Flounderville Home Improvement

Maybe a month ago, in an occasion attended a presentation where the majority of the students and employees are housing developers, I’m talking about simple ways to be more responsive home environment. In urban areas, less land, so land prices up which resulted in more and more people trouble to buy a house. Impact; number of occupants in a house to rise as an increase in the number of family members, and other factors are contributing to the natural conditions that have been disrupted.

If at this time we can have a house, it is the grace and luxury that we’re grateful for, especially if the house we live in is a healthy home. What are the elements that should be considered in designing the layout plan and arrangement of space for a healthy home?

The first thing to note is the area of healthy homes, must meet at least basic human needs for healthy activity, in this case means to perform activities normally in the room, not too small or too big. Of course, we still often hear many of our brothers who live in less capable or less worthy condition in which the houses are narrow because of economic factors are less supportive.

According to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), needs space to house an inmate is 9m2, with a 7.2 m2 threshold. So for example a planned house inhabited by 4 people, then the area should house no less than 36m2. However, we know that the residential area of 36 square meters are occupied by narrow enough for 4 people.

If the home is planned to be added to rooms in the level, do not forget to strengthen the foundation and structural support columns to be built on two levels. This is to avoid the additional costs of having to dismantle the existing construction.

The arrangement of the room can affect our impression of these spaces. Bedroom with bathroom adjacent to a different ‘feel’ when compared with matched dining room. Smart spatial layout in this case including how to activities such as the bathroom does not interfere with the dining room, at least with the distance away.

Spatial planning should also be noted that there are no spaces that poor fresh air, dark, and so on. Avoid corner rooms with a sharp angle because this space is not effective and not in accordance with the general standard of furniture rectangular or round. Connect the ventilation and the windows of each room with a garden front, side or garden in the house for change of air. Spaces that can be linked as living room, family room and dining room does not need to be insulated wall to allow air to flow more freely.

To maximize natural lighting, we should provide windows enough, at least 5% of the room. In addition, the space can be wall paint or finishing material to the atmosphere light bright enough space when opening the window a bit limited.

Spaces that require water such as kitchens, bathrooms, sinks and the like should be grouped in an area adjacent to sanitation is more efficient because the pipes can be incorporated. Similarly, with a bathroom above and below, should be in the same vertical area (the bathroom is a bathroom above the bottom) so that if there is any leakage, simply wet the affected area.
