Design a window that fits your needs.

The window for a house is one of the determinants of comfort for its residents. A house without windows will make the house feel stuffy, dark and dead in terms of architectural aesthetics.

Some tips for designing the location of the window and its shape.

Based on the location, determining the location of the window is highly recommended to consider the direction of the house facing the sun. For houses facing west, the windows are tilted to reduce the amount of light hitting the glass surface area. The size of the window should not be too wide and many in number. So that the sun does not enter much into the room.

Based on the shape of the window, for a house whose surface receives a lot of sunlight during the day, it is better to make the shape not wide, it can be high. Using glass made of ribbon to dampen or reduce ultraviolet rays which can cause the interior to become hot and stifling at night.

Can be added to the use of tools to reduce sunlight such as vertical blinds and plants as a barrier.

Here are some tips on how to design windows for comfort and interior architectural aesthetics.

LEAK-PROOF HOUSE DESIGN

Leaking houses are very disturbing, especially when there are guests staying. There are several tips for those of you who will build a house to avoid leaking. Among others are:

1. Create a simple roof design. The point is to make a roof shape that doesn't meet much between the parent roof and the child's roof to form gutters. The formation of many gutters is very big risk of being the cause of leakage. Moreover, the installation method of gutters and roof slopes is not good, rainwater that falls quite heavily will cause puddles on the gutters, resulting in leakage.

2. Use a strong roof truss and good installation according to installation standards. The distance of the frame that is too wide and the slope is not enough will make the roof not strong enough to withstand the pressure of rain and wind. This will cause a leak.

3. Use experienced builders when installing the roof because the use of inexperienced builders will make the roof as long as it is installed, not tight or overlapping and bad gutters.

Here are some tips to make your house leak-proof. Hope it is useful.

WALL TOOL

Has the inner wall of our house experienced problems such as water seepage or peeling without us knowing the cause causing the interior space or the interior of the house to be dirty, ugly or unkempt when the age of care for the paint is not so long ago, ideally by using standard paints and routinely perform treatment, age or time of painting the next minimum is 2 years. Many people complain about this and until now still can not be overcome well. Many steps have been done but have not been able to cope up to 60%, but the most important thing to know to prevent this event to happen next is:

a. Rarely or perhaps we are not aware that the interior walls of our homes that are                    experiencing this  event are adjacent to the wall of our neighbor's bathroom. There                may be a leak in the plumbing  from the bathtub or shower faucet so that the water                coming out of the leaking pipe seeps through  the walls of our house. Or it could be              ceramic grout in the bathroom already need care because   many are loose or damaged      so that the water in the bath or water splashes in the shower either by  using a scoop or        shower easily and quickly seeped into the wall through the damaged grout holes.

b. At the time of building the house, the installation of the wall after the sloof does not use a      mixture  of cement and sand with a composition that is in accordance with the provisions,      for example ideal  for the mixture of the species is 1: 3 (1 cement: 3 sand). This section        is  called a high-size trassram  that should be ideally made 40 cm from the surface of the      sloof. Why is that? The more ideal the  comparison in the species in terms of the number      of no more than the ideal size above, then the  volume of ground water will be very small      to seep up through the brick pairs on the wall. So the main factor is the ideal ratio in              making the species for wall-brick couples.

c. On the exterior or exterior wall we often ignore to be given a plaster layer and if it is given      plaster  usage of species for plastering is less or not ideal in the ratio, eg ideally this              species wear ratio 1: 5, but in general use the 1: 7 can even be more than that for                  example 1:10 ratio and some wear  ratio up to 1:12, really can not be justified. The result      is when the heavy rain with the direction of  the wind toward the wall with a surface                without plaster then easily rain water will seep into the interior wall of space or interior.          And if this is allowed to drag on improperly for example by  adding a leak-proof coating or      fixing a damaged plaster or giving plaster layers of the right type on  the unmade                  plastered wall surface, the volume of seepage in the wall will continue to rise and this            can  result in more serious damage.

   Hopefully some of the above information can help us to be able to take preventive action in the future when it is or will renovate our house or create a new house so that when inhabiting a new house we are not disturbed by the problems as above, seepage on the wall to make headache.

LIVING ROOM

    The living room is one of the most important places for us to gather with our family after almost half the days of using our activities outside the home. In terms of extent, its existence is not necessarily ascertained by the size of the numbers so, but functionally and inner atmosphere, this space can form itself and then we can give a clearer boundary by giving accent melalyu elements or components filler space or interior such as portable cabinets or bookshelves, skatezels (spatial separators), different floor height or motif or floor ceramic size different from surrounding space, shape and design of ceiling and lighting using different lighting intensities (dark and light levels) and type selection furniture that is more informal, relaxed and the amount adjusts to the size of the living room, Maybe just a sofa and a lazy chair placed in the corner of the room to relax with a minimalist television sideboard. In one corner of the room can be placed standing lamp or plant vase that can help keep freshness in spaceFunctionally, the family room can also function as a dining room this is due to several reasons, including:

a. limited land area, so that when spatial planning in or sketches of ideas in the form of 
    room or interior plan, the need for family room can be neglected and as a solution,
    dining  room functions can be used as a family room.b. Usually at the time of eating together with the family that we often talk and tell each 
    other  about our work, personal problems and about family issues so indirectly,
    the function of the dining room can be a family room. Even so far the existence of 
    the family room only for the lounge and reading room.c. Along with the advancement of time and the availability of land in the city, the design 
    of the interior or interior layout currently using the concept of design metro, city design,
    where in a design house, all the needs will be filled with space multi-function system, 
    such as living room as well as dining room or into space dining and family room with only 
    accented skatezel.    With the description above we can conclude that the existence of family room in the design of interior or interior layout is still needed but not absolutely there must be this because it adapts to the area of ​​existing land and functionally, dining room can be used also as a family room.
