The composition of the expanded building leaving a wide open space and oriented to the rear garden designed together with the golf course located in North Jakarta area. 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.
Application design patterns begins with equating softscapenya character. If the area is used golf palm trees, then to use the area within the palm of palm (Elaeis guinensis) which leaves the branching character similar to a coconut tree. The house plot is at the higher position so that a wider catchment area and more dimension. Declining soil gradation designed contoured in such a way as to match the area under the grass covered with smooth texture. Thus, the surface contours of the land was more “subtle”. Creek as a boundary fence separated the house disguised with plants that are not visible from areas within, but firmly and functional existence when viewed from the outside.

Typical Design Oriental Style
Home Improvement September 7th, 2009
CULTURE China inherited wealth in abundance until the whole world. Architecture and interior design also participated worldwide. This design style can be adopted into homes in Indonesia. Culture of China plains leaving a trail which still can be found in any parts of the world. The tradition held strong by the Tionghoa show something special and unique.
Ancestral culture that is always awake to see the still many distinctive buildings in China Oriental, not least in Indonesia. “Oriental characteristic architecture, that in fact is derived from the plains of China, is basically the traditional ornate architectural or ornamental,” explained architect Probo Hindarto.
Examples such as the decoration on the walls, doors, and windows that are based on myths and beliefs Tionghoa nation. Ornament that is diverse, from the geometric ornamentation, motifs of plants, to animals. “If the terms of interior design, Oriental style characterized by the use of wood materials, wallpaper, and red dominant colors, dark brown or gold,” the light interior designer Timothy Iddo Malachi who familiarly called Timmy.
Style carvings in the interior of a typical Oriental carvings are usually shaped like a dragon and lion. Lotus flower is often used as a motif carvings or paintings. Then, considering the nation of China is a strong cultural preservation wherever they are, Oriental characteristic architecture also appeared in Indonesia of certain elements. For example, a typical roof China, striking colors like red, blue, and yellow, or use the dragon statue as a form of trust is still up in the house of Indonesian society descent.
“Although the merger of these two different architectures (mix of Indonesia and China), usually character Sino management architecture and decoration color is reduced, even most or all lost,” added Probo from Astudio. Similar opinion came from Timmy.
“Processing in interior design, such as only the application of the use of color, interior accessories, furniture, and divider panels.” For example, neutral colors mixed with the colors red kuat.Warna on just one area as an accent wall. Or red color on the pillowcases, carpets, curtains or fabric sofa.
“Gawangan or kongliong also often used as a connective antarruang without using a round door like a full moon,” said Timmy. According to the Probo based in Malang, natural materials such as rocks, wood, soil, widely used. Material is usually presented? ‘Honest”with unpainted. For example, the color of clay for the tiles, the color of wood to wood columns.
“Combining Oriental style with modern design elements will actually fun,” he advised. “No need to process the entire room. Focus on a few things, others left much to be simpler and more modern features Oriental elements for contrast,” added Timmy from Igloo design decor.
You can include elements such as light interior with a modern design or a set of dining chairs and table-style Sun Of course, red candles, a kind of wall decoration cheongsam dress hanging on the walls, ceramic China, wind chimes, or lanterns. ”But it just displayed some remarkable that we will feel the impression, “added Timmy.
Added Probo who also manages the site architecture and interior design, “you are also able to provide accessory paraphernalia Oriental with Java ethnic style accessories for decoration rather similar character.”
In designing the room nuanced China, what immediately flashed to use the calculation fengsui? “Everything is returned to the owner of the house if necessary to use fengsui or not,” said Timmy.
However, it is better if you use fengsui calculation. This will cause not only of Oriental appearance, but also in spatial arrangement. However, as the modernization of the public mindset, many of which are no longer using fengsui, in some even the entire design office.
“But not often, indigenous uses feng shui to organize the calculation of the house. This shows the influence of Oriental architecture for indigenous communities in Indonesia,” said the Probo steadily. According to Timmy, who never finished the project of Oriental style interior design, this Oriental style is more eternal and easily adapted without having to impress the old.
In addition, this time a lot of cloth or bamboo-patterned wallpaper or a kind of lily flower, peony, lotus and strengthen oriental nuances. “Everything should look proportional not to impress too much.” Given the modern lifestyle in terms of practical importance, adaptation and modification of a typical Oriental style is much better so everything is more simple and hassle of maintenance
Beautiful and Comfortable terrace
Exterior September 5th, 2009
Relax 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!
Decorate the house No Need to pile up furniture in the House
Decoration September 5th, 2009
Basic materials will reinforce the identity of a traditional house. So those who are interested in establishing a traditional house, must cermatdalam choose materials. Do not use materials that actually obscures the concept of home.
The most important material is wood. Typically, traditional house type of hard wood with high quality. “As wood borneo, camphor samarinda and also teak,” said Nicko Renaldi, arsitekVolume Arch Studio Bandung.
You need to look, wood is the main material in a traditional house. Therefore if you want to build a traditional house, it is better to order directly from the timber home. Take, for example, if you want to build a typical house of Java, there is good use of teak Wonosari.
Sure would be futile if the quality of material was not worked by skilled hands. Those who want to create a Balinese house, should consider the use of architects and building the original stylist Bali. “So, the concept Balinya sharper and life.” Probo said Hindarto, Architect Astudio Malang.
The design of the room also should receive special attention. It would be better if the wall, for example, remains a plain red brick and features to emphasize ethnic impression. Use hardwood furniture that looks beautiful and durable. Moreover, the addition of ornaments such as traditional carpets and carved wooden statues and classical vases can be an option. “No need to use the original ornamentation, provided that fit with the theme of the room,” said Nicko.
There is nothing wrong also to experiment around windows and doors. Custom ornaments, such as cloth or painting the doors and windows will be featured on the natural impression of the room. But note also space in the room. The house should be impressed nuances broad areas. Decoration is stored in a corner. Let your decorator furnishings are in the middle of the house.
While the home garden may contain stone ornaments such as statues, stone statues or familiar with an interesting arrangement. Elephant grass is very suitable as a rug in a traditional garden.

Simple style furniture is easily treated. However, the nature simpelnya often traps us in dull impression. How to outsmart?Outsmart simple furniture, that’s the problem faced by couples when Teddy and Agustini to clothe their homes. Previously, Teddy had been ‘saving’ furniture. “I like the simple style furniture. But I also do not want the house so impressed with the simplicity of the furniture boring because it was.” For this reason, Nurul Syahri, the architect of the house, dressing the house with a modern minimalist concept. “Because the furniture is fitted with a taste of home owners, I try to play with the walls and floor of the room,” explained the architect of this ITB graduates.
For example, adjacent family room with no insulation in the dining room. Light green color at the center of view of the family room into a nice accentuation. “The color of the room walls deliberately contrasted with the walls of cream-colored house. I give as a cool contrast, adapted to the character of the house.” Nurul also turn on a wall in the living room with brick materials. “With a niche as a wall decoration, brick could be something artistic.”
Floor intentionally tiered terrace to remove the impression from the monotony of the flat land.
Decor simple living room look for a perfect blend of sweet wood furniture and parquet floors. Brick walls add warmth and artistic impression.
Although not separated from the dining room, dry kitchen but it appears different from the roof of parquet and marble floors, dark.
The glass doors were installed in the living room and dining room. “This glass door can be opened wide, so make room in the garden as one with,” Nurul beber. Made high roof also support the incoming air flow from the glass door, so the dining room and living room into a cool gathering place. “Those who sit under can still monitor the activities on the upper floor because the room mezzanine concept, not separated by floors above.”
Problem floor, Nurul creative with levels present. “We made berlevel floor or tiered. Aim merely to eliminate the impression of monotonous course. Soil house, hell, really flat.” In addition to level, one floor material varied with the use of marble and parquet material (read: par’kei). Parquet, floor made of plywood boards, can bring cool and clean impression. “Both the marble and parquet, have a natural impression, which is a harmonious blend.”
So, with a little creativity, you can also kok ‘turn’ your house!
