2009-11-25T00:12:00.000-08:00

A superblock of Kemang Vilage in South Jakarta plan to build a waterpond that can accommodate the flood of the river water, which can be pumped out of the river during dry or processed into clean water. Waterpond is expected to reduce the burden of flooding in this area during the rainy season, and can reuse again the water on the pond to supply the community.

This system have successfully apply in Lippo Cikarang, but in Kemang Vilage have different condition like water supply in dry season is empty, so waterpond will contain no water. To overcome this condition the developer than work together with water supply company (PDAM) that have supplied this area.

This water system is not trial but have been applied for more than 18 year old in the township of Lippo Village, where all domestic waste is processed and used again to supply the housing community. On this area is planted thousand threes, and ban of taking groundwater, which makes Lippo Village an icon for that environment.

This model become an obsession of Jopy the owner of Lippo Karawaci Tbk Developer, this model are integrated of architecture idealism, commercial and environmental, either in areas that were originally quiet until the middle of city that already crowded area like in the cities such as Kemang.

How to Find a Qualified Developer

2009-11-02T18:45:00.000-08:00

House plant design of the Family Home
Architectural Design, Image Work, 3D
Building a New House
Renovation the Old House
Budget Plan RAB & Consultation

But in addition to the above a lot of developers who provide free services in the care of IMB (build permit), the land certificate or certificate of property right to alter the property right and so forth. Qualified developers team who usually have a working team with a qualified staff of Civil Architect, Building Architect and Energy Masonry experienced. Have a dedication, full of innovation and commitment in every project work, done in a professional and well planned. They also must have experience in built various types of houses in various of land locations.

Property Information of Jakarta

2009-09-27T19:33:00.000-07:00

The small groups of houses are mushrooming in Jakarta and surrounding cities in Java. What are the benefits to buy this kind of house? Beware of loose, too!

We certainly know and are familiar with the term town house or a house dealer. These houses generally build with a limited number and location very close to downtown or central of district business. Location could be located in the middle of the traditional settlements had existed before, and the location of the town house is "the rest of the remaining land" which is still untapped. Because it is a "rest land", of course not be too wide for standard housing in the suburbs.

Houses dealer like the above description become the choices by who want to stay in the middle of the following cities with all the facilities and the ease, but do not want to live in such a vertical residential apartments. One cluster house dealer usually only contain between 10 to 20, or maximum of just 30 houses.

This colony house can encounter in many areas of the outskirts of the capital which was entered into the administrative of Jakarta area. Cilandak, Kalibata, Pondok Kopi, Palmerah, Cengkareng or Petukangan just a few areas where townhouses exist. Dozens of areas with this kind of characters found in around of Jakarta.

New trend
With the number of units that offer similar to the townhouse (only about 10-30 units), now appears new "housing" that is located not exactly close to downtown. If the assumption near the center with the maximum distance of 10 or 15 km, the housing distance may at least 20 km, even up to 40 km from the center of city or business center in the capital of Jakarta.

This housing model practically do not have a generic term. Called as townhouses, but no longer be located near the town, want to be called the housing, the amount may not be enough to create a neighborhood association (RT) that ideally need between 50-60 home/head family.

Until now, there is no specific term used to refer to this kind of housing characteristics. Each developer picked their own names, while in the eyes of their customers still call it housing.

This kind of "Housing" has emerged as a strategy of the developers who do not have enough of capital to develop a relatively large area. The size of the allocated land was not in a matter of hectares, at best, starting with the 1000/2000 m2 area up to 5.000M2.

The selected location of the small developer is generally located near residential areas developed by major developers. West and southwest, around Karawaci, Serpong, Pondok Aren, Bintaro, Ciputat, Ciledug, and Pamulang are areas where small housing estate, this kind of emerging.

While in the south, ranging from the Great Lenteng to Depok also encountered-residential house with small type. While in the east, areas such as non-commissioned officer, Harapan Indah, Pondok Gede, Jatibening, Cikunir, until Cilangkap a fertile growing area of residential mini.

Garden Ornament

2009-07-19T07:24:00.000-07:00

In order for the home garden look more attractive, you can use the ornaments in the garden between the plants. In addition to ornaments such as lighting function, garden ornaments also add aesthetic value.

Deli's House

2009-06-20T22:30:00.000-07:00

Deli’s house is one of the traditional houses from Deli – Sumatra – Indonesia. The model itself varies and depends on the tribes that is part of Deli area – North Sumatra. Actually the types also similar with many melayu models of Malay, because this is still from one rumpun.

Book Store In the Narrow Space

2009-05-23T09:01:00.000-07:00

What appears in your mind when trying to set up a room with three and a half meters wide and seven meters long? Alternative to the normal public use of parking space is the motor, a warehouse, a simple bedroom, or where children play.

Your option of choice is valid of course, only for as long styled with a high taste should not have any problems. Small space that will always be considered beautiful. However, the alternatives that is presented by an interior design practitioners Penny Drue Baird. He has had experience dealing with an interesting space that has been used as art galleries.

That space is less well regarded, the floor poor appearance, low ceiling, with a number of light beam that is only good for the gallery, not good for personal space.

Thus, the narrow space that is proportionally be addressed with the taste and high art. Floor, which originally made of rough cement, trim, and dark colored board installed, along the "alley" was narrow, upright cupboard-bookcase opens.

Bookstore color is adjusted with the floor color so that the colors appear a harmonious blend. The books are placed in a rack that is "adjusted" with the floor color and shelves, Unbelievable.

Column divider or bulkhead-front bookcase made in the form of simple, but harmonious with the color match for the cabinet and floor. In each column is placed a small decorative lamp. Its function is not only enlightening, but at the same time beautify the space. Between the columns is glazed about two meters in wide and three meters in high. Small decorative table with two medium-sized vases also installed there.

Ceiling space, which was initially installed beam lamps, remove from there, replaced with a white ceiling. A number of beams ceiling that expose or dominant also installed there. And four medium-sized hanging lights illuminate on the "corridor" is small. At this interior design work has not been completed. He still install a leather chair which can be a place where the reader sits.

From this experience can be disclosed that a certain kind of face a chaotic space does not need to depart from the mind of a budget or even a "high-cost". Settings with the understanding that sufficient space is simple, but a taste. Sample submitted by Penny this can be a reference. High taste in space setup, it became one of the keys to the room of a beautiful and fun.

Look what is done by the designer and architect Scott Himmel, when in 1997, he renovate bedroom space or a break in the apartment overlooking Lake Michigan, Chicago.

He was "established" the ceilings that are not too high, but beautiful because he have blended of white and brown boards color. This is the color of a theme to unite Himmel some other device, such as a book rack neatly arranged on the right hand side, some brown chairs, stove and furnace black chocolate, and a set of green seats. The carpet and floor also brown. This is a stunning two-step Himmel install window glass on the left and right. Window that allows the apartments can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Michigan.

Large lake in the border of the wind city, Chicago, is lovely indeed. The beautiful become more "colored" because some of the vertical side of Chicago buildings is beautiful, the architecture is very captivating. As known, Chicago is one city which is the bulk of the best world's architects.

Some of the Indonesian people also take advantage of clever elegancy lake, river, or sea. The roads to Nort Beach on Jakata, for example, are the center of architecture housing style there. Some people use the window, as used by Himmel.

Tropical Garden Design

2009-05-16T17:25:00.000-07:00

Gardening design can integrate from two elements, as an example is combined of tropical elements with modern hardscape elements. This combination can create tropical garden more simple but keep beauty under treatment.

One of the example this gardening in Indonesia are X-Otic Garder in Bandung. This garden is formed of Cambodia Flower, bananas, and bamboo, orchid and modern nuance of hardscape elements.

Garden design is created with attention to desires of the home. Previously, the page is not behind this. Can say a fruit garden, where in some corner of the fruit trees planted sporadically. See the park, the owner also wishes to create a garden is, beautiful, and minimal care. The modern elements advice includes the design of hardscape. Swimming made the geometric pattern. L-shaped pond and placed in the corner is placed water cylindrical fountain with a wall three meters of high background. Dominant effect is outline on the wall and water fountain to give a rustic effect.

Not just that, elements of modern nuances also obtained from the use of crystals that form a drops of water-drops. Imitation is the water drops look more prominent at night when lights spot into the garden. Light effects are also used to expose the water to swell the middle of the water fountain.

Gardening on House

You can see the design of this House and the gardening from many angle, may be interest from this design and can make copy for your home. On the front may too expose to sun, and will very hot when the sun has high.

Too many scrub plant that sometime need more time to treat and manage because this plant very fast to grow. Like surround the bench with scrub plant sometime any snake there.

TV Rack Design

2009-04-17T20:02:00.000-07:00

Your rack for TV place should be design in order suitable for whatever this appliance need, and all this electronic need to play is available on that place. Sometime the place around the TV is messy because no other place to keep something like CD, remote and many other for TV Show needed.

One of the design to place the TV is as below:

Below the rack is created many cabinet that is used for placed many purposed for turn on the TV show, there are a special case for CD, for Book and many other that is connected to see the TV show.

Exhibition Room Design

2008-11-26T04:00:00.000-08:00

Designing room for certain exhibitions are depends on the kind of exhibition that will be showed. Exhibition for computer are very different compare with car exhibition, because computer don’t need large space, and for car exhibition need large room space.

Room arrangement also will very different between both exhibitions, for product that don’t need large space is just need narrow partitions but for big product need wide partition and wide room space like for car exhibition.

For car exhibition need wide room and just need a tie border to give more special service and can give much information and make feel comfort for every visitor. For this purpose we can design in maximize room design.

For computer show better build a walk path, and just one way direction because if the visitor too much will difficult to walk if not be designed in one way direction, for every space can design in minimalist model like on the photo below.

Build a Concrete

2008-11-18T23:53:00.001-08:00

Build a concrete should intense to the final quality of concrete, the final of concrete result must be strong and sometime should not leakage from seep water, especially when the concrete also used as open roof of our house.

For those purpose some preparation before conduct a concrete molding must be done, such as preparation and cleaning. When applying any coating to concrete or steel, and even when bonding new concrete to existing, adequate surface preparation of the substance is fundamental to success. For coating product that possess excellent adhesive properties and have a high tolerance level, thorough surface preparation and cleaning are absolutely essential.

The ideal surface for a coating material system should be:

Free of weak or brittle cement laitance
Free of loose or friable particle
Dry (moisture content below 4% except in special circumstances)
Clean and free of contaminants (especially oils and greases)
Open textured with a sandpaper like finish
Constructed with adequate reinforcement and joints, in accordance with current standards and good practice.

There are many methods of surface preparation an cleaning, including a number of proprietary systems. In principle, the most effective methods are mechanical, such as Blastrac vacuum blasting or Von ARX planning machines. Open blast cleaners, scabblers, grinders, power brushes and needle guns are suitable for use on many projects, or in confined areas and edges where not accessible by larger equipment.

With all methods of surface preparation it is important to carry out the mechanical or cleaning operations to the required standards, and to check that this is done. During maintenance and refurbishment work, it may be necessary to remove contaminants from the surface, or even from within the upper layer itself. It may, therefore, be necessary to use chemical cleaners, detergents, emulsifiers, steam cleaning, high pressure water jetting, or a combination of these to clean the substrate. This is normally best carried out prior to mechanical preparation. In cases of severe contamination this cleaning may need to be repeated after mechanical.

House Model

2008-11-10T04:46:00.000-08:00

This section describes how one uses equivalent wall results to a house model in transient building simulation programs. For the purposes of this example, a simple house design of typical construction is used as a reference, as shown below.

Successful implementation of the equivalent wall approach largely depends on the proper dimensioning of building envelope components. A wall elevation for the house shown above is depicted in below. The wall system is comprised of 2x4 steel stud with R-11 insulation, and contains one door and one window. Only one wall is shown here, since it is assumed that the procedure that follows can be applied to construct the remaining walls of the house.

The first step is to list the building envelope sections that exhibit transient and multidimensional effects. The sample wall elevation contains the following sections of dissimilar thermal response: wall/floor, wall/ceiling, corner wall interfaces, window header, window framing, door header and door framing. In this example, the thermal response of the door header and window header are assumed equal. Figure below distinguishes each of these zones by color, with the dimensions of the transient and three-dimensional effects as indicated in the Wall Assembly Information Sheets.

The second step is to determine the building envelope areas for each dissimilar section. As noted previously, it is important not to double-count building envelope areas. The easiest way to avoid this problem is to first calculate the areas of the building envelope that contain three-dimensional effects. These values can then be subtracted from the total building envelope area to determine the clear wall area.

Italian Art and Architecture

2008-10-08T15:36:00.001-07:00

Italian art has its roots in the aesthetic traditions of classical Rome and in the pre-Roman cultures of the Italian peninsula, especially those of the Greeks and the Etruscans. Such common elements as a shared classical heritage, Roman Catholicism, and the Italian language, function, and content, despite the peninsula’s political fragmentation, which lasted from the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5^th century AD until the establishment of the Italian nation in the mid 19^th century. During that time Italy was divided politically and culturally into numerous continually changing stages based on cultural regions, such as Tuscany or Lombardy, or cities, such as Venice and Rome. Italian art is thus made up of distinct local artistic styles or traditions called schools.

The Middle Ages

Italian art history begins in Rome during the 1^st to 4^thByzantium in the 4^th century meant that early Constantinople, rather than Rome, would become the early medieval center of Mediterranean Christian Culture. Ravenna in the 12^thRavenna’s San Vitale (16^th century) and Saint Mark’s Basilica centuries with the emergence of a Christian religious iconography and architecture based on Roman prototypes. The transfer of the Roman imperial capital to centuries were the principal Italian locations for the orientalizing aesthetic of the Byzantines. Spatially impressive central plans, lavish materials, sumptuous color, mysterious lighting, and stylized iconic representation characterize the architecture and mosaics of in VeniceSicily from the 9^th to 12^th centuries also introduced an oriental style of decorative magnificence, as evidenced by Petermo’s Palatine Chapel (1132-40).

Gardening

2008-10-04T17:45:00.000-07:00

The ancient art of gardening, the raising of one’s own flowers, shrubs, fruits, and vegetables within a limited area, is enjoying a contemporary renaissance as millions of Americans discover the satisfactions inherent in working the soil. Almost everyone who has access to bit of ground raises a few flowers, and it is estimated that perhaps half of all American families maintain vegetable gardens. The houseplant business is booming, and plant nurseries and florists have enjoyed record sales.

Soil for gardening must contain the essential nutrients to feed growing plants, and it must have a structure capable of holding air and moisture without becoming waterlogged. Soil analysis reveals nutritional deficiencies that may be remedied through the use of fertilizers, which add the minerals necessary for plant growth. Analysis also indicates the pH, or acidity alkaline, a pH rating of 7 is neutral, neither acid nor alkaline. Most garden plant thrive best at a pH of 6 to 7, although certain plants, such as blueberries and rhododendrons, need a higher acid level. Overacidity, the more usual problem, can be decreased by adding ground limestone. Overalkaline soils, which may cause yellowing in plants, can be treated by adding sulfur or gypsum.

In General soil structure is classified as sandy, clay, or loam, although most garden soils are mixtures of the three in varying proportions. A sandy soil is very loose and will not hold water. A clay soil is dense and heavy, sticky when wet, and almost brick hard when dry. Loam is a quantity of Humus, or decayed organic material, which loosens and aerates clay soil and binds sandy soil particles together. In addition, humus supplies nutrients. Soil structure can be improved by digging in compost, manure, peat moss, and other organic matter.

A good soil can be kept in good condition, year after year, by digging in decaying organic materials and by adding the recommended amounts of fertilizers, usually a compound commercial mixture sold at garden centers. Fertilizers should be applied only as recommended and never in excess.

To Design Building

2008-09-26T21:46:00.000-07:00

To design a house building can use a draw in a piece of paper, using simple drawing program that can show the form building and the color that may will use on the building or using complex drawing software like Autocad or other software purposed for building design.

Rough, study models can be made quickly using, cardboard, wooden blocks, polystyrene, foam, foam boards and other materials. Such models are an efficient tool for three-dimensional understanding of a design, used by architects, interior designers and exhibit designers. For a high detailed presentation model, architects would employ a professional model maker or model making company.

On design a house include as bellow:

Exterior models are models of buildings, which usually include some landscaping or civic spaces around the building.
Interior models are models of interior such as halls, rooms, floors showing interior planning, finishes, colors, furniture and beautification.
Landscaping design models are models of landscape design and development representing features such as walkways, small bridges, pergolas, vegetation patterns and beautification. Landscaping design models usually represent public spaces and may, in some cases, include buildings as well.
Urban models are models, typically built at a much smaller scale (starting from 1:500 and less, 1:700, 1:1000, 1:1200, 1:2000, 1:2000, representing several city blocks, even whole town or village, large resort, campus, industrial facility, military base and such. Urban models are a vital tool for town/city planning and development.
Engineering and construction models, showing isolated building/structure elements and components and their interaction.

Maximized House Design

2008-09-20T06:14:00.000-07:00

House design lately have developed very fast and many models that can choose from property developer. Currently design has improve minimalist design that need by limitation of land that available as we own. Many kind of building design as house can choose from certain models such as minimalist, modern, Mediterranean, classic and many others. This design also improves and develops as the era development and the trend that currently available.

The special design, minimalist have improved very fast and the most prefer of the most of people. This minimalist design should follow the trend that currently exist. People that choose this minimalist design usually young couple because of their urgent need for their family. This design is chosen because they assume that is suitable with their condition, family and economic conditions.

Minimalist design is not just architecture design but this is also the needed of modern management that should use minimal for maximal used. They use this design because of current world that is very materialist and they have a lot of requirement beside just resident. They have high mobility and need other transportation own for fulfill their requirement for their mobile.

Much architecture offer their new design especially for minimalist model for their resident, they used exposed material so have impress of downright, and not too over acting or seems too agresive. This can be assumed as young executive that want go to their office with elegant suit but not over style. But for old people who have established this model is not suitable for them. Minimalism movement represent of' back to 'basic' or return to moderation, it is said this movement arise in America representing which can be assumed as positive movement in a modern era.
