gloss silver color (silver) may be characteristic of a modern kitchen. Futuristic impression also appear that.

Silver color found in many kitchens modern style. So unusual color was applied to some or all of the kitchen set. These shades can be raised from the use of stainless steel. In the photo, in shades of silver are presented in the kitchenette. Starting from the fridge, oven, microwave, cooker hood up.

Kitchen-shaped “U” is, occupying approximately 2 mx 3 m. Kitchenette with refrigerator, oven, and microwave made “embedded” in the kitchen set. Its existence is placed parallel to the bar that was in front of him.

This kitchen concept is often associated with modern lifestyles. Not only because the device used in it, but also because of its function. The existence of the bar, is useful as a food processing area as well as eating food. This concept is in accordance with the modern life of the very practical and concise.

Paired Silver and Brown Wood

Futuristic view of the all-silver color, giving the effect of stiff and cold. To compensate, can be applied warm colors as a companion. The kitchen in this photograph combines silver with a brown wood. You can see from the use of parquet and wood pattern HPL layer for cabinets and drawers kitchen set.

Brown color which tends to warm the wood is expected to soften the impression of cool silver color. On the other hand, warm colors can “invite” people to berkegiatan in it. Instead, the impression was too cold usually makes people reluctant to close let alone inside

For reasons of practicality, I put a bathroom in the front of the house, adjacent to the living room. But the thing is, the bathroom door was facing the living room. How, do you? Should I change the position of the door?

WHEN visiting a colleague’s house and into the living room, Alan felt there was something that made him uncomfortable. At first he did not realize what was making her uncomfortable.

Investigate a investigate, it was felt that arise because of the door of the bathroom / toilet in the guest room. Position right door leads to where he sat. This condition becomes less fun, because every time the bathroom door opened, either by people who want to enter into or by the person who wants to get out of the bathroom – she was like a scene presented in the shower room and toilet in it. Discomfort becomes more severe when the bathroom door open when is seoang get a drink or tasting snacks that are served by the host.

Discard place Stools
Alan’s situation can be experienced by anyone. Although the condition bathroom with toilet is very manicured, clean, and smell nice, we might still not be rid of thoughts of dirty toilets and smelly. This is understandable, because the function is to remove the toilet, smelly droppings and dirty.

When viewed from the ethics of the East, this situation will certainly not give the impression that friendly and less well than the owner of the house to guests. Similarly, if such a design is implemented in an office, would give the impression less well than those who worked in the office of the guest. Not that this is not possible cause is often a good opportunity terlewatkannya. By the Javanese, the composition is said to be a step “refusing sustenance”.

As a result of Sha Qi
Why the bathroom door in the living room can give such a bad influence? In Feng Shui, this can be explained as follows. Bathroom / WC Sha Qi energy / air killer.

This energy will diffuse Sheng Qi / air provision into the house. The guests who originally came up with a good cause, rather than his mind could not be easily influenced by bad energy coming from the toilet so the lack of intention arise balk or less true to the occupants.

For example, a guest wanted to borrow money and goods but have no intention to return or spread other bad influences. So here is disadvantaged residents. Sha Qi energy damage clear mind so easily influenced by things that are bad.

To prevent the bad influences, while still possible to try to not make the toilet door that opens right into the living room. Because, besides it will make guests uncomfortable, you may also be felt not

This He solution!
You want to design a house with a bathroom / toilet in the living room or designing an office with a bathroom near the waiting room? There are several ways in accordance with the rules of Feng Shui that you can take.

• You can move the door to other areas of the wall, so that the location of the bathroom door / WC leading to the house or the other side. This will make the bathroom door hidden from view of guests who sat in the guest chair.

• IF the above is not possible because of limited space, should provide a kind of insulation or partition at the front door of the bathroom / WC leading to the living room.
With this partition, when the bathroom door opened, people who are sitting in the living room really was not treated to the view of the toilet. But this method requires extra space, except tumua room or waiting room size is large enough

• IF the position of the bathroom door was not able to manipulate diutak again, it should move the location of the bathroom / WC to a more appropriate position. Then, make a bathroom / WC as a warehouse. Barn door that leads into the tainu still acceptable in Fengsui rules.

- The bamboo could be used to empower the affected communities, especially those who lost their homes and their furnishings. With scalable technology, plant clumps of it can be developed to make emergency house and the furniture strong, flexible, lightweight, and practical.

Morale was carried exhibition “Bamboo and Sustainable Life: Tsunami and Post-Disaster Reconstruction” in the Campus Center Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB), Bandung, 2-8 March. Performances are accompanied by workshops and seminars that show 26 products from bamboo material. This results in the second cooperation between the Musashino Art University, Japan, and Product Design Faculty of Art and Design (FSRD) ITB.

One of the notable works is a dome diameter of about 3 meters draft Takaaki Bando, a professor of science of design from Musashino Art University. Dome structure composed of bamboo planks, assembled with bolts to form a triangle pattern and the hexagon. Although quite thin, the blades form a solid dome, flexible, and lightweight.

This dome is made based on the concept of synergetics. That is, the power structure built from the bond, not pressure. “The design was developed based on the dome of natural law, not just tweaking the brain-the human mind,” said Takaaki Bando in the seminar is limited in the ITB, Monday (8 / 3).

Furthermore, this bamboo dome structure can be applied to create a frame tent, home emergency, or temporary housing. Participants students from ITB and Japan tried to work on it. They make bamboo blades triangular pattern into the roof frame, wall and floor of the tent.

Geometric-shaped framework is then wrapped in cloth to the roof and walls. To be more powerful, the ends of the fabric drawn and attached to the ground. One side of the wall as the doors were opening. At first glance, this design similar to a traditional mountain house in Mongolia.

Home emergency system can be designed with a knock-down-tide aka unloading. That is, the entire structure of bamboo that can be stripped, packed, taken to another place, and then successively connected again when needed. Thus, emergency tents that will easily removable anywhere.

“This donation designers to help people who want to build a post-disaster houses quickly and cheaply. The final form can customize the design of local needs, “said Chairman of Industrial Product Design Division, Faculty of Art and Design ITB Dudy Wiyancoko.

Bamboo structure that is lightweight and flexible, is considered safe for the people in the area of earthquake or tsunami disaster. Communities can also be easily made because the design is scalable and can be studied. Bamboo plants grow too much everywhere.

Furniture
This exhibition also displays a variety of furniture products everyday from bamboo material. Most of the products incorporate a variety of good character design: functional, comfortable to wear, easy to set, as well as beautiful.

Just look at the rectangular seat “PLY” by Ryuta Sakaki from Musashino Art University. Four legs of the chair using a bamboo stick together and bent. Similarly, the seat back and seat. Although seemingly simple, this work is quite practical and good views.

A similar character was on the glass table “Trio KD Table” Yusuke Aunoma claim. He made the skeleton table from bamboo planks rather long. Edge blades were connected with a solid triangle pattern that is strong enough to hold a round glass board on top.

Some designers work from ITB also impressive. One of them “Pincuk Set” by Muhammad Ihsan. She glue some bamboo Sort pincukan wide a kind, like an open boat. This work was completed a few spoonfuls.

Arianti Ayu Puspita tried to use bamboo material to make a push scooter otoped alias. Rely on modular systems, a bike with two wheels that can be used wooden children to play. The work is named “Bamboped”.

Overall, this exhibition illustrates Japan’s highly developed in the processing of bamboo. The works made from raw bamboo from the country not only beautiful and functional, but also processed with high technology.

Japanese designers introduce EDS technology (Ecology-Diversity-Synergy) aka ecological-diversity-synergy. They have a bamboo-processing standards for durable, weather resistant changes, and still have the character of bamboo. This technique derives from the ancient traditions and test results with modern equipment.

Actually, traditional society in the archipelago also has a bamboo-processing techniques. Java community, for example, have long recognized the bamboo preservation by soaking in a certain period. Only, the processing is not standardized in modern standards and measurable.

Not all suitable materials or elements in the room / building. Use of the wrong materials can result in waste of renovation costs, even disastrous.

Proper application is using the material in accordance with the needs of residents, designated a suitable, and how to correct workmanship.
Also, noteworthy is also a matter of aesthetics. Materials used must be able to add value to the beauty of space. Here we list some tips that might be useful:

1. Use the tiles to the kitchen floor. Ceramic oil and water resistant, and easier to clean than other materials. In addition, ceramics are also easy to maintain. Granite porous, so it can save oil and liquids. For a long time, so the granite floor is less hygienic because of oil sludge and the liquid. So, ceramic remains the primary choice for the kitchen.
2. Do not apply ceramic glossy (shiny surface) for coating the bathroom floor. For wet areas use a textured floor coating or Antislip to prevent you from slipping.
3. Thorough parquet HDF (High Density Fiber). Look closely the edge of the parquet pieces. Quality parquet look more solid and smooth surface. Parquet with such features harder and stronger. Conversely, the quality parquet poorly visible part of the cut is less dense and coarse.
4. Use a vinyl floor. Especially if your funds are not appropriate when using the parquet. Wood-style vinyl, parquet-like, worth more “crooked” than ordinary HDF parquet. But, remember, the weakness lies in the resilience of vinyl surface. Over time, vinyl shades tend to fade when compared parquet. Age shorter useful life.
5. Apply wood for the bathroom floor. Applications should be limited to wet areas, such as floor shower area. Type the wood: ulin, bangkirai, resin sea, or teak. Leave a gap of about 5cm between the wood floor and ground floor bathroom as the water flow. Consider drainage, give the slope of 2% on the floor so that the flow is smooth.
6. Use a lightweight structure or framework of hollow steel rafters to make a split-level. The cover sheet of plywood with 9mm-12mm thick. Ceramic or granite floors can be installed directly over the plywood with instant glue. Next live filled with a special adhesive grout.
7. Choose wallpaper for percantikan a more optimal space. Wallpaper can provide an instant makeover in the space. Better than paints and other wallcoverings. Wallcover than others, such as vinyl or textiles, wallpaper has more style and color. To note about the installation techniques and the proper adhesive. If you want to use wallcover, should not the entire wall. Use wallcover border to accent, or wallcover pairs at the top of the wall, at a distance of 1m-1, 5m from the surface of the floor. This is to prevent the child’s wallcover damage. Bottom wall is painted.
8. Apply wallcover as an accent to one area of the wall. Fields other walls painted enough. Choose wallcover with colors or patterns that catchy. Alternatively, give accent to the room by painting one wall with a strong color. Use neutral colors for the other wall.
9. Use low-toxic paints. The point is to paint the levels of toxic (poison) low. This type of paint does not smell and easy to clean.
10. Use the panel to the wall imperfect. You can use a panel of multiplex board HPL-coated sheets. The panel also serves as a decorative element. Alternatively, use a foam-coated panels and fabric. With the panel, the fabric is more easily removable according to taste.
11. Select the cement board to the wall. Cement board is stronger than gypsum, which are vulnerable to impact. With the way the same application with gypsum, you will get a stronger wall. You only need to set up the framework of the 1.2 mm hollow steel, then cement board screws into the framework. Cement board can also be a selection of dry bathroom partitions and ceiling of the room.
12. Allocate 10% of material reserves. This is to anticipate shortages in the process of reset. Usually the material you purchased today are not necessarily the same color and coraknya exactly when you bought back in different time intervals.

The fact of global warming affecting climate change and degradation of environmental quality of human life have been aware of the importance of saving human life on Earth. Various parties continue to work together to build a new world that is more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Property developers to share information to build green properties to the town green. Listing products introduced to green consumers who increasingly critical of developers who are not environmentally friendly. There are many properties of the concept of green garden city, green city, the city of trees, home gardens, botanical gardens, green parks, to the green valley that floods the market has been dazzling the public.

Architecture trends that had a popular, ranging from tropical-style house, country, Mediterranean, to minimalist, from left consumers. The architects and home owners began to work together to develop the concept of a residential house and more environmentally friendly inhabitants sought.

Eco-friendly house (green house) requires several things to consider. Houses must be built on land that was earmarked for residential area, not a green area (watershed). The composition of the wake and the wake is not adjusted to the rules applicable in each region. For residential areas, the basic building coefficient (KDB) ideally the maximum 70 percent, so providing the basis coefficient green (KDH) up to 30 percent.

Since the planning and construction of houses, building materials used should use local materials or easily obtained from nearby regions. Ease bring local materials will save transportation costs and helped to reduce vehicle emissions of carbon gases.

Local materials will be more aligned with the character of the building environment, such as exposure to building stone, brick, and wood to blend the natural impression; or cement, steel, and glass featuring a modern face. Interior and furniture in the house can use the materials easily recyclable or recycled products result.

Building sketch quite easy to follow, flowing air circulation and natural light with privacy. The placement of doors, windows, voids, and the right vent. Spaces in the house (living room, family room, bedroom, dining room, kitchen) was quite light, but not too hot or humid. The fresh air blew all around the room, enough with the fan, air conditioner use only at a certain time.

Low power

Electricity crisis and the more expensive byarpet encourage all parties to begin to get used to use alternative energy environmentally friendly. Though not much developed, residents continue to seek that power (if possible) easy and cheap. Choice fell on the installation panels of solar cells on the roof of the building to heat water and a few point lights.

In coastal areas, is the development of windmills to supply electricity. Biogas also been ogled to illuminate a light or cooking. Alternative electrical energy development environmentally friendly homes should be done so that the house does not depend much on the PLN electricity supply in the future.

Availability KDH 30 percent more to provide an opportunity for the home and residents can breathe freely. Green space is developed into a park with the concept of park residents as needed, such as parks therapies / reflection / relaxation, water garden, flower garden, or according to the architecture of tropical gardens, minimalist garden, Japanese garden and Mediterranean garden.

This beautiful park is an ecological contribution to the city as a private green open space part of the green open spaces of the city. Residents are entitled to incentives such as tax reductions, cutting the cost of electricity, telephone, and other facilities, from the government as the government’s appreciation for the participation of citizens in the city green adds.

The architects began diligently to build a green roof (green roof, roof garden) as an effort to replace the land (green) that is built up. In the big cities are crowded and cramped, the presence of green roofs cool like an oasis in the middle of concrete jungle city. Not enough, the walls of the house covered in vines also be a wall of green (green wall).

The building is covered with plants proved to affect the micro climate surrounding environment. The heat down. Park a natural roof insulation. Solar radiation absorbed by plants. Gas processing plant pollutants into oxygen. Precipitation can be accommodated, absorbed, and drawn into the pipe and into the well diresapkan water absorption.

Waste

Room in the house becomes more cool and comfortable (AC usage can be reduced). Residents can relax, see the blue sky at noon, at the stars shining in the night, or a garden party on the landscape while enjoying the view from the roof of the house. A very rare experience for the citizens of the city.

Menyerapkan environmentally friendly home water falling as much as possible into the ground (zero run off). Houses built drainage system clean, dirty water, and waste water is made separately. Clean water from the pump or piped directly channeled into the tub basin. Bath had been taking a shower. Water troughs began much eliminated because bathing with a bucket considered more wasteful of water.

The water used to bathe or wash vegetables be recycled into the water to flush the toilet, watering plants or washing cars. Water former washing clothes and utensils collected, filtered (neutralized), and naturally diresapkan into a well-equipped water catchment natural filter (sand, gravel, fibers, pieces of brick / tile). Dirty water is channeled into the septic tank are processed separately.

Waste is also done by separating the organic and inorganic waste from the source (zero waste). Time vegetables, fruits, and processed foods to be organic waste to the plant in the garden memupuki home. Second-hand goods selected and divided into goods ready for another new function or set aside to be given to scavengers. All residents invited to get involved in waste management.

Do not forget, if a house near the location of public transportation (bus or train), inhabitants invited to familiarize themselves and walk or bike to go to a place of daily activities, particularly those within easy walking distance. Healthier, more environmentally friendly. Pedestrian lane wide, comfortable, and quiet in neighborhoods and cities are also increasingly encouraging people to walk. Provision of bike paths is also one form of a green city.
