Category: home gardening plant @ 11:10 pm

Harmony can mean beautiful. So even when applied in occupancy. For example, by integrating the concept of minimalist house with garden which is also a minimalist.

Unification of the house with a minimalist garden gives the impression believed to be more harmonious in the concept of minimalist architecture. Minimalist house has a simple structure, little ornaments, and more emphasis on the function space. Therefore, the park was created to accompany the concept of being loved this house should also be arranged in a minimalist. Plants or ornaments placed within a minimalist garden had to be sorted, select the appropriate features of a minimalist concept.

Better to park that was built to house minimalist house adapted to the concept that the overall impression of the building stronger and thicker minimalisnya characters. If minimalism combined with a garden house non-minimalist, like the Mediterranean or tropical gardens, it would blur the concept of building the house itself.

This, people often do, or because homeowners want to follow trends. For example, the house has a minimalist concept, but because the trend of tropical gardens, the owner of the house and then change the concept of the park that has been matched by follow-style residential gardens neighbor or relative.

In fact, if between house building and the park has the same concept, will be mutually reinforcing. Minimalist garden will further strengthen the concept of minimalist buildings. If mixed-mixed or combined with a concept that is not commensurate, the impression will not be displayed even maximal.

Just like decorating the building is minimalist, minimalist garden decorating is also not very difficult. In this minimalist concept, the simplicity is striking. However, the simplicity that is shown is a modern and elegant. Hard material (hardscape) or soft materials (softscape) also presented perfunctory, not excessive in number and type.

Typically, minimalist garden plants present only in a limited type. Minimum and maximum of only one type of three species of plants. Plants also tend to be simple and not too flashy. Nevertheless, the selected plant characters must be a strong feature minimalist impression. For example, the grass flat, a small clump of plants, plant species Imperata alangan a straight, or a tiny flowering plant.

Do not choose a lush plants because these plants better suited to fill the tropical garden. So also avoid a lot of twists and turns laying of plants or plant species that curve because chargers typically Mediterranean garden. Flower colors selected should be one color or one group. For example white or yellow color that reflects the minimalist impression.

If your pages are large enough, can bring the fish pond that is not too deep in one corner of the park. Her presence is intended to provide fresh and dynamic impression of the water and fish, which combined with the beauty of plants to minimize the impression of stiffness in these minimalist house building.

Ornaments garden lamps can also contribute to beautify your minimalist garden. However, do not be too light ornaments prominently displayed. For example by putting a stick on the fence or house. Lights do not stand alone. Should be merged with ornaments or other fields. The lighting was not too bright, just enough to give a rebound effect.

Luxury and simplicity in occupancy can be created through the types of furniture. Furniture models and materials can also give a different impression in each room.

To obtain the desired impression on a dwelling, the selection of furniture should be appropriate and in accordance with the concept of the building. For tropical minimalist house simple and minimal ornamentation, the right furniture is a practical and functional.

Not promote wealth detail. Natural shades and ethnicities for example, can be obtained through the material of the timber. By ‘soul’ ethnic owned, wood furniture appear increasingly bersahaja.Tidak simply unpretentious, for the sake of a sense of art, many people are looking for wood furniture that has a carved design with a touch of ethnic. The famous carving is carved from the city of Jepara.

Crafts carved from a town in Central Java is famous to many countries. Regarding the type commonly applied to wood filler room furniture, teak, Merbabu, and camphor is usually an option. For typical Jepara carving, although it was expensive, teak is still to be excellent because it is more powerful, durable, and easy not porous.

Teak wood is good with quality teak super 1, 2, and 3. To get a good teak wood, old wood becomes important things worth noting. Is the wood including wood species because of old or young age will affect the appearance of wood furniture that is produced. The reason is, the older the wood going to get better quality. Meanwhile, to see if the wood is old or young can see the diameter of the tree circumference.

If the age old wood, will be out platinanya. Platina is a kind of oil that comes out of the timber and serves to maintain the outer layer of the wood. Now, in addition to visible ethnic and strong, if you want to create teak furniture looks more luxurious with a glossy display can be used ambalo – a kind of tree sap that is processed – to create so much red wood color.

However, today, to make it shiny teak furniture can be coated with melamine. With melamine, other than teak wood furniture becomes more shiny, also makes you more durable furniture.

Home Grown Concept

Category: home gardening plant @ 12:02 pm

Limited land to make some people think shelter mengonsep them with home grown style. What kind of details?

Home grown architecture means that the building could have evolved or have additional space. There are two kinds of development, ie grow upwards or sideways.

Growing up means, we will build another floor on top of existing buildings. Usually for a limited land area. There is no other way except to build upwards. While growing to the side, meaning the ground that we still have ‘rest’ to be built, there perluasan.  No addition to the above because our land is still quite large.

Usually the concept of home grown adjusted to the lifestyle of their owners. Typically also, they feel the need to prepare the home for the next stage. Suppose that because there are estimates of family members increases or limited land. The concept is basically whatever the house is to be comfortable and functional occupancy.

However, in terms of architecture, home grown require “handling” is different. For example, in terms of construction. This is important especially if the home conceptualized to grow upwards.

The structure is not only a foundation that must be prepared to receive the load of the whole building is planned to be developed. For example, if we plan to create two-storey house, but the new one first floor is level, then we create a foundation, columns, and beams that support for the two since we first floor building.

While for the house to grow sideways, it’s worth considering the space plan. At the core housing, the need for major ruangruang priority. Such as for the living room, family room, enough room, bathroom, and kitchen. Spatial layout also needs to be designed as such. For example planning where stairs, toilets, parks, reservoir, and so forth.

In this case, the initial design factors are critical. After a core house is built, then the next house development can be done. If the remaining land is still quite large, can be used temporarily for the park. Outside view is very important. Raul Renanda suggested that the budget for outside larger exterior.

Make your home exterior is simple, powerful, and does not leak. Someday when there are more funds, the elements of “decoration” can we fix the exterior and slicked up. Different home grown “half-finished house.”

In addition to its exterior, the interior also needs to be addressed. However, the principle is appropriate. The concept could follow the concept of growing interior exterior. In a sense, more flexible interior space, can be replaced, modified, and styled with ease. Interior interior home grown just like a regular house. Can be adjusted with the function of existing space. For example the living room filled with furniture for sitting, reading, and so forth.
