tropical-home-eksteriorTropical modern architecture is the development of traditional architecture with the addition and adjustment of modern public life. Tropical modern architecture has distinctive aesthetic values of modern tropical building (a friendly tropical environment, according to the present), model building has eternity in terms of design and art, as well as correct in terms of function, requirements, climate, and environment.

The ability to accommodate building a tropical climate state residents more comfortable and energy efficient. Tropical modern house exists as a home inhabited, attractive design view, and responsive to the tropical climate. Life in the tropics environmentally friendly home requires a hot tropical and humid, and rainy season and summer turns throughout the year. The house was designed by considering and utilizing resources in an optimal natural light and air into the house.

Every room in the house lit by natural light throughout the day coming in through the wide door openings and window vents (ventilation) around the building, and skylights in some corner of the roof ceiling. Room was bright and fresh throughout the day (morning-afternoon).

Cross circulation of fresh air to flow smoothly into the ceiling and the roof high enough (2,5-3 meters) to create space feel fresh, not stuffy or damp, and minimize the use of a fan or air conditioner.

The house is not just a shelter from the sun or rain, but home is where the socialization process of a human being with family. Wide eaves to shade the porch, building, and problem-solving tempias rain. Under the eaves where the rain fall created a dry garden with a linear elongated coral surface that allows water absorption, while eliminating the guttering is often blocked or leaking. When the rain, walls and floors are not muddy and slippery, clean the walls of mud spray.

Openness and relations between the liquid space to the circulation space was flowing from front to back until the top. Joint space is provided as a mono mix of activities, such as living room and family room, living room, dining room and kitchen, living room and study together.

Excess modern house accommodating tropical tropical climate makes the house feel more alive and warm. The combination of wisdom architecture (traditional) tropical, fulfilling the needs of modern life, and modern materials (concrete, steel, glass, fiberglass) and natural materials (wood, stone, brick, terracotta).

Processing of local materials (stone, brick, terrazzo, coral, wood, coconut, bamboo, water hyacinth, banana stem) with the appropriate creative and long-lived buildings, efficient maintenance, and provide value-added tropical exotic whole building. Interwoven industrial technological progress (precision, cold) and the culture of craftsmen (natural, warm) make it look more warm house and give the building a strong character.

Making voids and voids the proper distribution and uniform in tropical klimatik maintain the smooth functioning of air circulation and natural light into the house. The top of the pergola void of useful features to filter the sunlight and the intensity of light katalitas changing, as well as rain water tempias on all four sides of the building walls.

The sensitivity of tropical modern architecture open to encourage the building exterior as a whole is balanced. Space in, terrace and garden as a whole expansion of space. That is, activities that take place in the space can be drawn on the terrace next to the park, such as the function of the dining room during a family party.

The presence of value-added garden buildings. Ecological value is very thick. Garden tropical modern emphasis on the use of some types of plants (grasses or other plants pengalas, 1-3 trees, bamboo barrier), giving a strong green effect, the spread of coral and water absorption wells 2-3 (enlarge resap groundwater resources), as well as easy maintenance.

Settlement plaster walls and cement floors, exposed concrete, doors and windows with plain wooden exposure or without frames, construction cost, but capable of displaying the beauty of the building. The wall is covered with trees to muffle the noise, absorb pollutant gases, solar radiation resist, and cool temperature in the room.

Limited land and the consequences of land up to encourage the development of grass roofs replace conventional roof. The presence of functional trees filter the sun coming over (reducing heat in the building, preserving the paint walls), creating shade, and shadow effect on the walls and floors.

home-wall-glassesAlthough not dominate the entire wall shelters, glass has become part of the architecture of the house. Then, if the glass-walled house was to be a trend?

According to architect Denny Setiawan, glass-walled house is not a trend, because the house is designed by using glass as wall material is usually applied based on the needs and place.

“The use of glass walls are also due to developing a modern style that has begun to crawl in Indonesia. As we know, more modern design leads to the glass material,” he said.

Therefore, the use of glass in the house can not be measured by how many percent of the glass material that must be applied to the walls of the house. Because, all tailored to the needs of the owner of the house.

Talk about the glass walls of adaptive in the country, probably due more to follow Indonesia’s more modern style. Application of glass walls in a residential home will look luxurious and modern.

No wonder, the glass material is quite expensive so valuable because it is prone to rupture, so the glass craftsmen to rack my brain for modifying this type of material that is not easily broken. Make a glass-walled house is quite expensive compared to residential brick or concrete.

That means, you have a little drain bag. Thus, when you want to apply the glass on the wall, you should consider the needs of these materials. Read the rest of this entry »
