The wall is a massive four-part field in the house that functions as a barrier or partition between one space and another space. Without the wall, maybe the house would not be like a regular building we live in today.

However, the "problem" then arises, whether the wall will be left plain with no decoration and style? Of course there are various ways to beautify the walls, among other games with paint colors or get creative with various forms of creative options such as game wallpaper (wallpaper), the game wall textures, and cutting stickers.

Architect Erlavina Prahesti said, to use cutting sticker, the most important note is the wall where it would apply pretty element. We recommend that the wall is not damp and clean in order to facilitate the installation. Second, it should be noticed that there is furniture in the room. We recommend cutting theme stickers conform with the existing furniture and accessories in the room in order to create a harmonious unity in the room.

"To mix and match the cutting sticker with the existing furniture and accessories in the house, one way is to determine the theme of space is adjusted prior to the function space. For example the living room, bedroom, dining room, child's bedroom, and playroom. Then each space according to its function has jenisfurnitur or accessory and its own theme as well, "

Alternatively, Vina said, the walls are brightly colored or white plain strong impression given by strictly applying colored furniture and cutting sticker that tends to offset the color of furniture or vice versa. Thus, the impression created by cutting the sticker can be a focal point in the room.

Meanwhile, special for the nursery or child's room is still small, cutting stickers to create the atmosphere of the room more "live" with colors that are very diverse. Start soft colors for bedrooms infants to be bright colors suitable to be applied in the bedroom or child playroom. The theme can be selected according to the wishes and tastes of the child. With the record, the child understands about his favorite.

Third is a form or model of cutting sticker itself. Basically cutting the sticker is that you can paste ornaments kreasikan own taste to create more living space.

Regarding the color, Vina said, usually cutting sticker color choices depend on the color of the walls. Suppose a piece of dark sticker or firm will be more alive on a sunny wall or vice versa. Other applications are quite unique, namely by making the color of the walls are nearly matching the color of his cuttingstiker.

"However, in order to look more attractive, the kind of cutting his chosen stickers that glow in the dark or berglitter so keep it prominent and beautiful,"

Cool concept Resort Residential

Trent back to nature apparently did influence the concept of the present house. The concept of the resort as an alternative to this natural shelter. What are the forms and applications?

Return of lifestyle trends close to nature in the big cities or metropolitan areas to make the needs of society against gayarumah that intersect with the natural re-stretched. The concept resort for example. This design can be said are sought after because of characteristics of the residents of the house away from the hustle and visit only during holidays or on weekends.


According to architect Andrea Herman, the resort is actually an area or commercial area for people to stay that integrated with all the entertainment and recreational facilities. However, many people interpret the concept of the resort is a facade houses and tropical architecture. This concept is often found in suburban or rural areas far from urban hustle and visited only during the holidays.

It should be noted, the concept of the resort has a characteristic, which is widely present in the field. Its main characteristic is the existing facilities and the function itself. Andrew mentions, home resort concept in general is designed to hide out or escape the house owner from daily life.

"If the facades of buildings such as the typical beach, it is not a resort concept, but the concept of vernacular architecture,"

So, how to design it? Andrew reveals, the first thing to consider before designing the house concept is topography. Topographic conditions are important when it comes to designing a house concept. In a sense, he added, whether the land is contoured, how the climate conditions in the area, dinginkah or hot, tropical and lembapkah?

"Things like that, who should we as architects must be observant in a deal with the existing topography and process into one that has potential value in everything,"

The next thing is important to note is the condition of land area. Home resort concept tends to require land large enough to support the existing facilities in it. So even with its vernacular architecture, the location of the home is located. Usually legacy or heritage of the previous architecture reflects against the forces of nature.

"It's different when you design a resort concept in urban areas like Jakarta. A limited area would become a major issue to make homes in the dense urban areas. Therefore, in Jakarta may be more residential resort concept not a home resort. For example, Hilton-Jakarta, "

About finishing and interior, according to the Architect of PT Mandiri Eka Abadi this, it was related in terms of its maintenance. When the house was rarely occupied, then you have to design the air flow and humidity in the home location area well.
So even with the selection of materials should be low maintenance as possible and which has a power save enough heat so that the release of calories at night when residents do not have adequate space to maintain humidity.

Meanwhile, to order interior, interiors and furniture in general, adopt many tropical architecture and wood dominated because it gives the impression of warmth in the house. Nevertheless, he added, that does not mean every time you make a concept resort always using wood materials for the use of material in a product architecture that relies on the availability of materials, location and topography, material properties, humidity, and temperature above, below, and comfort zone, and cost.

Beautify surprises Occupancy

Ideal home not only physically beautiful, but inwardly and psychic also fit with the inhabitants. That all could be realized through the way you organize interiorrumah accordance with the spirit and the character himself.

The house is ideal in mind and psychic means, the residents can feel comfort in the house. Residents can freely mingle and express mutual expressions with family members, as well as a shelter from the rain and heat.


According to architect Briyan Talaosa, beauty like ocean without borders. Standards of each course different audience-beda.Rumah also has a certain beauty standards that benchmark as well as its criterion vary between one and another. Barometer could have your choice from the comfort of circulation space when it comes to interior design or the suitability of the theme of the entire facade of the building exterior when the associated scope.

The same architect submitted Erlavina Prahesti, but with an emphasis on the exterior appearance. Erlavina say, the view is something that looks and can be enjoyed visually. So, the discussion about tampilanrumah means that home addresses seem to be interesting.

Erlavina reveals, there are several things that must be considered in order to get a home look beautiful, among them the formation of the exterior wall structure. There are three things you can do to make the walls look more interesting.
The first form of the wall. Usually the wall would be more interesting if the impression rhythm back and forth, the curve of a wall niche or coakan are only made straight and memorable monotone.

The second is the exterior wall finishing. Erlavina said, now many types of exterior wall finish obtained with certain techniques and use of certain materials, such as finishing with natural stone, rough finishing, and lines or comb.

The latter is the color of the walls. The color of the exterior wall can be obtained through natural color finishing material. For example, call Erlavina, natural color or colors of natural stone made by staining the wall paint.

Another thing that is important to determine levels of beauty and comfort of home, the suitability of the building interior and exterior theme. "Compliance is a key theme to be whether the building is beautiful to be enjoyed or not," said Erlavina.

Although the development houses are not only confined to a theme for a building because sometimes we can combine the two themes in one building. Take for example klasikmodern, tropical-oriental, and the minimalist-Mediterranean. Basically a combination of two themes can be applied to the principle of mutual perfected so that the form that appears on the building will be something new and not unique or even memorable weird.

"I think the adjustments theme with interior and exterior of buildings is one barometer. Similarly, the design of other sciences, for example fashion. The model can be very beautiful when seen in proportion costume worn attached to the body. Sure costume was not alone. There is a make-up, no hair, no accessories, to the lighting (in a fashion show) which of course helped design costumes that used to be more beautiful. The building design also apply the same thing, "

In addition to the role beautify the exterior appearance of homes, the inside such as furniture, wall color, lighting, frames, artwork, and other accessories that have a similar room was supposed to have principles. You do this by taking into account aesthetics, flow, proportion, and other aspects into a single unit forming harmony.

Another example, usually by always presenting something that is surprising in a room whose purpose is to give emphasis or focal point in a certain area. "And something that may surprise you just created from the color of paint on one side of the wall or by using other accessories, such as a lamp that turns the material is made of actual objects rather than to light, such as fish cages. During the final outcome of your exploration is to create beautiful imagery in a room in the dwelling place of residence, be legitimate, ".

Occupancy Cheerful Christmas Greet

Fir trees following Hu-kerlipnya fairy lights seems to be the identity nan cheerful Christmas celebration. The atmosphere is more upbeat on the big day will be created when supported in a slightly different arrangement of the house than usual.

By Christmas, some people intentionally change the look of their home to appear more different and interesting. One of the dominant or definitive way is by presenting a Christmas tree. In addition, the atmosphere is always fun to be created in each room.


Architect Andrew Herman states, there is some room for the most major overhaul, including tamu.Prinsip in the living room is kumpulkumpul and fun. So, to keep in mind the atmosphere you want created.

"The atmosphere was not festive Christmas. So, the atmosphere in the room tersebutlah should be lifted. Usually the concept is different than usual, especially in terms of lighting. Lighting in the living room more lively and bright, "

Light here means a festive Christmas, but also warm. For that, the nuances that formed should have a similar principle, namely the atmosphere cozy and warm. You do this by selecting the indirect light.

"While his direct light can be taken from the Christmas tree. So, the atmosphere is light but warm, "


In addition to lighting, to create the feel of Christmas in the house, which is important for your Christmas present is an accessory. Take for example the leaves of pine that you can shape into one of the accessories such as ring-shaped tree that is usually displayed at the front door. In addition, visual or audio effects from the Christmas tree. For example, the effect of snow that can be created from cotton or foam.

"Do not forget to note the character or nature of his office. Because, do not have all your space with the dominant design for Christmas. There are times when certain spaces that are private such as bedrooms, need not dominant. Simply put some accents on the headboard, the Christmas atmosphere can be created, "


As for the category of public space, said Andrea, who wants to rely on the concept developed. Because, Andry said, could have everything in the house used as an accent so that space becomes festive. Note also the spatial dimension. When the vast space is limited, the concept could be applied in order to accommodate lesehan many people. However, still note the people who came.

"The example of parents. There are times when a parent or grandparent does not match the concepts that need to be considered lesehan seat height and comfort level, "

Note also the placement of accessory systems. When in the foyer, you should put in the position of center of the room.

"So when people come first direct knowing 'oh were celebrating'. For example, put the Christmas tree in the center hall foyer. Or another example, put a long table and the top could be placed some Christmas ornaments, "


While other rooms besides the living room, usually a nice accessory would be placed in the corner. Because, generally when I'm doing the celebration of multiple points of space into a "dead".

Special dining room and kitchen, should the concept be made into one with the concept of standing or buffet. In addition to creating their interactions, the concept is also much easier to implement, especially for limited land. If one wants to put a sofa, choose a comfortable. As for choosing his desk, consider the types of foods and how many people are invited. This will determine how big the table is needed. Alternatively, could use a table minibar as a place of food.

Residential Cool Without AC

Climate change in Indonesia as we require to find tricks to outsmart the heat levels inside the house. No doubt, the air conditioner (AC) is often identified as one solution. In fact, the house can still be cool even without air conditioning.


Architect Briyan Talaosa revealed, could have a house does not use air conditioning at all. With notes, the house has many openings such as windows or bouven to wind circulation path.

"But, for areas such as Jakarta is hot enough to sting, it seems quite difficult. Because when opening a lot, definitely a lot of dust which will go well. Not surprisingly, the option to not use more air conditioning was applied in a cool area or minimal dust pollution. Uncommon (occur) when in Jakarta, "

Something similar is said architect Andrew Herman. According to him, a house without using air conditioning could have been total. However, all depends on the climate, location, topography, and coordinates, including the zone of the area where the house? "Maybe it could be focused on houses in Jakarta. Because, the majority of citizens who use the air conditioner is in the Jakarta area. Thus, we have to work around this smart, "

There are a number of strategies in terms of designing a house without air conditioning. The first starts from the top. Andry said the house should have adequate slope. The purpose other than to avoid leakage, also creates a larger volume of space to heat its transmission loss.

About the slope of the roof tends to vary, from a very gentle slope up to the most steep. All depends finishing material used to cover the roof.

For example, call Briyan, from the concrete you can design a roof that is flat. Flat in the sense Nyaru slope. The important thing is not stagnant water. As for the type of cover material made of asbestos and polycarbonate, the slope can be started from about 10 degrees. Examples of other cover material, metalroof, you can start on slopes of 15 degrees.

"We recommend that you select a roofing material that has the ability to reflect heat. For example, clay or concrete tiles are glazed, "

Design of aperture is the next strategy. You do this by considering temperature perceived by room occupants. Andrew said, according to physics, the buildings that are in a comfort zone usually has a temperature range between 22-30 degrees Celsius. In addition, by knowing the speed and volume of wind coming into the house. The calculation by analyzing the inlet, which is a lot of openings or air intake and outlet openings much air out.

Next is the location of the home and neighborhood. Both of these are key to locate the appropriate openings in a home. For example, Andrew said, your house is located in a residential area. So you should look is part of the left and right of the house, whether the building is higher or lower? When the building is higher, look for the wind direction position openings are not blocked by the building. So even with the wind speed. The wind speed here can determine the factors of vegetation or plants that will be used.

According Briyan, technical matter get around openings not be difficult. The problem lies precisely in the location of your building or residential design or occupy. For that, every open space should intersect directly with the open space. How, by designing the two openings on two opposite walls so that wind can have its flow.

Note also the high ceilings in the house. Briyan said, the higher the ceiling, of heat from the outside getting reduced down to the floor. However, do not forget the proportion of space within and the concept must be considered.

Problem models, usually home in the tropics is likely to be designed with multiple openings. While the models of traditional houses, almost the average occupant penghawaan design systems from the roof of the house.

"But in principle, all the houses that you can not use air conditioning design, except in the subtropical region, which has four seasons. If another snow season, they even need a heater, "
