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 3x3m 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.
