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.

Know Your Air Conditioning

Category: home gardening plant — @ 11:54 am

Today air conditioning is no longer a luxury item. From the cheap to a lot of helpless small watt on the market.

This time we will not talk about the design of the house, but more directed at the question of how should the AC at home. Recently, some literature has ever made a topic often presents a high level of comfort at home. But, be careful! Not all the information referring to the tropical climate. Moreover, different temperatures in each city. Even so, whether or not using air conditioning machines (air conditioner / air conditioning) should be considered.

The main reason to use air conditioning, divided into four factors, namely temperature, pollution, space design, and poor circulation. Whose name is the temperature that’s not necessarily. Sometimes cold, sometimes hot. Hence, more air conditioning is needed. At least the hot air can be cold. Room temperature also became the most common reasons people use when her home was in hot climates.

Second, pollution can also be the right reasons. Not only air pollution, noise pollution can be addressed by AC. Air-conditioned room sealed indirectly restrain the voices that came out and walked into the room. For example, if you have a house adjacent to the factory, in addition to air pollution, the sound of factory machinery often disturbing the peace. Another example, if your home is close to the smell of river flow or the house on the edge of a noisy highway. AC could be the perfect solution to muffle.

Third, the design space could also lead occupants to use the AC. Suppose you were forced to create a room that has no sides in contact with the outside area, do not automatically have access to fresh air. Another example, if you have a basement at home, inevitably rely on the creation of conditioned air.

Fourth, poor circulation. Expensive land prices in Jakarta, forcing people who inhabit the dense residential area. The distances between houses very close together. Whether it sideways, forwards, or backwards. Worse yet, sometimes the only air circulation from the front of the house. Because it is necessary to expedite the circulation of conditioned air.

Watch Care

In order for air-conditioning equipment to produce the ideal temperature and humidity, would need maintenance. One of them with clean air filters on air conditioners are a vital component.

For home air conditioning, minor routine maintenance should be made between two weeks to a month. The duration of treatment time is very dependent on the location of the house. If the location is close to highways or in crowded environments, light treatment should be done every two weeks. Similarly, if the weather was very hot. Because usually, followed by a lot of dust.

When the house was in a relatively clean environment, routine maintenance can distance is longer, about a month. The complete treatment can be done in three or four months.

Major maintenance includes cleaning all indoor and outdoor components. Freonnya pressure checked at the same time to determine whether or not a leak. AC treatment becomes a very important part to fungi, viruses, or bacteria do not nest there.

For hygienic, air-conditioned room and equipment was also suggested leaving small vents for air circulation. The replacement air can minimize the spread of germs. However, should the air hole is not too large so that the AC did not work hard and wasteful of electricity.

Choosing Freon

Use air-conditioning refrigerant, or more commonly known as freon also must not be indiscriminate. To use AC house, which is widely used is Freon R22.

Freon charging should be done after the air filter cleaning and maintenance. Never use a special freon to a car at a local air conditioning because of the pressure difference can be an explosion.

Category: home gardening plant — @ 3:08 am

Dwelling in urban areas sometimes seem barren and dry. The presence of hard elements (hardscape) more comfortable home environment atmosphere.

However, do not mean you should give up on that state, is not it? Section, which impressed the heavy environment can intelligently laid out by presenting the elements of the software (softscape) as a counterweight, such as plants and water.
As a result, your home will be a great place because there is a green oasis.

To make your page like a green oasis or a soft rug baby play area, especially if it’s not the presents, petite green plants. Yes, the grass can turn into a beautiful element with dual functions; enhance your home faces, the base stand and play comfortably, and provide shade and natural impression in the home environment.

This green oasis you can spread out in the garden or yard. No need broad. Page or a little vacant land can also be transformed into a playground of soft bath rug in a family neighborhood. However, keep in mind is the selection of space with the type of grass will be planted.

It’s important to do so the park does not look full of grass. He gave an example, for a small space, a suitable type of grass is planted elephant grass mini. Grass species has small leaves with leaf growth is slow, so it does not need frequent pruning.

In addition to the mini elephant species, other grasses can be planted in a narrow land is grass and grass golf japan. Meanwhile, for the vast land, elephant grass can be selected. Grass is often called elephant grass usually has large leaves with rapid growth. Therefore, if you choose this type of grass, need routine maintenance.

In addition to land use, intake of sunlight are also required to be taken into account. Minimum half-day, grass should get sunlight for photosynthesis.

The location is ideal to plant grass on the east west. The reason, the sun radiates its rays began in the morning until noon in the east, the next day until the afternoon turned to the west.

Planting media and the porosity of the media shall also be noted that the grass is not easy to die. Do not plant grass in the soil was too dry because the grass will die. The presence of large trees, also should be reduced because of the shadow tree will banish the sun toward the grass, which incidentally is located at the bottom and small.

If the carpet has been laid on the grass of your garden, care and maintenance such as watering, fertilizing, and pruning, should be routinely performed.

In addition, if there are other plants or some kind of weeds in your lawn, you should immediately be revoked because it may interfere with the growth of other grasses, can also damage the appearance of the carpet life.

Meanwhile, not all types of grass suitable for all land. Grass is the most “stubborn” because it is easy maintenance is a mini elephant grass, while the type of grass that has a high degree of difficulty in treatment is a type of grass golf.

The main thing that is important to plant grass is considered in land use, namely a minimum of 5 x 10 meters. In addition, the grass certainly should get enough sunlight to survive. The presence of grass in the park shelters will be a green oasis in the wilderness of the concrete jungle city that increasingly fierce and barren.
