Fiify Eluza and design team from Bougainvillea Garden has completed the design concept softscape on this residential project. The approach is more aimed to visualize the hardscape concept has been formed, with little development due to the addition of new areas to improve existing concepts.

Formation landscape designed golf course open, with contours of land covered with grass golf and palm trees that shade the leaf canopy area where golfers activity associated with the pathway that connects lines to every point of access holes. Applied similar concepts in the back garden overlooking the golf course so that the park can be integrated in a mutually landscape sustainable. These conditions are rarely found in other locations when this condition can be used to refine the arrangement of space and outer space occupancy.

teras_mediumRelax on the terrace was very nice house. To have an atmosphere more comfortable, overcome the disturbing scene with a choice of green plants!

When entering a house, the first place you see certainly the porch. Nevertheless, although the terrace is a link between outer space and space in, homeowners often make in various situations. Starting from serious nuanced terrace, equipped with a fish pond, garden, or simply has two chairs and a table alone.

However, according to Antoro Sigit, architect of the PT Orange Saffron Artistika, actual position of the terrace should not only be in front of the house alone. Terraces can be made in other parts of the house, like the side or back of the house. Then, How important is it’s existence in a terrace house?

“Patio serves as a means of sanitation, air circulation, and the giver of light into the house,” said Sigit. In addition, when the activity outside the home, the owner takes such a relaxed atmosphere to sit and drink coffee with your partner and friends, in an informal setting a warm and intimate.

However, although the patio can be anywhere in a house, according to Sigit, should be a connector

between the “outside world” or other space in the main house. In fact, he added, made a kind patio oasis ideally or conditioning of a home.

“Imagine, if there is a house with no porch. It would seem more stale. With the terrace, psychologically home will impress roomy, comfortable, and cool,” said Sigit again.

One example, the terrace house located in this Ciledug area (see picture). Although only has two chairs and a table alone, can be quite comfortable terrace. This means that, before entering the main room, guests can sit on the porch to relax before this tiny.

Of course, the guest will have a different impression if the patio is made more serious, such as fish ponds has a small or a beautiful park, with a variety of beautiful ornamental plants. Every guest who came would have enjoyed the rest of the porch like this.

Managing Landscape
However, Sigit added, “To get a comfortable atmosphere, not just a simple porch has two chairs and one table only. If you like hanging out with neighbors, friends, or neighbors, the number of seats could be added. Select the material occupied a comfortable chair,” suggested Sigit.

Actually, he said again, no special requirements to make the patio more comfortable and beautiful to look at. “Terrace with or without a roof, it’s okay. What is important, not the occupant in the afternoon heat. So, first orient the position of the sun. And when it rains, water does not directly enter into the house,” said Sigit.

In addition, the view on the surrounding terrace have to be treated so much better views. Terrace will be deformed if used as a storage of used goods the owner of the house. There are bicycles, buckets, basins, and various household items other marks. Finally, no one wants to sit relaxed on the terrace is more like a warehouse.

One thing that also needs to remember, if the terrace in front of the house, never put the trash can right in front of the porch! And, to get around to all members of the family or the guests who come to linger comfortable on the porch, create a pleasant atmosphere.

Do not make the transition terrace just before stepping into the room. “To be beautiful again, place a few potted plants. Whether on the table, next to chair, or in one corner of the porch. Remember, keep the objects are not important, who should not have on the porch.”

And last but not least, consider also about the owner privacy. Terrace overlooking the main street, not to be a spectacle of people passing by. Anticipation, done in a way that is easy, simple, and inexpensive, Sigit suggested, make the fence of the plant.

The ideal position of course the terrace behind the house. Surely privacy homeowners will be more secure. “But the shortcomings, the landscape will be limited. Moreover, if the patio directly adjacent to the kitchen or a place to hang dirty clothes.”

Another case when the back porch has another vision of objects. For example, a direct border with beautifully decorated rooms. For example, bedrooms, clean kitchen, or dining room. “The presence of the terrace will be a point of interest separate from the spaces surrounding it.”

While the terrace made in the middle or side of the house, more functional as a “tool” of sanitation, light source, or sources of air flow. Uniquely again, Sigit give an example, in a house, the owner is making the porch in the bathroom, you know!
