Carport design should not block from the concept of home architecture. One option that can be done is to make the design as if a part of the surrounding park.

An example of this is the carport, which uses the framework of the roof of the white-painted iron. Designed without a lining, the roof was impressive natural; fit with the overall impression of the home country. Shade during the day, a little wet in the rain. Selected frame with curved design. Curve peaks reached 2.7 m from the floor. As the shade is a Passiflora vine red type.

Natural roof structure is supported by three pillars supporting the right side. Each pole was given additional iron rod as propagation toward the roof. On the left side, riding on the roof of the porch columns and a single pole. This pole was right behind the fence columns.

Carport side of the tub is surrounded by a planted sepatuphilum. Coated planter natural stone to blend with the floor looks carport.

Floor carport designed simple enough, a stone is not polished. The result is rough on the feet. The center of the carport, which is not a tire track, made deeper and filled with coral. Floors are made crooked about 5cm from the driveway in front of him.

Size limited disiasati carport with appropriate selection of the fence. White fence, minimal details of the selected iron boxes of dimension 1.5 cmx1, 5cm. Part of the gate only 100cm tall with each 140cm wide door. Ditumpu gate 115cm tall concrete columns on both sides.

If there is more room in the garage, then make use of to make the built-in cabinets . Separate with insulation, the result is a versatile save space. Concrete-floored garage looking at pictures on the right-sized 11.2 mx5m. It is widely, but the idea of built-in cabinets are actually can be applied also in the smaller garage. Divided into two types of cabinets, some form of open shelves, and closed. Open shelves used to store the toolkit and the completeness of car maintenance is often used, such as oil, vacuum cleaner, various additives, and so on. Bottles of mineral water refill and gas canisters can be placed on it. More closed shelves used to store goods that are rarely used. In the end, there is also a closet door that contains various house cleaning equipment, such as a broom fibers, broom stick, dust pan, duster, mop sticks and trains, and the stairs. Equipment in the form of a stick clamped or tied to not fall apart. At the end of the outside, there is a built-in again, but this is used to put the trash cans. If no correct notice, the trash will not be visible. The use of hollow metal doors helped disguise, and make the circulation of air in it to stay awake.

Located on the outer area of the building, the terrace can be used for various activities. These activities also apparently related to the concept of terrace arrangement.
To receive visitors. Privacy and security levels that are less, making this arrangement centered on the patio furniture and ornamental plants. Furniture in the form of one or two pairs of wooden chairs. Artistic touch can be done in the field wall with paintings, ornaments, or lights. More emphasis on outward expression. Lighting should be bright enough as collateral as well as to illuminate the surrounding garden.
To mingle. Setting notice the extension of the living room. At certain moments, the following family room interconnecting terrace can be used to maximum for a family gathering. The arrangement should reflect the ambience relaxed, casual, and comfortable. A set of comfortable sofa with a large enough size can be selected to fill the terrace. Lighting is required is not too light to form a cozy atmosphere. Private collections can be accessory space.
For dining. Terrace used for dining furniture requires a set of dining chairs with a table. On the terrace can also be placed a small cupboard for storing eating utensils within easy reach. Sufficient lighting can be assisted by the dim candle light.
For distribution hobby. This type of patio furniture requires special indulgence in accordance with the activities to be conducted. Usually an armed chair and ottoman with a small table filled terrace for reading or sewing hobby. Display attracts a lot of work you can fill the corner of the porch.

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!

If you imagine a wooden house, maybe that came to mind is the country houses typical American cowboy in the days before. It is not possible, you know, you also have a wooden house like that in Indonesia. No need to worry because the porous wood will gnawed by termites, mildew, or rotting rain and sun.

“Wood is very good iron to make an wood house. Wood of this type, more frequently exposed to water, it is getting stronger, but anti-termite and fungi. The wood used to make the dock as well as most metal timber,” said Rizky Masyani (50) , owner of House of Wood (RK).

Could Own Design
Rizky hard wooden houses known since 1995 through the television show. Since seeing the advantages of wood houses, which among other removable because making unloading system pairs (knock down), Rizky interested. In 2004, he asked to his friend to look directly into the wooden house construction in Tomohon, Sulawesi.

To fulfill his desire to do business wooden houses, Rizky cooperate with one manufacturer there. However, because Terhadang constraints, cooperation ended. In 2006, Rizky create their own business, until now.

With a direct jump to the field, he came to know the production process. Once felled, the wood beams made large, then swiped the desired size. For a board, to be processed again the floor, frame, walls, and so on. Some of this timber is made in Tomohon, some are made at the prospective location of a client’s home.

The size of the house can be made to order clients, although RK provides examples of their houses for the various types. Saturn models for example, type 80, while the Mercury type 36. Most, when the first came, the client does not carry the design. However, 12 children’s father said this, “No matter if the client already has his own design.”

As the name implies, all the houses made of wood RK. Except roof made of tiles. Again, the word Rizky, it was not a requirement. “There are clients who asked for the house of two levels, one concrete, one wood, yes, no problem for us.”

Similar Investment
Once the design is approved, then do the construction preparation. If the building is made full of wood, all wood made in Tomohon. “If mixed, made in the prospective location of the house. Making his own home takes 2 – 3 months,” explained Rizky who also received the work yard and garden as well.

On price, for the current USD 2.75 juta/m2 to full houses berpapan single timber and USD 3.5 juta/m2 to double board. Single board means the board walls using only one layer of wood, while the double uses two layers for the wall board for the whole house so that the house be more soundproof.

While for the house mix, the price can be more expensive, could also be vice versa. “Depending on the material used for concrete. The price will also be more expensive when the client asked for special designs.”
Most, said men who have these 50 employees, clients booked for the villa wooden house, the property company’s marketing offices, cafes, hotels (cottage type), shelter, gazebo, even a mosque that was built in separate from the house.

But sometimes, especially the waterfall cliff-shaped area that requires extensive enough. To you who have only a small area and small, do not be discouraged. There are ethnic style waterfall Bali, which is small, only about 2 m2.

Where is placed?

Bali waterfall can be placed in the front garden or in the house, or could also put “alone” without the company of ornamental plants. If you want to put it in park, put on the wall / side of the empty park to remove the impression quiet on that side.

This waterfall is usually equipped with a small pond in front of him. You can add ornamental fish or water plants to look more natural. Should be planted in water plants in pots and planted directly in the bottom of the pool. This is to keep the pool water does not become turbid. Sprinkle a small coral also on the pot, to prevent soil by water soluble. 

Water Circulation

Waterfalls are usually made to rotate by using electric-powered water pump. The pump can be placed in the pool or hidden under a waterfall construction. More looks beautiful of course, if a pump hidden in the construction. However, if hard to do, the pump can also be hidden among the water plants.

In order for the fall of the water appear to be more “beautiful”, some sellers find interesting ideas that could be imitated. One of them is by using the glass at the edge of each step or by making a few holes in the pipe paralon above.

Several types of natural stone used as a constituent element of Bali waterfalls include andesite, Palimanan, stone temples, and stone reliefs are carved shaman forming grooves. In order for these stones is not easy mossy, should be given coating (coating) special natural stone. This coating consists of 2 types, namely a natural coating (texturized) and the coating is shiny (polished).

In order Water No Need Often Replaced

There are 2 alternatives which can be done so that the water is always clear:

Using a filter made under the bottom of the pool until the pool became deeper. This filter is more suitable for a wide pond.

This second filter is more suitable for a waterfall with a small pond. Filters made of zeolite stone placed on the fibers or foam. This filter can be placed in the pool or on the steps. Before use, the stone should be washed first so dirt and dust on the stone missing.
