The house with all glass walls, looking so grand and modern. No wonder many people want to have a glass-walled house. But is it hot, huh? no, had crossed in front of a house with all-glass wall? What had in mind when he saw it? “Cool, yes,” perhaps these words you are mumbling. Glass walls make the house a modern look. The transparent walls also has many uses for the house. First, the nature of transparency in making the boundary between outer space and in a bias. The result, the rooms look more spacious. The same properties also allow more sunlight into the house. The room is bright, without having to use the lights, in daylight. But there is one problem, relating to the nature of this one, which often became a question. With the number of incoming sunlight, not even a hot house? The answer could be yes, could not. Andra Matin, the architect of Andramatin Architects, explained that the glass is made of light, but on the other hand, also makes the room so hot. But this can be tricked, really. Andra said, we should make no frontal glass wall facing the sun. How to make it a little backwards. That is, give the space in front of the glass wall, so as there is a small terrace in front of him. Thus, one would automatically adjust the roof, forming teritis, which will keep not too much sun into the room. What if the land is no longer possible to make teritis, or have already made the glass wall without teritis? “If it had, or are already, we can outsmart to make shading. Way he could with a wooden lattice or add bamboo blinds,” says Andra. Fulfilled, so ga to worry about overheating. The glass wall can still be an option to make the home more spacious, bright, and definitely cool.
