If at this time we can have a house, it is the grace and elegance which we’re grateful for, especially if the house we live in is a healthy home. What elements should be considered in designing the lay out floor plans and spatial planning for a healthy home?

The first thing to note is that a healthy area of the house, should be able to meet basic human needs for at least a healthy activity, in this case means can make fairly activity in the room, not too small or too big (Architecture Room). Of course, we still often hear many of our brothers and sisters who are less able to live in unsuitable conditions in the houses is very narrow due to unfavorable economic factors.

According to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), the need for space to house an inmate is 9m2, with a threshold of 7.2 m2. So for example a house occupied by four people planned, spacious home then it should not be less than 36m2. Nevertheless, we know that the vast 36 square meter house is quite narrow for occupancy 4 people.

When houses are planned to be added to the level of spaces, do not forget to strengthen the foundation and column structure to support the construction of two levels. This is to avoid the additional cost of having to dismantle the existing construction.

Structuring the room can affect our impression of these spaces. Bedroom with bathroom adjacent to a different ‘feel’ when compared with the juxtaposed dining room. Clever arrangement of space in this regard, including how to keep such activities in the bathroom did not interfere with the dining room, at least with dissociated distance.

Structuring Architectural Space should also be noted that there are no spaces poor fresh air, dark, and so forth. Avoid corner spaces with a sharp angle because such space is not effective and not in accordance with the standards of furniture that is generally rectangular or round. Connect the ventilation and windows of each room with a garden front, side or garden in the house to the turn of the air. Spaces which can be attributed as the living room, family room and dining room walls need not be partitioned so that air can flow more freely.

To maximize natural lighting, we should provide adequate windows, at least 5% of the size of the room. In addition, the space can be given a wall paint or finishing material to the atmosphere light bright enough space when opening the window a bit limited.

Spaces that require water such as kitchens, bathrooms, washing facilities and so forth should be grouped in an area adjacent to sanitation is more efficient because the pipes can be unified. Similarly with bathroom above and below, should be in the same vertical area (located above the bathroom of the downstairs bathroom), so if there is any leakage, simply wet the affected area.
