The concept of a green house, often associated with many plants, it is not entirely true, Because the concept of ‘green’ Can Also be determined by other elements Poor ‘construction, utility buildings, water treatment, building materials and others. Various articles in the media showed great interest in the ‘green’ concept. One was in an article in the newspaper Sindo, Which took its reference from astudio blog:)

In the Koran Sindo:
IF you want to build a house, meredekorasi part or rebuild the house, maybe you can consider an environmentally friendly home design or architectural green house.

Actually the concept of eco-friendly homes with the concept of nature or natural home. Use of materials such as wood or bamboo material can become very thick.

“To build environmentally friendly homes can be started from the roof. You can use the sun roof thus reducing electricity usage, “says architect Andi Haryadi.

You can use solar panels on the roof of the house using a technology called triple-junction thin film amorphous silicon. This solar cell is formed such as roof tiles and roof tiles may be installed in general, then paired to power your home.

Any material that actually friendly to build houses? According to architect Probo Hindarto on its website, environmentally friendly material that has some reservations.

The first requirement is that the material was not toxic, both before and after use. Furthermore, one can connect us with nature. That is, you can get closer to nature because of the natural impression of the material stuff. For example bricks will remind you of the land, timber, and trees. In addition, raw materials can easily decompose naturally.

astudio One friend, Elly’s mother Hanifa send an email to ask about a few things to consider when going to renovate the house he owned for 21 types into two floors. Maybe someone among you who have similar problems? Indeed, things around the foundation, structural system, sanitation system placement, placement of space and other things must be planned carefully first before building, in order to avoid mistakes that will require us to spend more money again in the future.

1. Is there a difference between the foundation structure, one-story house with two floors?
There. The difference in the strength of the foundation, whose relations at large and the number of columns and beams are used. Foundation for the two floors of course have to fit and strong for the two floors, so there is a possibility of a floor foundation must be dismantled, altered, added or replaced so much stronger.

2. However, if the initial foundation structure was reserved only for the one-story building if I can fix the foundation but did not change the total existing foundation in order to save costs?
Fixing the foundation of two floors to one floor, is possible. Usually, the addition. But first, must be done first checks on whether the foundation is feasible or not in use, whether it just needs to be added. What more if this is a residential house, sometimes the structure and foundation system is not feasible even for only one floor. Columns that support the weight of two floors to be more powerful because its burden is greater. Sometimes need to be given a new column to reduce the amount of arch beams and columns. Determination of the point and an additional column should be consulted on the structure of expert, considering it involves the safety of buildings.

3. According to Mr. Probo, roof dak / concrete whether it is more efficient arrangement of space (let no rat in the roof), what are the disadvantages?. Such as concrete roof room picture possible if I apply this model?

Roof not good enough to use, especially when there are functions thereon, such as the desire for additional room mother, or want to have open space at the top of the house for a family gathering while enjoying the free air. For the rat problem, actually the roof with ceiling could get free regular mice, if properly planned or made, such as lack of access to these rodents to enter. Models such as this send a very good mother and can be made. I also found some space under the roof at home, in my opinion quite interesting idea. Except for regions with hot climate, influenced the level of temperature in this room is definitely hot enough.

4. If the building comprises two floors I do not want to position the ladder near the kitchen because usually wet and slippery.
Yes mother. But it also depends on the condition of her kitchen. For the kitchen now, a lot of it has been well designed so that the floor was not wet or slippery. And this can be planned through the design process with architect mother.

5. If possible, how and where the position to make the well recharge area of rain with the size of the ground like me?
Basically rainwater infiltration wells can be made anywhere, either at the front of the building, side or rear. This is for rain water infiltration. When to recharge from septic tanks, must be considered when the mother uses the well situated for household consumption. The distance should be more than 10 meters so that water is not polluted. Rainwater recharge wells can also be equipped with rain-fed reservoir or basin. The goal is that rainwater can be collected in advance at rain-fed tanks, then poured into wells resapannya new. This rain water can be used to irrigate the plants around the house, to wash their bodies, or other purposes, even for flush water closet.

6. From the initial plans, the distance between the wells with a WC of about 2 m, is it safe? If it does not fit should I unload / reset? If no objection can be described well position / PAM with a WC and a good septic tank to be safe.
Distance is not safe, so it should be moved only septic tank. When mothers are planning or have a carport at the front (in addition to living room), could be placed there. Currently there is also a product of septic tanks is a very private form of a planted tank is a direct and very low levels of pollution due to use of bacterial decomposition of waste. This system can use a recharge well those far from well, even channels can be directly channeled to the sewers.

Designing home (or any building), is taking things easy is difficult. It’s easy when we already have such a clear image of what a cool house design. Difficult if we do not have a clue. When one of designing, there arose a problem later on, like a dark room, a stuffy kitchen, which confused the window, the roof form is not known, the walls and the color looks dull or inappropriate material, or impressed patchwork room impose too much room. Sometimes it can be very helpful if we already have the architects or designers who are ready to think about various factors that need to be considered in designing the layout of the house.

I often find the father and mother who wants to ask me to draw a house, come, meet, or send an email with the original design made itself, such as pencil on paper improvise, or graph paper. Frankly, when looking at pictures like this, I am definitely very interested, because this picture is a picture that represents the beginning of the content of the liver and the real desire of the client. Another factor, I will listen to or ‘reading’ earnest desire and hope that is implied in the conversation.

Often, the desire in fact emerged from a conversation that can not be replaced by the desire of my own as an architect. For example: “How ya mas, if there is a place to sit and eat near the kitchen?” This means that the intended client is not usual or customary dining table dining room. Because here it is the desire to have some sort of holder or seat extends from the rear brick wall near the park, as is usual eating habits-rural village. Often, rural people like to eat in the back of the house, sitting on the patio, chatting casually. Things like this a lot of implicit, not explicit:) Of course, as an architect, when I’m selfish, it would impose a dining room with luxury design sparkling with the standard 3×4 meter, for example. But whether the client would like to design my dining room that ..?

A room, can not simply drawn on paper with the notation “3×3 meters”, but must be imagine in the mind of a designer. There are so many factors

To design, in fact when taking the easy step, is by scribbling a quick line drawings. For this method, was the customary way and quickly carried out, however, many other factors must be considered. We can not just make a picture box as a wall inscribed with 3×3m living room with a size of 3×3 meters. There are many things to consider, especially for this room alone, for example:

* Where the location of doors and windows,
* How to form ceiling,
* What kind of atmosphere inside the space,
* Arrangement of furniture to the circulation in the room,
* The influence of climate and comfort of biophysics,
* Whether the form of windows and doors shall be in accordance with the overall design of the house.
* What if there was a fish pond to cool the living room?
* Or if the owner likes the openness or not too happy about the open (with big windows).
* Etc.

Various factors above, which may be only a few considerations to design a room, will be more complex when associated with

* Construction of structures and systems,

A good system of construction, was planned from the beginning. Among others, to anticipate changes and additions to the design.

* Look of home design,
* Relationship with the land and the environment,
* Lifestyle homeowners
* Social environmental factors and lifestyle surrounding communities
* And so forth (much more:)

Here, I did not try to exaggerate the reality of many factors ‘hidden’ to think of an architect, because it is so, and as the architect of the task to process it all the more appropriate design (architect headache imaginable .. hehehe) . Architects usually in collaboration with other experts such as Mechanical Electrical for electrical plan, civilian experts to plan the system construction, plumbing experts to plan the water system clean and dirty water.

Nevertheless, architects are expected to have knowledge medasar about the house and various systems within, and not all architects are able to process a variety of factors well, depending on the level of design maturity, experience and thought he had. By thinking things over, and according to personal experience in designing homes and other buildings, there are many factors ‘hidden’ when designing their home.
