Elements are often presented to sweeten the water park, pool or just either water plant. The presence of the gurgling water, shadow ripples of fish ponds and agile movement can create the illusion of cool and calm when we relax in the garden.

Unfortunately, often the selection of design and type of water element is not quite right or harmonious with the park. As a result, the beauty of the park to be less than optimal, and then emerged feeling lazy to maintain it. Elements of water then becomes dormant, dry, dirty or mossy. Though it is little cost to manufacture. Therefore, need careful consideration before choosing and making the water element in the garden of the house. Here are some examples of the water element commonly used in home gardens.

Relief Swimming

Swimming is “stuck” in the similar wall of natural stone wall. Generally made from chicken wire, rocks, and cement. Pool Design emphasis on wall reliefs with stroke texture-strokes that give the appearance of natural stone. Manufacturing cost is relatively expensive because it requires workers with specialized skills, especially when equipped with a waterfall that requires a water pump.

Pool of this type is very suitable when the available land is relatively narrow but provides a fairly broad view of space, so that relief can be enjoyed from the wall a short distance. For example, the park is located at the rear of the narrow house, but can be enjoyed (viewed) from the family room / dining room.

Swimming reliefs can be made for indoor or outdoor gardens. For indoor gardens, air circulation should be noticed that the house does not become moist, especially when decorated with waterfalls. For ornamental plants should be selected small plants and hanging like a finely textured centipede fern (Nephrolepis biserata), philodendron (Philodendron sp.) And carriage. Not recommended to plant woody plants and high-trunked. When exposed to enough sunlight can also be used hanging flowering plants such as lantana (Lantana sellowiana) and orchids.

Lighting (lighting) that highlight the direction of plant or waterfalls on the walls can display a beautiful shadow effects. For simple lighting, put toro (Japanese style stone lantern) at specific points.

Pond maintenance relatively easy relief. Dark color and coarse texture makes it easy to look dirty. Nevertheless, the pool still needs to brushed and water is periodically replaced so as not to become mosquito breeding.

Natural Stone Pond

Overview of almost the same shape but minus the pool’s wall reliefs. Made of stone and cement slabs. Wild impression (not ordered) and a natural pond alloys arises because the rough times stone formations and lush plants dangle. Swimming natural stone can be easily found in Bali garden, tropical garden, and Japanese garden.

Variations can be added to fountains or waterfalls, and accents such as statues. In Balinese garden, a statue that is used is typically associated with mythology and folklore of Bali such as frogs, turtles, and monkeys. While the Japanese garden, accents and character of the toro tsukubai (fountain bamboo pipes) as well as bonsai pine and rhododendron family.

Maintenance for the pond is the simplest. Because the atmosphere is allowed to park a natural impression need not be too frequent cleaning. If there are ornamental fish must be observed with air and water circulation pumps. Swimming natural stone should be placed in areas exposed to sunlight.

If the land is relatively wide and contoured, this type of pool could be developed as a miniature river (creek). If created, such as rivers, should be considered a source of water and circulation. Since the flow far enough and water will quickly run out, so the natural water resources better. Swimming is usually invite people to play water, especially small children, so the safety factor must be considered. Pool base should be made not slippery. Therefore, its maintenance was a bit difficult because the need brushed regularly.

Square Pond

Its expression in the form of a rectangular swimming pool which lip decorated granite or marble tiles. Commonly used in Mediterranean gardens, Balinese gardens, parks and modern.

In Balinese gardens, water plants are commonly used Salvinia (Pistia stratiotes). For a large enough pool of water plants can be used like a lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), stock (Thypa angustifolia), and water helikonia (Thalia dealbata). While the garden plants that can add to the beauty of the pond, among others, cambodia japan (Adenium coetanum), ornamental bananas (Heliconia sp.), Croton (Codeaum variegatum), and bali pandanus (Pandanus Tectona).

In modern and mediterranean garden, pool square usually serves as a reflecting pool and the focal point. The bottom brush is often decorated with coral stone, ceramic mosaic motifs, and even coins. Because it serves as a focal point, lighting inside the pool. If the mirror coated the inside of the pond, the pond will be memorable shower of light. Plants that are widely used are nuance desert succulent plants such as cycads (Cycas revoluta), palm short, siklok (aloe agave), yucca (Yucca Gloriosa), and cactus.

Maintenance and construction of this pool is relatively expensive. Periodically, must always be drained and cleaned so as not mossy. Granite and marble materials are also quite expensive. As an alternative you can use ceramic, andesite, or stone temple.

Swimming Pancur

Shower is a swimming pool that holds water from the shower attached to the wall. The size is usually small and made of concrete. Swimming is usually adorn parks europe, where water memancur of gargoyles (guttering), lion-shaped head. Swimming is particularly suited for small land because the park can be paired with style. Can also be maintained as long as wudlu pool water cleanliness.

Making the pool shower is rather difficult because they have to create a new water network in tembok.Mahal least cost depends on the pump and the selection of materials (granite, marble, or concrete). For treatment, the pond needs regular brushing.

Pond Fountain

Swimming is a round with a fountain in the middle. Large size placed on the soil surface, and made of concrete. Small and “legs” are sold in the form of “so” of fiberglass or ceramic materials. Considered difficult because of its maintenance must be regularly cleaned and drained.

Large pool, harmonious complement europe garden, modern parks, and gardens of Islam. Third-style formal garden is symmetrical, ie the composition crops repeatedly on four corners. Swimming is usually decorated with detailed ornemental and placed in the middle of the park as a focal point.

Lighting focuses on a detailed fountain or pond in order to create interesting shadows. Do not place the lights high in the park near the pond in order not to fight for attention.

Plants that are used are usually a fine textured and trimmed. For tall plants, select plants that are not dominant forms and colors such as pandanus and Yuka, so there is a balance between the pond and tanaman.Tidak recommended use of water plants.

Water Plants in a Pot

Large pots containing a variety of aquatic plants or single plant can provide water in a garden accent. Lighting is focused on the flower or plant canopy may provide a different view.

The color of terra cotta pots large urn-shaped, fully compatible with the corner of an indoor garden of tropical or Balinese style. Crop water use varies from papyrus to the water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes). Can be combined with animal sculptures and potted plants usual. When using water plants like lotus flower, the sun should be enough available light to be flowering plants.

Pot color / white light and the legs can be used for formal composition, such as European-style gardens. Plants of the water used should be small as Salvinia. While for the Japanese garden, pots should be placed as a focal point. Pair with hardware elements such as bamboo and coral strewn with interesting composition.

Maintenance is easy because the potted plants do not need to be cleaned or drained. But it needs to be clean so as not to become mosquito breeding.

In design, some types can be combined so that the impressive swimming like swimming relief unique, natural and integrated mini-river on a large area of the garden, or pond fountain shaped natural stone. Complementary element-matching can also be combined at will and imagination. Good creative

In the arid Desert sometimes even still we find the plant there. The buildings are standing without any element of the park will look cold and stiff, barren, and not beautiful. Park elements that are clustered in softscape and hardscape can make buildings look more soft and comfortable to look at.

Softscape is part of the landscape that are horticultural. It functions to make life park atmosphere. Being softscape very diverse. Known is that plants, trees, grass, or shrubs. Element penyejukkan softscape very good for occupancy. Moreover, if balanced with natural lighting. Combination of both to produce fresh air, which flows into and toward the interior.

Hardscape elements also known as hard. He is part of the park is crowded. Floor paving, natural stone, or patio is a few of them. Hardscape materials are present, can give people in the park. In some sections, hardscape elements to be accent in the garden. For example a series of artificial rock by flowing water, the middle of the park. Of course not all softscape and hardscape can be placed side by side with a building. Both these elements must be coupled proportionally.

To park at home, make sure the first theme to be presented. The theme will influence the types of crops that will be used, as well hardscapenya element. Japanese Garden for example. Element often used are coral, sand, manifestation, and the plants of the earth. For European-style minimalist garden, water pond and the slide element mendominanasi. If you would like to present at the Mediterranean theme parks, elements softscape pine, citrus, or the palm could be a choice.

HARDSCAPE and SOFTSCAPE great influence on the overall look of the park. The selection or combination of inappropriate secured less nice garden view. So hardscape and softscape election must be in harmony. How to integrate hardscape and softscape?

Recognize characters

Each object has a character. So did the hardscape and softscape. Example, swimming (hardscape). The shape and texture varied pool. There is a square with a flat texture. There is also an irregular shape and tekturnya resemble the wild.

Although both shaped pool, they both have different characters. A flat square with a texture would be better suited minimalist style placed in the park. Irregular better suited to complement the tropical-style garden.

For plants (softscape), lush leafy kind more appropriate to complement the tropical garden planted. This is because the tropical style is synonymous with an atmosphere dense, shady, and cool. In contrast to the minimalist garden, straight-leaved species are more dense and does not apply. The characters must diperhatkan when building the park. It aims to avoid the impression of a jumble in the park.

Note the proportion of

There is no set proportion of dead matter and softscape hardscape. Comparisons can both taste and style who want to build. If you want to build a dry garden, we will be more use of hardscape (could be coral) than softscape (plants). Conversely when building a tropical garden. Softscape composition could be more.

Another thing about this proportion is a matter of size or softscape hardscape. The size of both must be adjusted with an area of the park as a whole. Do not get too big or too small even when compared with the size of the park.

Consider also the amount of hardscape or softscape. If you want the pond there is the statue of a frog, set the amount based on demand. If only as an accent, minimizing the amount.

Let us imagine, all the houses that surround the complex or the environment in which we live is not seen none of the park, only buildings of various shapes and colors. What an incredibly boring, and we can imagine what the residents of these homes. Park is one element in the house that made us feel comfortable house for occupancy. Park also makes a building or home becomes increasingly attractive. A garden will taste less complete if it is not supported by other supporting elements such as decorative lights, rocks, sculpture, pottery, swimming, and many more according to the tastes and desires of the owner and the architect.

Needs of the area for the park could also be a broad and narrow areas. Of course the design of the park will conform with the area of environment and space we will allocate land for the park. Contoured the land that is also very helpful in making the park will become more beautiful and attractive. This time we will review the one function that can be provided by the park, named as directors of the road.

Beautiful garden can be displayed optimally (even maximal) with the ability to be creative and imaginative well through the selection of plant species, or placement that make up the area of road directions. Garden area which is not very wide and taller than the street is not an obstacle for us to be creative to create a beautiful garden, comfortable and gives peace to the occupants. Especially with the contours and combined with an impressive level of natural plants on both sides of the road creating a park road directions. Arrangement of green plants with leaves hanging down (like a banana-Pisangan, heliconia, etc.) as welcome guests at the entrance stairs. In the meantime, we can use grass as a media element that makes the park road directions widespread impression.

If we have the position of park land that is higher than the road, it is a potential for this park. Eye toward the front garden from the terrace house would not be disturbed by the sight of public road circulation, so that the beauty of the park can be enjoyed optimally. These conditions are also very help us in structuring the drainage water park. On the edge of the park, we can combine them or use some themes and materials in accordance with our desires. We can use natural stone materials, to create a list on the edge of the park (with a variety of designs and forms of course), or we can also use the plant as a border for our garden (the Soka, lily, tea-tehan, etc.).

As a visual reference that maybe you could catch from what we present this, maybe you can see the results or the application of the theme park with road directions on a few star hotels that have a garden area, or in some houses in your neighborhood had probably already done the application for park as the road directions.

Ventilation air is the air movement inside the house and between rooms in the outer space. Control over the air vent on the house design is an important thing when making the design process of the home (interior design / interior design, exterior, etc.). How do I design the ventilation air for comfort, eliminating the heat and make the occupants feel at home.

Indeed there is an easy way to create a comfortable home in the tropics. Use of Air conditioning or fan in the ceiling. The fastest and easiest solution, but it is a way out which require electricity and maintenance costs monthly – not including environmental issues, global warming.
Using Natural

So how to design non-mechanical air flow, without using a fan. Actually, the wind can easily be adjusted via a pressure difference. Positive pressure negative pressure there is on the field where the wind leaving home, or in areas where the air out. Distinguish terms of wind and air exchange. The wind could be hurricanes, tornadoes, sea breeze – while the exchange of air at home is how the breeze throw hot air outside. exist in an area that receives the wind, or air which put pressure on the field.

There is a simple trick to control the flow of wind, with gradations of pressure. The trick is as follows:

1. Using the pressure difference on the outside of the house.
2. Using the pressure difference caused by variations of pressure inside the house.

For exterior & interior design home town may be difficult. Density of buildings leaving only the front side and back of the house. While the left and right side was blocked by a neighbor’s house. Alternative design (interior design / interior design / interior design, etc.), wind movement becomes limited. Therefore, release the front and back of the house to create open space. Jakarta house design difficulties or other big cities is to build a house (house interior design / interior design houses) in the entire area of the land, if necessary, without looking at the demarcation line of the building. So be thankful if living in a small town, the land is still widespread and affordable.
Home Design Tips

Solutions home town is as follows:

1. Home Design (interior design home & exterior) with openings.
2. Putting a wall of plants in the field of positive air pressure. Plant moisture carried by the wind so the air cools.
3. Natural air conditioner, direct the flow of wind to pass through the plant and ponds make the air colder.
4. Overstek wide roof, part of the roof on the outside of the building. Please tell this to the architects when they make a design.
5. Terrace houses that do not reflect the sun, preferably grassy yard.
6. Shade tree house wall.

Consideration interior design houses with air ventilation makes a difference when livable comfort. Remember to do the design activity only once, but occupying the building for good.

First of all we should make sure first what causes leaky roof. Many things that cause leaking roof, but we better classify them into two categories, namely due to errors in processing procedures and due to errors from things beyond expectations.

First, errors in processing procedures eg Facilities Development.
There are many types of roofs are used in homes. But, mostly, as we can observe, will use the tile roof. And the tile roof is the most likely to leak and leak prevention techniques hardest.
Areas most prone to leakage is the meeting place of the roof areas. Line of this meeting if the convex closed by the type of tile called nok or wuwungan (ridge) and is protected by the gutter if concave jurai (valley), which also functions as a channel for rain water.
In making the roof or the Development and Sports Facilities Sports Facilities Development in this area we should give more attention. Usually sellers of other types of roof tile or give instructions detail how the installation of rooftop or gutters jurat. Make sure these instructions are carried out exactly as recommended, or better.
However, before Make sure that the roof has been designed in the corner above the minimum. Each type of tile has a “spec” the slope itself. Generally, clay tile is designed for the angle between 27.5 to 40 degrees. Large or small the angle depends on the purpose of aesthetic design or the Sports Facilities Development Sports Facilities Development.
However, do not let the provisions of the minimum angle should not be violated since the fall of drops of rain does not always follow the gravitational upright, but more often askew because of the influence of wind.

If the angle is not quite as Development Facility, from the crevices between the tiles is going to rain. While the gaps are deliberately left there to accommodate the expansion needs of each tile pieces and sometimes also for ventilation. Conversely, if the roof angle must be greater than 40 degrees, each piece of tile should be nailed to battens which is right below it is not so easy to sag. Tile are designed and made with good there is always a nail hole for this. Second, an unexpected error is leakage that occurred long after the house was completed.
Of course we must first determine where the leak up there. The first allegation of course there is the rooftop area earlier. Later in other regions that most likely the tile are broken or dislocated from its place and leave a hole big enough, sure to cause leaks. What we must do is restore the tile are shifted to the starting position with a new one or replace if broken. However, at the rooftop will be more complicated. What to do here is temporary repairs and permanent repairs.
Repair / Maintenance Facilities as conducted upon completion of the rain and should be considered emergency repairs due to be followed by permanent repairs done on the next dry season. Temporary repairs can be a coating of the leak area with an elastic coating, either in the form of sheets or liquid that is applied with a brush.
Repair or maintenance of a permanent building is intended to eliminate the leakage problem forever. Conducted in the dry season because it requires the state really dry from the roof or rooftop, or the parts that other leaks. It is recommended that worked well with the overall maintenance activities of the roof for cost efficiency.
This maintenance position itself in the form of checks tiles. Cleaning of dirt or dead leaves caught in the gutter holes. Should be done thoroughly.
Construction of the roof should also be examined. Is it still strong and shaped like the original. If there are changes in the shape of certain parts such as roof melendutnya field, what may make, have made a total demolition and improvements in that section. Maintenance of Buildings and Maintenance of this facility should be performed regularly.
