DESIGN modern homes always include carport or garage as part of the architecture of the house concerned. How to make it so that the area does not damage the dwelling facade?

A garage is usually located adjacent to the main house. For some design houses, sometimes garage located in a little bay and there is one part of cement with the open plains as a connection from the garage. That’s called carport.

Even some modern houses have no garage, carport and enclosed. This style was followed Western styles in foreign countries because there are many homes that do not have a garage but a carport only. This fact legitimate. But the thing is, you should consider the security aspect as well. Do you think it is safe enough to let your vehicle is parked in the open carport in the garage rather than a closed?

“The garage is considered more secure because it has a door as a protector. While it is only the foundation carport parking. The only protective fence,” says exterior designer homes Radjasa Halim.

Houses with large land has many advantages. Therefore, there can be built garage and carport. This scene will make a house a home look more luxurious.

Choosing a garage or carport may be a job that easy bother. “Make sure you select based on certain considerations, such as how much your home area, as well as whether the structure of the house supports the construction of carport or garage?” Halim said.

“In addition to the above, another thing to consider is whether your house is in a safe residential area or not? Do not push just because it’s a trend, but the harm or hurt yourself,” Halim said again.

When you finally decide which one would you choose, it does not mean thinking and planning stop there. You still have to wonder what will shape and design of your choice is. But sometimes, the size of the house and the size of the unbalanced vehicle can be another matter. Such as your home is a small type that may only be made too small garage. The garage is probably just enough to load a vehicle city (city car) that looks at small to your home.

But what if your vehicle it is a big vehicle types, such as jeeps or sports utility vehicle (SUV)? Is not the vehicle will not fit in your small garage? That means, you need a carport as a garage extension.

“The garage or carport can be made to separate so it looks as two different places. However, they can also build continuous and integrated so that it looked like elongated and more widely,” Halim. One of the safety advantages compared to the garage is an open carport.

One weakness is that still in the house, that means you have to think about the interior of the garage. “Do not let the garage to change the function of a warehouse where you put things did not matter or that you seldom use. This is one advantage carport, there’s nothing you need to order, or tidy up,” said Halim.

To be sure, you should not forget with the environment, such as the core of the park or your own home. Do not let the design of the garage or carport damage other designs already exist. Make sure all supporting each other and continuous.

Traditional-style homes set always gave the impression of ethnic beauty. Similarly, at the residence Bambang Rochyadi. In addition to also look pretty unique and interesting. How can it be like? Characteristics of the owner is very visible from the interior and exterior style of the Javanese house Bambang Rochyadi family owned it.

“From the beginning, instead I want to create an impression that ethnic. I just wanted something different and unique that can be enjoyed forever,” said Bambang, who had become director of professional TVRI.
No wonder, many guests who praised his  and coolness. In addition, the concept of energy saving was quite heavy in residential located in Cipadu, Prohibition, this Tangerang. The facade of the house is a house blend of tropical and ethnic Javanese. Built 1990 years ago, the door Javanese called gebyok enough exterior features of this building.

Age doors made of teak wood is hundreds of years old. The door is very special because it ordered and imported directly from Jepara. Rochyadi Bambang and his wife came from Central Java. This area of the house 260 square meters and has never been renovated since the beginning of the plan to build this house “creep”.

In a sense, little by little the house underwent a development that does not directly into the building looks like now. “Because of my artistic tastes which sometimes came suddenly, so it’s better built one at a time until they become a whole like this,” he said.

This home has a void in the family room with a ceiling made of bamboo. Again, Bambang want to give a unique touch in occupancy. One of them by installing ceiling instead of the plywood boards. “Why we do not use bamboo for the ceiling? So, not only for the fence. It’s durable, you know! From the beginning of this house was built until now have not changed anything and does not require any treatment,” said 54-year-old man was. Another well as the ceiling in the living room and lounge leading to dining room. Brown ceiling is not made of plywood boards, but comes from a former wood waste packing crates. Bambang get in Puri Kembangan Klender and still in the form of wood waste.

Then, the waste timber is modified into the ceiling with a pattern of lines and symmetry that was unique and creative. Bambang a larger role in the affairs of the house and set design interior room, including color selection and goods in his house. This is due Bambang has background experience in the audiovisual field. Therefore, the application was stated his experience in designing and organizing the house as a whole. Family room, very attractive because the floor was excavated lower than other floor surfaces. If not placed, chairs, tables, and television will look like a big hole.

“In the house that was necessary to create a different atmosphere so as not boring,” he said. Family dining room in the back of the house directly overlooking the large fish pond. The atmosphere was cool while the occupants to accompany the meal. “In addition, in order to feel at one with nature because it was in the open space,” said the husband of Barbara Ambarwati it. To get to the top floor, the stairs are made of wood became liaison. The top floor is designed for a bedroom, bathroom and study.

Floor wooden ladder was chosen not without reason. “Consideration to move people up and down the stairs could be heard,” he said briefly. Paint the house white-dominated intentionally. White color selection can give the impression of simple and clean. To carport, accidental paint a room green. “We see examples of the paint colors, I think a good green color. But when he painted, even the green looks so tacky,” he joked.

In addition, Bambang is also very concerned about ventilation as air circulation. Large glass windows made in the family room so the morning sun shines almost every room in the house.

EXCEPT as a safety and home land boundary, the fence also has an aesthetic function. The fence can beautify the park while providing privacy to the owner of the house.

The fence is one important element in the house located on the outside (exterior). There are several types of fences that can be applied. Wooden fence, vinyl fence, iron fence, bamboo fence, concrete fence, to hedge.

The trend in Indonesia is that most homes use the iron fence that is more powerful and able to protect homeowners from the growing crime rampant lately.

“The houses in Indonesia tend to have a minimalist design. There are too rare to take a particular theme. For reasons of flexibility, too, eventually more iron fence used.’s Iron fences can be combined with any theme,” said Irwan Soeryopati architect.

The importance of a fence can also be shown from the way the people who passed in front of the house to see your fence. The fence can be a representative of your entire house.

“The fence is located right at the front, outermost. So the first people seen before the garden and the house is a fence. If good fences, people would be interested to see further into the, into the garden and house. But, if the fence interesting, usually people will also see casually, “said Irwan.

Fences can show someone territory, limiting the land with each other, protect the plants in your garden from the hands of ignorant also a function of the fence. When choosing a fence, you should see the condition of the house and garden and the main purpose of manufacture.

“For small types of houses, fences should still not high. I’ll shut the house instead. Choose just too small fence. nice wooden fence to the little house. It seems so beautiful and ethnicity,” Irwan advice.

High fence, big, and looked “fine” will be good and fit for the big houses and wide as the elite housing. Although high fence, but because the house is also large, so it is still visible from the outside.

Condition of the park can be one consideration in choosing a fence. If your garden is an ordinary garden, only the grass or soil with crude plant, selection of a meeting of the fence could be a trick to cover up the lack of parks.

However, if you’re the type who likes to garden and plant care, as well as your garden which also includes park entry and beautiful beautiful category, you should probably choose a fence that looks somewhat estranged from one another.

“The fence is not going to loosely cover the beauty of your garden. So, although you are limited to fence the park, people can still see the beauty and your garden through the fence holes are somewhat tenuous,” Irwan.

The fence could also provide another look at the house without your having to dismantle or redesign pairs of your home. Simply change the color of the fence, the house already looks different. The cost was not as much if you renovate a house.

“If you have more budget, you can replace the fence, too. Suppose you had to use an iron fence, could be replaced with a wooden fence or vice versa,” says Irwan.

Whatever your idea of choosing a fence, which is important to adjust the financial situation and your home. Do not let the beauty of the fence cover your home and make instant bankruptcy

RISK bought a house in the shape of the building housing the same as other houses. How to be different?

There are special rules regarding the form and color of buildings in each housing. Many major developers prohibits changing the facade to maintain environmental harmony. Bogor Nirwana Residence (BNR) has special rules regarding the form of their buildings.

“Until now we do not allow the owner to change the front look.

“Our concept of green area of 60 percent. In addition to the park in their respective homes, we also have a big tree by the roadside,” Wahid call. Uniformity and harmony of the reason the developers impose strict rules on the prohibition of changing the face of the building. This is somewhat different from the rule of the house in Pondok Cipta Bekasi. Ari Wicaksono, a homeowner on the block B, claiming the freedom in designing the facade of the house.

Minimalist style house changed color from white to paint the exterior of pastel green. Wooden fence was replaced by iron to make it look more solid. “Developers in place here allow us to change the facades, building form as needed,” said Ari.

Talk color, all return to the rule. If you can not change the total, which can be tricked side is the garden, fence, window-door form, and carport.

“For example the display of landscape, we add a pond or fountain. Or a game of the fence, also order the windows and doors. Select the model that is more modern and different to some,” Mario called.

Play materials can be done by adding natural stone ornaments on the front frame. Similarly, the wood on the porch floor. Fence style country house, with wide wooden fence, can instantly become an accent that is not easily ignored.

Minimalist-style house is usually more easily “tricked”. Select a carport with a minimalist design, a little game in order to iron is also the color of the pergola. Synchronize with exterior paint color. Foyer area can be blocked by large windows that can be folded. Function foyer and living room together. Then if there is a wider space requirement, collapsible window open until the whole room up.

For example, the curtains using copper color greenish combined with decorative gold-colored flower pot that caused the combination Good. For tile, I apply the granite tiles with wood vine motif and bright light that is useful to expand the space, “said Haris Prabawa.
