Building materials from bamboo and wood is not new. But, if the shape of the whole house can be dismantled and install, attractive, right? In addition to durable, earthquake-resistant as well.

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.

Gurgling sound and the sound generated by the flow of a waterfall or fountain never fails to entertain audience. Therefore, many people want the fountain there in the yard.

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.
