used not only in the morning or afternoon. On any night we can take advantage of his view.

To that end, should be made more supportive atmosphere with good lighting for dramatic and romantic feel. Its location depends on the area that we want to cover with light.

The light that serves to accent lights, usually placed on the columns or pillars of the gazebo. For example, we want to expose frangipani plant stem, then make the lamp light is shone into the trunk. Meanwhile, light, light general nature placed in the middle of the gazebo roof.

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.

Modern Minimalist Houses

PROGRESS minimalist home is strongly influenced by changes in urban lifestyle (upper middle) practical all. Minimalist home requires saving material without reducing the quality of construction, building geometric shapes, straight field lines firmly, looked stiff, and angled the meeting points. Houses appear to form as a box with a sloping roof triangle perpendicular. Form of house remains highlight basic forms of building architecture firm.


Proportioned building form, the division of floors, walls, and roof looks balanced. Houses only have a few accessories, especially profile carvings. Form frames and shutters and doors rectangle that makes the house look assertive appearance.


The division of space is very efficient, functional, and clear hierarchy. Residents and guests can easily identify the functions of space. Placement of windows, doors, and skylights are aiming to enter the light and air properly and optimally in the room so that the use of lights and air conditioning equipment, especially in the morning and afternoon, can be reduced to a minimum. Excess minimalist house, house eco-friendly homes is directed into the middle of a trendthroughout the world .


For those who have limited land, multifunctional use of space. Merging function - a function space, such as terrace and living room, living room and family room, living room, dining room and kitchen, back porch, dining room and study room, is a consequence of the change of urban lifestyle. Time-consuming routine work outside the home makes the function spaces used optimally, there is no dead space.



The use of highly efficient, practical, lightweight but sturdy, and high-tech. Plain or textured exposed concrete on the walls of the house, wide glass windows little or no connection. Walls of glass combined with water makes a beautiful curtain wall of water, and cool the room. This wall is also a trend everywhere. Frame buildings of concrete to steel. Roof ranging from clay tiles, shingles, to steel plate. Forms staircase and rope suspended from plate steel, lightweight concrete, to the folding ladder that can be saved to the roof.



Plain wood without ornament, only polished or painted, still widely used for frames and doors and windows. Frame from a durable aluminum has also been widely used. Fence is also designed to strengthen the impression of minimalism from textured concrete, the betel leaf walls (stone pieces nested), to hedge softens the stiffness of the building.


Color selection is very important. The dominance of black, white, and gray is characteristic of the main building and furnishings. The atmosphere of the house seemed cold and heavy. To balance it, color-matching combined home other colors as accents (contrast), such as red, yellow, orange (bright) and brown, blue, green (soft). Contrasting colors are also used as an accent to highlight the shape of the building with the surrounding environment.


Home furnishings should follow the basic geometric shape of the building, so the chairs, sofas, desks, cabinets, and cots rectangular plain, without ornament of carving. Chairs, tables, and cabinets full of carvings even seem to be uncomfortable. Furniture leather sofas and metal with a dark color and a rectangular glass table decorated living room and family room. Overall, the room filled with furniture that is very efficient and functional course.


Network utility and sanitation are also laid out carefully. Placement tailored to the priority needs and easy maintenance. The game is very artistic lighting lamps, both spotlights, light plant, as well as hanging lamps with geometric forms. The bathroom is also equipped with a compact sanitary.


Anything as beautiful as the house was built, the house remained a dead building. For that, the home requires the "spirit" in order to create life. The presence of the household with all its activities and making home gardens will provide a dynamic spirit of home life. Placement of plant pots and carefully arranged in the shady corners of the house from the front porch to back porch and furnished corner fish pond will make the house seem alive.


Looking ahead, minimalist home a compact, stylish, and practical will be the favorite choice. Creativity and innovative with high artistry of the architects and supported the development of sophisticated technology to make a minimalist home will continue to grow with every new breakthrough. For those who love the things that modern and futuristic, especially the young executives who are single or young family dynamic, minimalist home will still be their favorite choice for a minimalist house has become a new symbol of urban society.
