The concept of minimalist home and garden dedicated to increasing the value of an entire room (exterior and interior) by reducing the excess of everything in the room. Minimalist philosophy represents a practical way of life, dynamic, concise, effective, and efficient, which is applied in all aspects of life including house building architecture, interior space and exterior gardens. Collaboration minimalist house and garden became the medium of communication between the architecture and landscaping in the form of contrast, hard-soft, stiff, soft, dead-alive, geometric, dynamic, and between man-made (cultural) and nature.

Minimalist eliminate saturation with the use of many decorative ornaments, knick-knacks accessories. Character and quality of spaces created by the existence of space defined itself, not by the furniture and accessory knick-knacks in it. Space becomes felt relieved (empty, immortality, meditative atmosphere) according to the primary needs of residents, to optimize the circulation of healthy fresh air, and lighting is abundant sunshine (rich colors).

Natural light from windows, doors, walls transparent (stained glass, glassblock), or skylights, shade trees, plants and paving composition, will present an appropriate image objects from sunlight reflected off the walls as a natural aesthetic separate elements. While the game system very artistic lights, spotlights good, light plant, to the chandelier with geometric shapes, can liven the evening.

It must be understood, the concept of Western and Eastern minimalism is somewhat different. Western minimalist concept of rational functional tends to a greater emphasis on the function of space and material honesty of expression. While the concept was strongly influenced East minimalist Zen-Buddhist philosophy that emphasizes simplicity, harmony, efficient, and effective, and symbolizes the emptiness and silence (spiritual values) for each space created a clear, plain, and clear, so the space can be lived greatness of the Creator. Being a natural minimalist.

Geometric patterns, proportionate, effective, efficient, neutral colors, and natural (the impression of relief and field), pure colors (primary), the representation of nature (plants, contour shape, the element of water), raw materials without excessive finishing (impression of quiet, gentle , pure, pure, innocent), texture, and contrast. Quality home and garden design, space, and the resolution of the structure must be getting better.

Form of straightforward design, plain, simple, uncomplicated, compact, and efficiency-effective space. Blocking mass, materials, lighting, repetition, circulation compact, multifunctional space optimization and sequential. The value and beauty of the house does not rely on a minimalist garden ornaments and artificial objects, but more meaningful to an honest form, function, and the inspiration that spaces are created.

Structuring minimalist home and garden requires a harmonious overall look, a combination of hard materials (concrete, stone, coral, gravel, sand), the physical structure of buildings and exotic plants, exotic colors, as well as supporting elements (lights, ponds, benches, statues , furniture). Harmony requires minimal materials, shape, color, and texture with the impression conveyed to the warm, intimate, romantic, natural, or futuristic. Games monochromatic colors with themes such as the gradation of one or two primary colors to create unity between the house and the garden.

Use of building materials (house and garden) minimalism is not necessarily expensive. Use of simple materials (a strong element of simplicity) is not a luxury with expensive materials, and natural materials (elements of harmony with nature). Exposure domination materials (soft and hard) will produce certain effects different. Design and calculations of detail structure can save the use of materials with the results of building materials and garden house optimum artistic appearance.

The arrangement of furniture requires order, where everything is orderly in their respective position. The room filled with furniture that is very efficient and functional course. Selected furniture only really needed, not a decorative element, if possible multifunctional. Room was clean and seemed relieved. Furniture interior and exterior with geometric forms aims to maximize the use of space, there is no gap or space left to die.

Parks play an important role include the beauty and harmony of nature into the building and together with the surrounding natural environment. Park as a dynamic live objects instead provides minimalist spirit of the house that often seemed cold and stiff.

Absorbent Pollutants

Not be denied, the more days the more air pollution occurs. Without realizing it at the house we were not free of toxic gases (pollutants). For example, formaldehyde is used in the cleaning fluid, benzene from cigarette smoke and plastic materials, or used trichloroethylene contained in the ink and paint.

Various pollutant gases can be neutralized by this plant. Not all plants can absorb pollutant gases. Spathyphyllum or Lily is one that can absorb the poisonous gas. Based on research, Lily effectively absorb and neutralize benzene. Ideally, a Lily plants can absorb pollutants in the room measured about 9meter square.

The presence of butterflies in the garden as if to add beauty and keasrian a garden full of flowers. Especially was the presence of the butterfly does not harm existing plants, and even assist in the process of pollination or intermarriage rates and produces fruit. So what needs to be known and carried out by the owner of the park in order to invite butterflies present in his home park? Basis of inviting butterflies to the garden is to know the main purposes of butterflies in the process of continuity of life processes. There are four basic things are important to know about the growth of a butterfly, which is looking for food, find shelter, and the availability of water and sunlight. Based on these four points, should a butterfly garden created by presenting the requirements to conditions above. As a source of food, a butterfly seeking two things from a plant, namely as the parent plant for a period of a worm / caterpilar and nectar / juice nectar in adulthood. fUntuk it requires some knowledge of plants which may be one or two functions at once. In the tropical plants, species that can be presented are as follows: * Lonicera nudiflorum (nectar) * Lagerstromia indica (nectar) * Mimosa / Princess Malu, Albizia julibrissin (nectar) * Flower impatiens, impatiens balsamina (nectar) * Sunflower, Helianthus angustifolius (nectar and plant stem) * Cleome, Cleome hasslerana (parent plant) * Lollipops Yellow, Echinacea purpurea (nectar) * Cosmos, Cosmos bipinnatus (nectar) * Flowers Four o’clock, Mirabillis Jalapa (nectar) * Flower Shoes, Hibuscus spp. (nectar and plant stem) * Flower Lantana, Lantana camara (nectar) * Tagetes / Marigold, Tagetes erecta and Tagetes patula (nectar) * Pentas, Pentas lanceolata (nectar) * And others. As a protector, which is very useful when facing the threat of predators, from bad weather, a place to rest, and a nest during the process of metamorphosis. Conifer plant types (needle-leafed trees) and plant species that live throughout the year is the best protector of plants to choose from. The availability of sunlight is very helpful for the life of a butterfly. The butterfly requires enough sunlight in the morning or afternoon to warm the body. In addition, adequate sunlight can also help in the process of flowering in a plant. Availability of water is the last condition that must exist. Water needs, especially in the dry season it can be done. The existence of the nature of some of the butterflies that can not be directly consuming water from the source, can be done the way the provision of a pool or a box containing sand and water or wet soil / mud rather shady places near the plant protector. The important thing to remember is not to place water into a nest of mosquitoes. A butterfly will actively search for food during the day and liked the structure of a daisy type flowers, such as Lantana flowers, Tagetes, Aster, and others. Existing flower petals can be ground will suck the nectar of flowers. Toward the end of the day, flowers are generally white or pale into choices. Besides color, the scent of flowers is also a guide to select the type of flowers required. The butterfly is not going over types of cut flowers often watered chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Besides killing caterpilar / time into a caterpillar, the chemical content can also be toxic to butterflies. Thus, the natural park there will be many more butterflies to come.
