4. Residential with Natural Inspiration


The spirit of bringing comfort in her natural atmosphere that radiates timeless beauty became the basis of this residential presence. In order for natural function is not lame, architects tried to make the most of the soil conditions and maintain a state of nature remains unexploited. One way is to create special absorption wells contaminated water.

Ie the car park to the south, which borders directly on the main road entrance, while on the north side of the side entrance to the building, provides parking for motorcycles.

In the mass service buildings, intentionally placed side by side with the main entrance. The aim is to facilitate access to the waiter to open the door when there are vehicles coming. In addition, other functions are able to form a more privacy for the masses in the main building inside. At this occupancy, the main building is only used by family members.

Contour is an imaginary line that serves as a marker points on the sloping land that has the same height. Of course, in residential design in the land contours requires its own strategy.

Park could be said if the environmentally able to function optimally. These elements can be used not only support the building aesthetics, but also fully functional on the environment surrounding Indonesia's tropical gardens certainly need that can absorb heat and rain well.


Therefore, making the park in such buildings are required to stay home, Its function is also quite diverse. If we see visually, the park can be used to decorate the house, only, the actual scientific works to maintain the park system and ecological environment.


Park can also be one factor triggering environmental unfriendly because of the lifestyle of the inhabitants of the house. Suppose that by creating crops that are not in place, such as planting fruit trees in the front area of the house. Because of its productive and dense, the tree will not only damage the park aesthetics, but also trigger passersby in front of the house to take the fruit is ripe.


Or another example, originated from the desire to protect the house from thieves then the residents chose to plant thorn. But because the residents were not diligent in pruning plants barbed, consequently even endanger every person who walks around the area of the house.


The question now is, how to make eco-friendly garden? Rubianto Giwo landscape architect explained, is environmentally friendly garden that not only can be viewed in one side. However, the park was also able to function optimally, ie not only can be the lungs of the city, but can also be used as the lungs of the inhabitants of the house.


At home, eco-friendly garden should be able to give a green atmosphere, one of them by selecting trees that are not only shady, but also in accordance with house and garden area.


There are some things that need to be done to make eco-friendly garden, including planting broad-leaf plants such as trees ketapan, beautiful violin tree, or a kind of family than the oak. This is based on the benefits of trees, broad-leaf trees, which can reduce evaporation of water into the air. So, put the trees in some parts of the house combined with garden design.


In addition, the park must also compounds with the owner's lifestyle home. That is, the park we make must not "dangerous" inmates. In the sense of not using thorny bushes, the area must be greater because it is useful as a means of playing children, and do not use the branches that break easily and pulled out the sap.

There are some residents who plant trees in the area of productive front of the house. Initially it was intended to protect the house from the dirty air and noise pollution. But at the time of fruit harvest, the tree is what triggers people passing in front of the house to do something, Thus, planting trees in the park need attention.


Another thing to do, there's always sought contact between interior and exterior elements. For example, use crop colors harmonious with the texture of the building. Not because they want to follow the trend, the park is used varies inversely with the building design, If you have this, the park instead of adding aesthetics occupancy, but instead damage the beauty of the house.

In addition, there are also several other complementary factors. Protective barrier and is one of the elements to create an environmentally friendly garden. Suppose we have a house facing west, then place it can protect the plant following the house occupants from the sun during the day

Once the balcony is only used as a space for the remaining space. Now the concept has evolved balcony, which became an integral part of the building, which functioned to facilitate the entry of light in space and to beautify the building. As an additional element to beautify the building, making the balcony railing combined with appropriate use of architecture design. For minimalist home architecture design, railings and materials used materials should be as simple as possible to form a square balcony and railing lines of horizontal or vertical.

About the railing with iron fence materials, the iron fence on the balcony should be shorter than the front gate house, which ranges from one meter. To maintain the harmonization of the building, the model must be adapted to the front of the house and the fence design architecture.

Usually, the balcony is used to beautify the buildings were smaller and did not bring the interior of the balcony. Balcony to beautify residential usually placed under the upstairs bedroom or family room in the direction that lies at the top. About him, balconies do not have to face the front or the back because they have adapted to the position of land and buildings.

19. Kitchen in Fengsui Glasses



In science fengsui, kitchen occupies an important position. Having set the direction of the main door of the house and the master bedroom, then experts will manage the kitchen fengsui. In the kitchen setting, the human pattern of the head of the family became standards. The way to see the date of birth of the head of the family, after that will get the pattern, then made calculations kitchen space position. Thus disclosed Ir Sidhi Wiguna Tea, an architect who also fengsui faculty Tarumanegara University, Jakarta.


Sidhi presented, ideally located in the kitchen negative sector of the head of the family (according to the method fengshui mansion 8) after that will be checked home energy composition (according fengshui flying star method) to get a room with good energy. Brief seen that the method mansion with 8 flying star method conflicting. One says to the ugly room, one says to the room with good energy.


Actually this is not a problem because it is not difficult to find space that meets the demands of both methods in the same room. After getting the kitchen space that meets the rules fengsui, of course we should also consider the rules of architecture. A good kitchen needs a good natural lighting, as well as good natural ventilation so that smoke and the smell of cooking can be quick neutralizing. On the other side of the kitchen is often made against the garage because the circulation line service considerations. Ideally between the garage and kitchen made from the buffer so that smoke does not exhaust directly into the kitchen and can be neutralized by the existing buffer.


Ideally the buffer is a plant. After determining the problem space is completed, the next important thing is determining the position of the stove. Unlike the myths that circulate in the wider community that direction when swinging a frying pan should not be led out of the house with the provision of reasons to get out of the house, too. This is a big misleading. In classical fengsui science the expert fengsui never considered the swing a frying pan, The note is the switch on off the stove. This direction should be toward the head of household good and get a good facing star providing a positive effect for residents.


Why is this so important? In accordance with the physics of thermodynamic theory which says that "there is no new energy is created and no energy is destroyed, the energy just changes form". This explains, for example, I demonstrated when we cook the rice, when the process is transformed into the rice the rice, the rice absorbs the heat that turned into rice. Fengsui science says that is absorbed by the rice is not only hot, but there are other types of energy.


Other types of incoming energy are affected by the direction of the wind according to human patterns and construction patterns. We know that by eating foods in our body metabolic process occurs that changes the energy stored in our food into many other activities. When the energy that goes into our body is the energy in accordance with our needs, we have made possible an optimal life because "you are what you eat"
