How about a tree house? Yes, all children would never dream of having ‘tree house’. I wish it had a house in the trees, how nice, right? Little can be adventurous, climb trees and enjoy the view from up there. Although the space in it tends to not be too broad, but the experience of being in it would have made Little impression.
There are so many kinds of tree house designs, and materials used, of course wood. One of them is a tree house made of wood and plywood combined dolken thatched roof. According Yanto, tree house designer from Soda Design Communication, wood used for house walls should be selected tree is still a natural texture.
“Natural Texture of wood will make a tree house together with the main tree.’s Tree house should be built on top of large trunked tree in the courtyard strong and broad enough. But, now many people have the yard space, but baseball had a tree. Finally, many made of wood propped up wooden houses, small houses on stilts like a tree instead, “said Yanto.
Size varies a tree house, adapted to the diameter of the tree buffer. At one home made Soda Design tree, its size of about 2m x 2.8 m high building around 4 meters, and height from the ground about two meters. Uniquely, this tree house as if leaning into the wall. This is because the buffer of trees near the backyard wall.

To appear more natural, this tree also became part of the tree house, with a stem that went partially into the house. The roof of thatch which twined so strong that the water-tight. The model was built to resemble a tree house balcony. Without the wall at each side, only the guardrail alone.
“This is a tree house to function more as a place to relax, not be habitable space. To be more comfortable, give great carpet and a soft pillow,” suggested Yanto and explained, making a tree house price around USD 2 to 2.5 million / m2 .
However, in making a tree house – which is more “occupied” the kids – better pay attention to several things. Ideally, the height of the tree house from the ground no more than two meters, so as not to endanger the children who often ride down menyambanginya. FoundationCase steel can be chosen so that a stronger condition of the tree house. Of course it’s for safety and security of a happy Little imagination in her tiny house.
Design and finishing it can be made more attractive but still safe for children. To better meet the Little adventurous spirit, steps can be made from rope, or a ‘Fireman’s pole’ for ascending and descending more rapidly. Add to this slide and swing underneath, definitely exciting! The children become closer to nature, as well as outdoor exercise.

Fused with Nature Through The Wood House
Eksterior October 4th, 2010
Now, every human being should be part of the program “go green”. Ranging from global issues to the closest thing to our life, call it home.
Materials and concepts now becoming many ogled in the manufacture of customized home tend to go green with the theme or spirit of back to nature. The concept of this house then known as eco-friendly homes.
for wooden houses, the designs can be grouped into sections for modern day: Wooden Houses Wooden Houses Classic and Modern (Mixed). Classical types usually consist of only one floor, with a simple design like a gazebo or saung.
With a square roof forms, the four main pillars, and the design of rectangular-shaped house. Modern types are usually more inspired by the design house of modern concrete, wood replacement materials only. Usually consists of two floors or more, and its size was more pronounced at large.
Modern Wood House or modern wooden house when it’s started to become popular. The desire to be back to nature alias closer to nature to be the reason. Presenting nan beautiful natural atmosphere at home is the way people lived the big city to keep the rural feel of natural comfort, feel the cooler weather, and naturalness that is currently more difficult to find, especially in Jakarta.
Coupled with erratic weather conditions caused by global warming, wooden house is the perfect solution. Natural wood color with distinctive veining and tektrunya, will reflect light which can create unique visual effects, attractive, and of course natural.
Timber home design in principle the same as a standard house. The difference, aesthetic elements in timber houses more’ll enjoy. Wood material is very supportive of the aesthetics, though sometimes a bit complicated when compared to the value function, because its shape was not so simple if only made of concrete or cement.
For example, stairs in the house, if made of wood, the designs will look more exotic, complicated, and certainly more aesthetically pleasing. Finally, the steps do not only serve as a foothold to get to the top floor of the house, but also the interior ornamentation of high artistic merit.
Furthermore, the concept of wooden house walls are differentiated based on the panel. Some wear a single panel (single panel), and there is a double (double panel). If you want to be placed in a wooden house in a city like Jakarta, it is better to use double-pane to make it more comfortable.
Due to the nature of the wood more quickly to expansion and contraction when exposed to heat, so the possibility of estrangement in the first layer composition of the panel. However, the panel can be covered with second layer.
Wooden house was basically an area like a house on uumnya standards, because the function just the same. While for the gazebo or saung, standard sizes ranging from 2m x 2m, or adjusted widely owned pages.
Good Quality

Regardless of the type of house of choice, of course you already know, the basic properties of wood. You could say not as strong as concrete material is wood or iron. Wood even had many weaknesses. So, you have very clever menyiasatinya.
Therefore, the end result of high aesthetic value, sometimes many people inevitably would bear the risk. For example, termites eat wood, color and structural changes when exposed to wood heat and rain, damp, and others.
Well, one of the preventive measures to prevent due to the bad, to choose good quality wood material. For example, the specification for the main frame house can use iron wood (knock down, waterproof, anti-termite), nyatoh wooden ceiling, battens from borneo wood, door frames and windows from iron wood, leaves, wood doors and windows from nyatoh, skeleton roof / wooden horses from the iron.
The rest can use the same standard material used in concrete houses. And to avoid the damp, can disiasati using GRC (panels made from cement with fiberglass fibers) as the interior, so that the inside of the house still resembles a stone wall that can be painted. Wood panels used only on the outside only.
Currently home prices offered by the service timber architecture can reach Rp 2.5 to 2.75 million / m 2, has included the design and implementation. While for the manufacture of the gazebo, where material is an ornamental garden wood, pegged at Rp 2 to 2.5 million / m 2, even this adjusted by design.
If you’re still confused by its design, you may request assistance from an architect or landscaper services to make the concept of a tree house, wooden house, gazebo or the aesthetic, functional, and according to trends. Welcome back to nature!
Gardenia, The Enchantment of the Fragrance Diffuser
Gardening October 4th, 2010
Gardenia (Gardenia soniapedro) or better known as the gardenia widely planted as an ornamental plant in pots or as a hedge plant.
Flowers fragrant aroma and distinctive. The flowers were beautiful, shaped like roses with circular canopies and canopy-tiered. Flower color of white and yellow. The leaves are oval, thick, smooth and shiny on the upper surface of the palm leaf.
This plant is estimated to come from China or Japan, but has long been grown in Indonesia. In addition to the home page, this one also worthy of plants planted in the yard office, parks, or in the street as an ornamental plant.
Originally, he is a plant protector, so no wonder if the gardenia is also easy to grow wild in the open.
Today, more and more species, from a small-leaved large-leaved, small-flowered large flowers, and even now there are double flowered.
Initially, even until now, the color white dominated, but now there are also yellow.
“There is also gardenias flower color from white to yellow. So, when young white, for yellow over time, “said Ir. Slamet Budiarto, Operations Manager Godong Ijo, Sawangan, who also developed various types of gardenias.
Rajin Flower
Gardenia actually includes a large crop protection. No wonder if he has a decent editorial meeting.
Height can reach 5 meters in the open. However, if we are planting gardenias when small, and often trimmed, gardenias can also become a kind of short shrubs, with 1 to 1.5 meters high.
Gardenia is also wonderful in the garden or potted plant because it has a lush leaf (compact) as well as with interest.
“So not only can be a shade tree, it is also feasible planted in pots (pot plant),” said Slamet. This single-leaved plant, with oval-shaped leaves ovate or elongated.
Better in the Open
Gardenia can flourish in places open and exposed to direct sunlight. Also suitable is planted in an area of about 400-600 meters high above sea level.
If planted in a somewhat protected, although still able to live and blossom, but the results are not as good in an open location.
Gardenias from large-leaved species only able to hold two days. Cuma, said Slamet, when they bloom in unison, it looks very exotic and uniformly white. “Although only hold two days, he can continue to bloom and go, even in the rainy season though. Usually, the type of plants that require full heat is not flowering in the rainy season, but not gardenias. He can still flowering in the rainy season, “continued Slamet.
Balanced NPK
The most common gardenia Propagation is by grafting, but can also by cuttings and grafting. Because the truth is a kind of shade plants, when planted in pots, it requires a fairly heavy planting media.
“Media cropping is a mixture of red soil, charcoal, husk, cocopeat, plus a little manure. Roots very quickly, so if we use the very crust of the media, during the dry season should be watered frequently, especially if the pot too small. We recommend that you select a pot that is large enough compared tajuknya, “said Slamet.
However, in general, relatively easy to care gardenia. Watering is done once a day, ie every morning. Fertilization can be done two times a month with a balanced NPK. Occasionally (10 days) must be given to insecticides and fungicides to prevent pest attack.
“Hamanya baseball a lot, really, the only white worms and lice. This mealybug will breed well in humid areas or too dense, or if gardenias planted in the shade of other trees. If planted in open areas, many pests will not attack, “said Slamet.
