expected housing sector could support the growth of property in the second semester-2009.
“The persistently high demand potential in this sector makes a huge opportunity for investment,” said Chairman of Real Estate Indonesia (REI) Teguh Satria, in Jakarta, Thursday (23/7/2009).
He explained, with the trend continued decline in interest rates today following a national banking BI rate reduction is expected to be the main capital to boost housing sales. There is now a bank interest for the stepped housing 13.5 percent and is expected to continue to fall until the difference is not far from the BI rate.
In the last term, middle-class housing with Rp150 million price range-Rp500 million of the most feel the impact of the economy, so the sales decline. Unlike the subsidized housing that is more stable, because it is supported by the government.

Maximum Lean Furniture Works
Kitchen June 16th, 2010
SIZE housing and furniture should have a harmonious proportion. Although the house has real needs that can not be bargained.
Tricks that can keep a small house accommodating to all sorts of activities and the need is to select furniture slim but maximum power. Do not forget, aesthetic elements must always be noted. Generally, modern or minimalist homes with disabilities to accommodate all types of furniture.
However, it does not mean we can not “peace” in these circumstances. “Small space means that the concept was taken over into the modern, the priority function rather than expression,” says interior designer Joseph Nadi Nuriman of Interior.
No wonder, the form of furniture these days more practical and minimal carving or accent. In addition, furniture is also often placed in areas somewhat “isolated” as under the stairs, one part of the wall, or corner of the house. If a small house, you need to play with furniture such as tables and shelves.
We start from the front area. Usually no or little houses rarely have the foyer. However, if any, should there be placed high tables with a decorative mirror on the wall.
On the left and right, provide a rack which camouflaged by the cover wall. This area could be to store shoes or other equipment without damaging the foyer order itself. Then into the living room or directly into the living room. Sofa-sized soft to be comfortable watching TV. However, unfortunately if the bottom can not be good storage facilities.
If you are already fond of the sofa, make a kind of bag on left and right side to put the magazine. Or empower the table with large drawer. If the area was limited to sitting room, just put a pair of chairs with a coffee table in between. Give an ornament of a beautiful painting on the wall, or you need to return “punch” to put decorative wall tiles and picture frames.
The corners of the house usually “appear” empty because the interior is likely massive. This time, make more loosely so that the corner of the room can be filled with small tables.
“Because only a complementary function, then choose the model possible, such as a square table with four thin legs,” suggested Joseph. Area that is often overlooked is the bottom of the stairs. Though this area is usually quite large. Make a shelf in an area under the stairs, and then divide the shelves according to your needs.
Shelves that can be used to store various items such as shoes, toys, sports equipment mother’s father, and others. Log into the bedroom area, there are some furniture that could be “tricked”.
“Suppose that in a table, chairs, or beds that have lower storage drawer or surface can be opened to put various items. For the guest tables, normally also be a place to store magazines, while the drawer is connected directly to the bed can be used to store blankets, sheets, and many more, “said architect from Bandung again.
The area can also empowered the kitchen. Normally the kitchen in a modern house has a small size with a kitchen set plus electronic device. Creating space with the addition could be at the top to the ceiling.
Making higher shelf for tools that are rarely used, while the bottom shelf for utensils everyday. Practical and functional it is identical to modern life today, including the design of furniture for the house tropical minimalist.
Maximizing the function gives the furniture a minimalist home is more simple because you do not have too many furniture are only made as decoration. Form of minimalist furniture in the house tend to be more simple tropical with strict precision

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.

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

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).

Usually, the balcony is used to beautify the buildings were smaller and did not bring the interior of the balcony. Balcony to beautify residential usually placed under the upstairs bedroom or family room in the direction that lies at the top.
About him, balconies do not have to face the front or the back because they have adapted to the position of land and buildings. “Depending on the hook or not their land. In addition will be placed where, in the upper room with the laying of the room under the window, or also in the direction of the living room to make room for residents to see view from the inside out,” said Ade.
To be used as a balcony or a terrace above the combination to beautify the room, laying obligatory for interior balcony space is not empty and can be used to relax as well as the function of the terrace in general.
The placement of any interior’s design should be tailored to the architecture and the tastes of the occupants.
In addition, to add a balcony and beautiful view make it more shady, you can decorate the balcony with additional plants. The presence of plants would soften the harsh elements on the balcony. “We recommend that plants be selected first drafted, which could support the view of the building,” he said.

In addition, he also presents a palm plant in the corner of the box-shaped balcony. “Because here (balcony) to relax, I put vines and palms to the balcony looks more cool and green,” he said. Plants that can be selected is the type of vine.
Plants in pots of coarse grass or palm easy paleman absorb water can also be used as another option provided, Ade advice, do not select broad-leaf plants because of the potential should be diligent in inviting.Anda care. Do not let the plants do not display the form that interesting when viewed as too shady, wilting, and even death due to negligence or cut it flush.
Although the interior balcony and beautiful view add buildings, should be noted about the hot sun at the balcony stinging when during the day. This heating effect is usually the cause of the reluctant residents in the balcony when the sun was blazing. To, you can use the blinds of bamboo plaiting materials or fabrics, canopies, umbrellas and beach.

Interior Arrangement as a occupant Expression
Interior Design June 9th, 2010
DESIGNING interior is not equal to arrange placement of furniture in the room. In the interior design concept is very important to make a home beautiful, comfortable, and can express the soul owner. Each color selection, materials, shapes and peletakannya must be well planned, so that every resident will feel comfortable house.
According to Andri Wardhana interior designer, to create comfort for all occupants, there are some important things in designing the interior of the house. One of them is to determine the scale and magnitude of furniture that will affect your home interior structure. This is needed to maintain a balance between space.
Experimenting with color is one thing to do, so never be afraid to use color. Colors selected in accordance with your wishes, and if still confused can see examples of interior magazines or ask the opinion of several experts interior.
“The colors that match our tastes can enhance creativity to work for tomorrow,” said Andri Wardhana, interior designer from Wardhana Interior Design when contacted Legal, Wednesday (20/2/2008).

“Color can be made the same cabinet with the wall color so that a broader impression. Whatever the wall color is used, you should use white color on the ceiling to maximize light,” explained vice-chairman of Interior Designers Association of Indonesia DKI Jakarta.
Still according to him, if you want to give the impression the room was more spacious, you should use a mirror. Large mirror to reflect light throughout the room. Through the mirror, natural light and artificial light can be reflected to make the room brighter, both in the day or night. It would be more effective if a mirror is placed near the window, so the view in the room caught.
According to him again, if you like the accessories such as room pictures, should put it with an odd number. Therefore, do not leave blank walls. With a background of contrasting color to the walls the color of the entire wall, the wall can photographs and framed sized ornamental, plain, matching or contrasting with the dominant color of the walls.
This, he added, will have an impact on the balance, because the accessory in an odd number would be more pleasing to the eye compared with the number even.
