Any dreams Choosing Housing

Finding and choosing housing as well as looking for soul mate. Many things to consider when choosing the location.

Javanese older generation often equate home with "pulung", that is grace for those who are soul mates. According to their beliefs, people who buy homes, both new homes and seken, means a "pulung".

To be able to buy a house must have a certain effort from the person concerned because the house is not available so only for those who can afford it.

Many choices
Because buying a house should "fit" with the buyer, then you are willing to buy a house will certainly be looking for a house that "fits" with you.

We have a lot to offer home sellers, both located within the housing and outside the housing complex. The houses were offered by many parties, including the developer's own housing, real estate broker, and people who would sell his house.

Seeing the house functions as a place of refuge and live forever, then select the home should be done with the steps carefully and wisely. With a variety of bids, your options become more widespread.

In choosing a residential house, to consider is the location factor as the main factor in choosing a house. After getting the location, you specify the new housing which would you choose.

In order not one step in choosing housing, here are some things that need to be considered in the selection.

1. See what developers
House as a unit, particularly property purchased with the credit-will involve long-term commitment. This is where the element of trust plays an important role in the business peroperti. When you give money sign "so" and advances, means you believe that the developer will maintain your trust.

So developers can consider when choosing a unit trust property in a location. How? Find information on whether the developer in question may be on time to build and submit their products (houses) in the previous project. If you need to check whether the developer has a disability or not in fulfilling the promise at the time of the handover of the house. This is important considering the number of developers who do defaults. In some cases the law also happens that the developers do not build a house visit.

2. See the theme and master plan housing projects
With computer simulation, you can see the developer offered leaflets with visuals that can illustrate the themes and housing masterplan. Both the identity of the housing project. If the theme and its masterplan is a city park, so the location was certainly not built industrial park.

Industrial development in a region may make it a noisy area, but big business opportunities if property prices in the region increased. On the other hand, the city parks may offer a quiet residential neighborhood, but property prices may also be "calm and steady" course. Therefore, find locations that fit your needs.

3. How to supply clean water
The problem of clean water in Jakarta and other major cities remain a classic problem. Until now the problem is not solved, despite existing regional water company (PDAM), some of which work with foreign companies.

Clean water supply to residents' houses are often faltered, and even stuck at all. Water quality is also the subject of complaints. In this case, water wells appear to be a solution. The reason, sort of well water for free, beyond the cost of electricity to the pump. However, well water is not always good. Now the more often we hear that the water wells contaminated with sea water or industrial waste. If consumed over many years could disrupt health.

For that, you should ask the developer, how to clean water supply at his housing location; whether to use well water or water from the taps. And do not forget to ask my next door neighbor, too, how the quality of drinking water.

4. Completeness facility
In general, houses in the compound are offered in conjunction with various public facilities and social facilities, such as swimming pools, water storage, electricity networks, telephone, fire extinguishers, waste water management (SEWAGE TREATMENT plan), religious facilities, health and place.

Facilities that meet customer needs and will function well as home lifestyles. Careful selection of the availability of facilities will provide greater opportunities to obtain capital gains. Generally developers avoid building a complete facility from the beginning because of the potential adverse developers with the high cost at the beginning, and if there is a recession that cost does not come back. Complete facilities from the beginning to make buyers pay more.

The gradual development facility will increase the value of the property in accordance with the development level of amenities and provide benefit to the first buyer. In other words, incomplete facilities can provide opportunities for increases in house prices. However, the facts show that many developers who break a promise to build the facility.
5. Quality
Without such standardization institutions in developed countries, the unit of property can be built with different qualities. It is said that this is one of the obstacles that make business mortgage-backed securities (mortgage-based securitization) to grow in Indonesia.

In this regard, it is important for prospective home buyers to consider the quality aspects, both physical quality of houses, roads, and the environment.
6. See if the developer runs estate management division (ME)
In addition to building a facility, the physical condition of the environment can also affect the sale price of homes in the future. Therefore, looking for information about long-term development plan of the area developed. Pockets of vacant land should be maintained so as not to suddenly develop into slums because of the undisciplined development.

How do step and attempts to developers in the complex housing prices will not fall in the future, such as environmental deterioration and others. This can be seen from how good estate management division to manage issues such as waste, facilities, and owners associations.

7. Citizen participation
Although not a guarantee, antarwarga cooperation can make a more comfortable housing complex inhabited and safe. Therefore, in general, the developer promoting the participation of residents to participate in addressing environmental needs. For example, support the establishment of home owner association, such as RT and RW in the township which will handle the existing problems in a self-help housing. But sometimes initiated mobilization effort developers are not going well.

If you already know the condition of a residential neighborhood and decided to buy a house in the area, make sure you also look at other housing options available in the area.

If you want to spend USD 200 million for a house, see also the house more expensive to offer those around him. Many houses are sold at a price below the asking price. It may be that you may be able to spend a little more money to get the facilities much higher value.

If you are looking for a house with the help of property broker, make sure you do not neglect the houses sold by the owner directly (which is not sold by the agent / broker property). If not, you may lose the chance get a good property

Construction: Changes Being A Living House

Although initial structure retaining, by opening some areas, can give a different impression of a home stay.

Old house located in Ciputat numbers (in the complex UI professor) is owned by the family Tanuwidjaja Djohan. Repeated reforms carried out by a team of young architects, the Pavilion 95.
Condition of the old house when viewed from a structural aspect is still pretty good, so the design team thought that the design concept will be taken at first just a face lift (changes in the skin of the building) only. The thought of this design team was approved by the owner, for reasons of lack of funding.
Homeowners who have a 'sense of art' is quite unique, the design choices of their residential buildings in the modern and simple concept. Then the owners also felt that the houses they live with her daughter three is too wide. In addition, the wife who has an interest in the arts tend to be introverted in terms of the orientation of the house. So that the emerging challenges for designers is how to bring a new house that is not too broad, without reducing the existing circulation. Development team then carried out by the architect occurred both in terms of space or space filler / furniture.

Initial Condition
The building was built in the early 1980s, consists of one floor. The figure of the building originally looked a bit 'fat', with rooms that tend to form elongated and narrow, and includes entrance into the bay. Saddle-shaped roof, big enough and simple. But overall, the arrangement circulation and natural lighting is not so good. The orientation of the building faces north, but the building facade is shielded from the afternoon sun with a lot of trees around it. In addition, this house-shaped coupling that has a classic problem, namely the wall that joined with the neighbors. Proximity to neighbors can menimbulakn noise pollution from the side and rear.
Some of the above is what encourages Djohan to dismantle the house, so it can become a comfortable home for his family. One thing that becomes the primary consideration in doing this is to renovate the building electrical and plumbing problems, which must be dismantled total due to age.

Change Design
By maintaining the main structure of the old house, design team tried to present a 'cross-over' new in the house. In addition, they are also trying to strengthen some existing circulation by opening up some areas (walls) long.
Determination of focus-focus of the effort remains in one as (axis) to demonstrate the continuity of space. For example, dining room, pantry, and kitchen are placed in one axis that can be perceived as a unit of space.
Another point of interest that can be directly visible from the entrance is a wall and closet pantry limiting the living room. This barrier cabinets can be seen directly from the living room, because there is no permanent barrier that blocked the view into the house.
While the addition of new walls in this house, but made for the benefit of limiting the neighbor, also made in the main bedroom, terrace, and room service. The wall in the back room, which is only 1 meter away from the neighbors behind the house, it was decided to be a silencer from the back. The hole contained a large window on the wall is closed, replaced by a new wall textured mondrian, with air holes on the bottom. This hole also serves to control the activities of people who use the space behind it, which is used as a drying area. So if a stranger entered must be easily recognizable because of his feet visible from inside the house. With many openings are made wide enough to the rear, the existence of this wall is also used as a 'scene' for the dining room and family room.
The inside of the wall is converted into the back porch. Because of the terrace outside the house part, then the owner of the house no longer feels that his house was too broad, because the area has been reduced in space. In addition, the use of transparent polycarbonate roof on the terrace area is indirectly reflect sunlight into the house. So the lighting problems can be overcome.

Detailed Design
Savings funds for design details were trying to do. As the only door frames using wood as a threshold, thus eliminating vertical side jamb. Then use a pair of pivot hinge system which is cheaper than the 3 sets of swing hinges on a standard door frame. But not all doors are made like this, exceptions are made in some units panel doors more severe.
Glossy wood paint used on nearly all wood materials, but can save processing time, is also relatively easy to maintain. Wood panels with duco paint finish and a melamik accent pilhan to form space, as well as to hide the cable channels and closing the old wall surface uneven.

Display House
For the facade of this building, wanted to create something a bit different from the surrounding environment, but not too flashy. Thus the design team trying to present a form of a cube in the front of the house are made by cutting gable. These pieces then balanced again with a flat vertical wall which is marker for the entrance of the house. The entrance is formed from the arrangement of horizontal lines of colored natural wood semi-transparent, which is the focus of the first people when entering the house. Timber arrangement is expected to imply the security and adds warmth to the whole house actually look this cool.
The concept of geometric asymmetry on the building facade is reinforced with grout lines in the aluminum walls of the cube. Nevertheless, the striking impression can be reduced by avoiding the selection of light colors on the face of the building. The colors are chosen to neutralize the atmosphere is white, combined with a warm dark brown as an accent. Thus the emergence of the figure of 'new neighbors' in this complex environment did not seem arrogant. Modern simplicity is what you want to display by the designers at home

Interior: The unique combination of various materials

Integrating the various materials which are not "normal", to be attractive alternatives for creating a home look different. The resulting color mix was richer.

With the reasons for wanting to add space for her children, who live in Rosiana Rempoa doing a complete renovation in late April this year. Adding space is done by increasing the house into two floors, the room filled with children, bathroom, storage, and the playroom. Meanwhile, a number of spaces on the ground floor of the living room, master suite, child's room, dining room, and relatively the same service area. These spaces only slightly changed the size and appearance with a mixture of new material.

Warm, Natural, Firm
Because of frequent movie-themed American cowboy, Rosi fell in love with country-style house, complete with a charming rural nature. So she made her home as much as possible to adapt a memorable style warm, natural, solid, and the ancient little while doing renovations.

Impression on the captured even from the front of the house; wooden fences, brick walls exposed to the outside of the house, as well as natural stone floor terrace, which combined with the sweet. Model window with opening up the window blinds united / jalousie. It looks so unique and not too uncommon to find as the main window at the houses in Indonesia.

Entering the living room filled with warm colors, especially red, warm impression came back. "I like the colors that contrast," I Rosi. "The room was not monotonous." The proof, he dared to combine the red-striped wallpaper with a beige wall.

Paired Three "Stone"
Stairwell seems to be the center of attention in the basement of this house, because it made so attractive by the owner of the house. Prominent in the area that also serves as a clean kitchen (pantry) is the use of various materials from stone. The wall facing the living room covered with stone slabs Palimanan, while the steps made of stone. The remaining walls of red brick which is actually a composition of brick-patterned wallpaper.

"Bata original exposure was expensive," said Rosi, who does not like to let the plain-painted walls, wallpaper selection to explain the reasons. "Installation of wallpaper is quite complicated because it must consider the 'sweet race'," he added. The definition of "nice race" is connecting the right motive for the connection between the sheets of wallpaper with one another is not visible. Automatically, the amount of wallpaper that it takes more than a plain or patterned wallpaper pieces. This time Rosi need 16 rolls wallpaper that happened he got a low price of Rp 50,000 per roll.

Exploiting Lower Roof
Upstairs, Rosi adding a multipurpose room. Multipurpose room that is now more widely used as a place to play and learn son. "My friends my child, Indira, happy to play here. Because of its location here, they do not interfere, "he said. Appeared in the Attic is a set of television, playstation and computer.

Actually, this is the use of the roof which then "transformed" into a room. In the dining room is large enough voids for areas adjacent to the staircase, 2nd floor while the roof is also quite high. With floor-beams can be either wood or concrete, which creates additional space located just below the roof. With the combination of wooden fencing, the framework is deliberately exposed roof, and walls covered with wallpaper brick pattern, the country remains strong impression in this playroom.

Rosi who had briefly architectural education, design their own home renovations, while the calculation and construction material needs he handed over to the more experienced contractors. Renovation that was completed within 4 months this time by 4 people dikerjahan core workers with an additional 2 man handyman. With a cost of approximately USD 100 million, Rosi and his family now occupy the house that meets their needs plus the dream decorating style Rosi.

Wood and stone for the Fences

To complement the style adopted for the house, Rosi was dressing my front fence with a country style. Style that put forward a natural impression and a little "rough" it seemed to stand on the fence.

Here Rosi using logs that stem dolken grooved and slightly uneven surface, which sebuahnya only Rp 5,000. Timber approximately 5 cm in diameter that was strung together with a crossed pattern. As alloys, Rosi chose a medium-size coral as a fence wall coverings. Coral bought a sack of Rp 15,000 is to give a solid impression on the fence.

As a final touch, the rod dolken painted dark brown. Do not forget, he gives a transparent coating on the stone koralnya, to keep the natural look but resistant moss.

Wash Tub the Perched

In homes, usually at the kitchen sink embedded in the high table and the edges parallel to the height of the kitchen table. However, not so with the sink in the pantry Rosi. Round sink stainless steel is placed "perched" above the table, only a few bodies that are embedded on the kitchen table.

What reason Rosi? "If it sinks well with the desk, like nyiprat water everywhere. If it's water falls directly into the suburbs, "said Rosi, pointing to his lips sink. Maybe you have the same problem, can try. Calculated to make the kitchen a unique look right?

Exterior: a Central Park Tiny

The problems faced by many homeowners in the compound is a limited area. Limitations of this area is often spurred homeowners to take advantage of every inch of land he owned the room. Dus, no area was left open at the back of the house. This causes the air circulation and the availability of light for the home is less, because there is only one opening, ie at the front of the house.



Lack of openings in the house residents makes health at stake. In addition to health considerations, the lack of openings in the back of the house will eliminate cross ventilation (cross ventilation). This makes the hot air trapped inside the house and be less comfortable conditions for occupants.



One solution to anticipate the trapped hot air is to create a small opening in the middle of the house. Why in the middle? Because generally, the rooms are not getting exposure as a source of light and air are in the middle of the house (especially at home with elongated shape).



Small openings in the middle of the house to make the remaining land in the back can still be used to the room. This could be your opening into a garden design. Because of the park, which clearly did not "reject" if the rain-soaked you can create a model of an open roof so that fresh air and sunshine more freely entered.



Small size, is not a barrier for you to turn this opening into a beautiful garden. Thus, in addition to functional objectives for flow of fresh air and sunshine is reached, a tiny park in the middle of this house can also add the beauty of the interior of the house. Here you can cheat some garden design was the tiny size.



Accents Two

Central park this one spent the entire area into the pond. The use of water to help create a cooler atmosphere in the house. To add a dynamic pool, the owners add a small waterfall that flows through the barrel-shaped clay.



The location is "stuck" in the middle of the house, a garden center is only a little sunlight. Therefore, plants should be used to hold the shade. Leaves of ornamental plants would be a good choice. In addition to plant selection, pond maintenance also need to be considered true, because it would be easier mossy.



Tiny With Natural Stone

This park was really tiny. Size less than 2m x 2m, but still able to bring cool and gemericiknya water element. With the principle "might appear a little too pretty", the waterfall created by the design of small steps. Construction of these steps are also useful to cover the installation of water pipes and pumps are somewhat less eye-catching.



The material used for the steps are brick and cement coated natural stone. Natural stone is also selected as another filler element in this park. The impression gained from the use of natural stone is a natural shade. In order not too crowded, the plants that used only three kinds of course and all are the leaves of ornamental plants.



Stay dry Okay

These homeowners do not want to be bothered with the stained soil. Therefore, the selected design is a stretch of pavement that covered the white coral. To be similar, in the rear wall lined with natural stone creamy white color.



Elements plants need to be added to the rectangular openings remains a lush. Planting with potted it easier for maintenance, because the plants once a week can be released into the front yard to get the full sunlight.



Cloudy With Antique Vases

Openings this one made by elevating the level of the floor and made a kind of "like". Furthermore, the tub filled with white coral. As an accent, here and there laid stone. Rear wall is covered with designs made of natural stone to a more natural impression.



Ornament is added antique urns and shellfish. Jars of clay color matching the color of the wall coupled with a brown back. While the shells are adding colorful accents of brown and green dominance.



The Yellow Chic

The house is shaped lengthwise. To overcome the lack of light and air was made an opening on the left side of the building. To clothe this opening was made waterfall on the wall covered with natural stone model bundles of betel leaves.



To be cheerful, yellow was chosen for the walls and natural stone fawn as a coating bath basin. Dutch betel regulated plants hanging from the wall of the waterfall to enliven the atmosphere.



To be Secured

Home security in order to stay awake, then the top of the opening bars of the security should be given. Thus, the fixed maximum exposure, but uninvited guests could not enter.
