Indieducky Home Improvement

Artist and film director Garin Nugroho has a studio-style house. Unique, quirky, nyeni, awesome. Like what form? The concept of home studios has long been recognized in mainland Europe. Home studio, usually in the form field with a sufficiently large size or medium, and only the box-shaped with no dividing wall but still can make the occupants feel comfortable. Not only in the apartments, now many people who chose the concept of home studios. Generally they are quite busy workers. The home owner wanted to utilize existing space to be used for various functions. Especially those who work as an art worker and do like the simplicity and flexibility in function space. Practicality is also thought to be Garin. “My wife and I are mengonsep this house, in 1996, when the building is minimalist yet a trend,” open Garin, about his living quarters located in Depok. Home studio that was a pretty complex with a workshop, cinema halls, and rest houses Garin. The house next door to the choreographer Boi G Sakti. As Garin’s house to be built, had the question from people around. Does film director Leaves on Top Pillows wants to build a mall? The reason, he uses a lot of solid material, such as iron aluminum and glass. “We know this area is susceptible to termites. So better use of aluminum metal. Not many houses are made of material that,” added the director of this Java Opera. Own form of residential architectural styles inspired by Europe and Asia. “There is still a rare idea, combined with the space between the German Marxist nature of Japan. Usually they use low furniture,” said Garin. This house has two floors. One form of the empty area with bamboo mats, red chairs, plus a display of ethnic so interesting. Then go up to the second floor, there is a bedroom and reading room plus a coffee table. Glass elements make this room feel more spacious, like not having privacy. If viewed from the “glass eye” Eastern culture, house studios actually still not quite fit when applied to house people of Indonesia and Asia in general. In this area still holds strong traditional oriental culture. Why? “Because at home studio, there is no bulkhead divider between one space to another space. So, when someone is visiting at the home studio, so he can see all parts of the house immediately,” said architect Aries Purwanto. However, Garin argued that the house was built for the process of social interaction. “What would the RT meetings, play ping pong, barbeque, plug installation, or a party gathering here,” called the man the birth of Yogyakarta, June 6, 1961 was, as he laughed. In order not to seem rigid, Garin uses a display of woven Papua and Nusa Tenggara. One of the strengths in the home studio is a color display and selection of interior design concepts, along with his belongings. Practicality also need stuff that tends to the practical. “The interior would be very play in it. Color and furniture elements need to be adjusted with a capacity of space,” added Ram. And for Garin, practical does not mean not having the taste of the arts. Look at the variety of his paintings so beautiful, expressive, and gives color to the harmony of white interior paint. Meanwhile, if we return to the homepage, “aluminum-iron house” is not visible “separation” with a shady garden. Move to another building, Garin has a workshop area with a more natural style. Gray brick combined with bamboo. “This area reminds me of the educational institution that was built by missionaries in the 1970s,” said Garin. Garin is also very fond of bamboo presence. For him, bamboo is always able to liquefy the atmosphere. Hardware can become more populist, something that looks a mess could be more neat and beautiful.

The summer has finally arrived for many of us and with the summer sun comes the risk of sunburn, heatstroke and skin cancer.

When summer comes, we all tend to spend much more time outdoors either in the garden, having friends and family over for a barbeque, hitting the beach or taking the kids to the park. Aside from the normal sun protection including sun cream, hats and sunglasses, you also have the choice of a sail shade.

Sail shades have been used for many years in Australia, New Zealand and in Spain where they are commonly known as velas de sombra. But in recent years they have become more popular in other countries.

Velas de sombra are made of high density polyethylene material which is resistant to rot, mildew and mould. It is also great for filtering out up to 98% of the suns harmful UV rays.

Ranging from 3 metres to 5 metres in size and also coming in around 20 different colours, outdoor sail shades are also attractive and trendy and will become a focal point for any garden or outdoor area. Sail shades are ideal for schools, gardens, terraces, patios, restaurants, bars and cafes.

So if you are heading out into the hot summer sun, firstly cover yourself and your children up. Secondly, consider purchasing a sail shade and keep yourself safe and well protected this summer.

ALTHOUGH area of land in Jakarta continues to decrease, it does not mean the construction of residential areas in Jakarta reduced. The proof is, in some corner of Jakarta there just a new residential development projects.

Future residential areas will be built with the township concept. Developers will also build malls, office buildings, apartments, schools, hospitals, and recreation. Development of these areas will be done gradually until a few years into the future. “The region occupancy is now being built. Estimated that in September 2009 has been completed,” he said.

Because of this, he ensures people that choose to buy a residence in JGC have nothing to lose. Moreover, located only about five kilometers from Kelapa Gading.

In West Jakarta, the developer PT Fajar Surya Perkasa (Fassa), also the middle and will build a new cluster in a residential area is being developed which New Daan.

CARS owned by residents of Jakarta more and more increasing. The problems that arise from increased car in the capital also began to appear. The problem that is directly seen and felt immediately that is, congestion and difficulty parking location.

Two problems are often encountered in various parts of Jakarta residents are scattered. Congestion is clearly felt by almost every second by the citizens of Jakarta. However, several solutions to the congestion had been offered. Solutions offered to solve traffic congestion, among others, the implementation of point 3 in 1, policing for two-wheel motorcycle riders, through the operation of mass transportation, the busway aliases are allowed to pass.

Now, another problem caused by the swelling number of vehicles in Jakarta is a parking lot. Increasing car usage was not accompanied with additional parking facilities. Parking for cars really need a very wide area. Unlike the motorcycle parking, more cars more space-consuming.

The solution to the limited parking areas is one of them by way of construction of parking lots at the storey building. Parking areas located in high-rises like a new trend in the buildings of Jakarta. Parking areas in high rise building is clearly visible in parts of office buildings to shopping centers.

Parking spaces in high rise building also felt still less to accommodate the number of cars in Jakarta. Moreover, during certain hours, the number of vehicles parked at office buildings and shopping centers began to appear oppressive. At peak hours of work, parking areas in the building must have jumped. If the shopping center, parking lots will be full when a holiday or weekend arrival.

However, parking in high-rises should get special attention. Facilities and airworthiness of structural and architectural styles of buildings, greatly affect the security and safety of the owner of the vehicle. Not to mention, the height of the parking area which was considered more risky. When security and safety factors are ignored, then the location of the parking area will be fruitful disastrous.

Users of vehicles parked on the rise buildings, should be more vigilant when compared to vehicle users who park at the bottom or ground. The accident at the location of parking buildings in Jakarta, carrying three times already occurred.

Indeed there are no casualties on the second similar incident in this same location. However, the ruins of the wall it hit a car park the other car was under. Nissan X-Trail bernopol B 263 KW suffered a dent into the windshield on the left side. The left side of the front bumper also looks damaged car. Not to mention, the remnants of debris and rubble still in dii roof of the car that Nissan X-Trail.

A Honda Accord 8722 FW bernopol B falling from 8th floor Menara Jamsostek, Jalan Gatot Subroto, South Jakarta, at approximately 10:30 pm. Heriawan, fateful car driver who also Citizens Pesanggrahan, South Jakarta died instantly at the scene.

South Jakarta police chief Pol Kombes Chairul Anwar expressly stated, the physical conditions in the Tower parking areah Jamsostek is not suitable for use. Jamsostek Tower parking in the building was not known to be walled. Limiting parking area off the air, only limited iron plate fence nearly 1 meter tall.

Apart from the human error factor, the strongest causes other than accident-storey building is a parking area which is less suitable facilities. This means, it is very difficult in this country, especially in Jakarta to make a parking area which makes the driver a comfortable and quiet. If so, then the system supporting parking facilities very good, efficient, and safe in the capital is very difficult to construct.

Now, people are just waiting for the Child Welfare steps to take firm and stern against the building management is stubborn and corrupt when establishing such facilities. When the provincial not also build proper parking areas, and not be firm to the managers of the building, then what happens is a matter of time occurrence of similar accidents. When the provincial unable to build a secure car park, is now living residents use the facilities “Car Parking Disaster”

As the passing years, also joined the trend of housing styles changed. Let’s say minimalist style house in 2008 experienced some variations, a fresh complexion changed. For developers, one of the reasons to change the design of the house is to follow market developments.

In 2008 then, minimalist design minimalist style shifted into a more varied in its architecture. But still with a closed cluster system. Actually, minimalist style in Indonesia, not correct to say pure minimalist style.

Original minimalist concept merely focuses on aspects of the space function and efficiency of space usage. While a lot happens in Indonesia, minimalist-style housing many ornamental forms and ornaments using natural. Director of PT Metropolitan Land Pandu Gunandito admit, the market is a bit saturated with minimalist design in 2008.

Therefore, the current minimalist design seems to be slightly shifted toward a modern and a bit of art deco. This had been reflected in the construction of houses with adequate number of modern and minimalist designs in a number of housing projects.

Because it is a trend, he mentioned, in 2009 the possibility of future PT Metropolitan Land will build a modern and minimalist house design. The aim is that people who buy in the area of housing is more proud of his design is very up date.

“In high society is still valid byword my house my house,” mention when contacted SINDO.

Although not a primary factor, usually the people who come from middle class to the above noted design house that was built the developer. However, under the public never noticed he had bought a house design. This is because society makes the house under the new limited in functionality.

He explained, green architect is a must for any developer, especially PT Metropolitan Land in building a residential area. Therefore, he considers green architectur not a trend. But a basic need which must continue to be noted and considered by all developers. Green architecture began touted as the current global trends are heading there.

Fears of worsening global warming one basis to increase awareness of environmentally conscious. One of them choose to buy a house with green nuances. While the Design Group Manager R Adhyaksa Ciputra General explained, for the first quarter, minimalist design seems to still be an option for the company he worked in building a new home.

Furthermore, we will shift to the design of classic Mediterranean and modern fusion. He confessed, and the combination of classic Mediterranean design was chosen because of public demand for both designs are still relatively high to accommodate the request.

“But that does not mean we’re not going to build a minimalist design,” he said. The rise of green architecture issues since the last few months would be a positive feedback for Ciputra Group.

Nevertheless, it does not mean disregarding the Ciputra group of green architecture. Because according to him, all the housing area has a green environment and design that allows sunlight and wind enter freely into the house.

He admitted, Ciputra Group is very concerned because it’s home design is one way to increase sales. Besides all this, the housing area Ciputra Group has been known to have a beautiful design, attractive and quality
