NOT only that imitation jewelry, one park there was a fake. This imitation garden park called artificial (fake).

This is an artificial wall reliefs in the park which is used as background garden. Typically, wall reliefs showing often dramatically with models like the walls of the palace garden with scratches and interesting artistic and additional rock, gravel, and sand.

However, with some reason, the plants are sometimes used fake plants. Although the use of this plant should not be because in addition to no good, which is displayed in green color senatural not the original plant. Fake plants are usually used when an artificial garden area that there is absolutely no sun light.

“Artificial garden made for settlements, is not very scientific. The use of plants that can not be false. To get space that is not exposed to the sun can be used as dradanea shade plants,” said landscape architecture from the University of Trisakti Arwindrasti Jakarta Ir.

General artificial garden in the house was built to impress a beautiful, green, and shady with natural colors. Colors are derived from the color of the leaves and hard materials (hardscape) which became one of important elements to complement the design of a park, such as pebbles, flowers, and rocks. In addition, a narrow land is also a reason for residents to bring the garden inside the house.

“It’s more beautiful when built inside the house, but outside (the house) is also good. It all depends on the taste of a home. In addition, this park can also be built for those who do not have a large yard, but want to have a garden,” says decorator park from Park Abdul, Abdul Madjid.

The concept of artificial park’s most widely adopted into the home of the rock reliefs made by various models with the addition of other accents. Among other bridges, fountains, and statues of geese, pond, and garden lights are dim.

All relief rocks made of cement with iron or wire framework. Layer of wall reliefs in the park is rough and the shape of the cliff niche. Meanwhile, for the plants, Abdul Madjid using native plants, whether plants or plant shade hot. For space is not much sunlight, he’s using shade plants, while plants placed in the heat of a lot of sunlight or outdoors.

Temporary relief to the model itself is a form of rock with lots of scratches, steep-steep or cliff, using natural stones and river stones, using a bamboo or a jar for water fountain, fish pond model, and so on.

The placement of the park in this house, Arwindrasti said, should be in the car port, into the living room, or under the stairs. Dry garden plants or dry resistant plants, such as palm-paleman types can be combined with beautiful artificial because the location in the home garden is not much sunlight.

In addition to the dining room, use another room under the stairs as well as a choice. Thus, the view down the stairs that was not attractive at all, to be worthy of the beautiful scenery to enjoy. Artificial garden built outside the house, usually built on the porch or beside the house.

Problems park must be adjusted to the style of the house. Arwindrasti tells, for the modern home or country, the plant used for the artificial garden of exotic plants with beautiful flowers and leaves. “If to park in the house vote is beautiful like a palm leaf. However, if for outside the home, use a beautiful flower,” he said.

For the modern home, he said, could choose waterfalls in the walls to support artificial beauty in the home garden. In addition to making this waterfall is not too much to eat the living, beautiful impression fits with the style of modern house.

Abdul Madjid added, to house modern, minimalist model of an artificial garden, a lot of play in the scratches and, are also suitable. The reason is, if the artificial garden accents are displayed in the bustling modern house, the atmosphere that emerged would be too crowded and looked solid. Meanwhile, for country-style home, large pond in the garden more artificial, rural areas will find that the impression will be more integrated with the sound of water pond.

AREA garden can become the center for a special day Hospitality. Especially if it is large enough. Garden party atmosphere will be more festive and friendly.

rea park is divided into several parts. Backyard or back garden, side garden and courtyard. Some garden design tailored to the needs of modern society. Therefore, not surprisingly, a growing garden design lately. Garden design began as a modern European-style or traditional-style garden design inspired by contemporary Japanese culture and China.

Lately more and more people are trying to design an urban park as a place to relax and enjoy a meal with the family. Park in the residential area called courtyard was still able to have a double function. In addition to maintaining air circulation within residential, this area can also be used as a means of relaxation.

Courtyard usually has a size 3 x 3 meters square. Even if you do not have a sufficient area, size 2 x 2.5 meter square can still be used as an area to build a courtyard. Of course, the concept and design must remain united with the general theme of the building.

“The most important thing is how to make the courtyard more functional, but still one with the general theme of the house,” said Nirwono yoga, interior design and landscape experts from Joga Sandjaya Rahman Consultant.

Interestingly, this time more and more popular courtyard. In addition to having health functions related to air circulation, is also a courtyard area that can functionally replace the function of the family room or dining room.

Besides courtyard, rear garden and a wide side could also be the location of the family together. Keep in mind, the park has two elements. Software elements begin to form furniture plants such as tables and chairs are an important part of the area used as a place to mingle this.

To remain functional, backyard is usually also equipped with an umbrella or a roof that are resistant to weather. “A good design should still consider the theme elements, symmetry, contrast, and the combination antarelemen in a dwelling,” said Aris Purwanto, architect of the Linga Counsultant Jaya.

For instance, for a special design on the rooftop courtyard apartment. Unique design can be reflected from the game on the line colors are intended to visually displayed. The game rocks and plant elements are placed in the pot to make the atmosphere and aura of the park became more comfortable.

Gives the impression to remain calm but not boring, the combination of green leaves with shades of a garden elements feel more alive. Light green-dark green, light green, ivory, or even a light green-purple leaves are a few colors that can be applied in a courtyard.

For the selection of plants, courtyard location usually less suitable for the use of flowering plants. The reason this park area is not getting enough sunlight. Insufficient sunlight is feared will make plants that flower more quickly it will die or rot.

After all flowering plants need sunlight much larger in order to keep growing well. Flowers should be used only as decorative ornaments. For example to enhance your dining table arrangements.

Garden design trick is to combine the right elements. This can improve park aesthetics. “The combination of plants with natural stones can give the impression that more interesting in a park,” said Aris.

Anything as beautiful as the architecture, without a garden can seem hollow. Park made the residence of a more dynamic because it contains the spirit of encouraging residents to live.

Activities of all family members in utilizing the functions of each space optimally, starting bed, bath, worship, learning, cooking, sit back, until the gardening together is the essence of the home as a place to live.

Environmentally-friendly architecture is always trying to unite the building with its surroundings, such as a house or home garden organic architecture, better known as water falling house.

A healthy home is ideally have a composition of the basic building coefficient (KDB) and 60 percent of the basic coefficient green (KDH) 40 percent. KDH of the park is absolutely necessary as the lungs and the house where water absorption.

Limited land made KDH often reduced, even eliminated altogether. Return of the lifestyle trends of nature in the metropolis to the need for the garden returning home stretch.

In an increasingly urban life immersed in the materialistic and routine life, we need a balance of life that can be found in the house. One of them with gardening in the park as a drug believed to be physical and psychological therapy is efficacious, cheap.

The presence of the parks in the house was already a necessity and is a determining factor selling a house. Therefore, fitting to not let the house be left desolate without the presence of the park.

Nostalgic view of rural landscape is green, the seductive rush of water, birds singing in the trees that shade, or lie on the grass is the collective memory of a lifetime always be missed and haunting to be realized before the eyes back in our house.

And humanist nature is manifested in the forms of parks affected by many socio-cultural climate and a rich community life philosophy.

However, before we determine what form the park built on the most suitable home, we must first look at the concept of building homes. This is because the park also serves as an aligning of the architecture of the house and the environment.

Important elements

The theme park is very varied and harmonized with the architectural style of the house, like a tropical garden (colorful plants), garden aromatic (fragrant aromatic plants), park life pharmacy (medicinal plants), or the herb garden (plants need to cook).

A little creativity in combining gardening with plants in groups according to type and color, pond fish from a barrel or pottery, fountains ready to display, and garden ornaments (natural stone, pottery sculptures, benches, lighting). The game also spotlights can provide dramatic, romantic, or silence in the garden at night.

Other plants are used to consider the location of the park, which is exposed to direct sunlight in full (flowering plants), half, or shade (green leafy plants).
