Bioclimatis design not only provides comfort for the residents. The house is also designed to adapt to climate change that occurred.

Comfortable residential certainly be everyone’s dream. Comfortable home will provide positive energy for you and your family. A residential house comfortable when arguably it is able to protect residents from any weather, both hot and rainy. If you want to apply this design in your home, you can choose bioclimatis possible.

The design was first popularized by architect Kenneth Yeang a refreshed design that can adapt to climate changes so that every person residing or passing and Doing Activities in this building feel comfortable and familiar impression. They like being in the shade plants.
Climate is generally composed of several parts, including rain, heat, damp, and cold.

From the few examples of this climate then try bioclimatis applied to building design. This design is carried like a living creature that reacts to changes in climate.

So, more focus on how the building behaves like a plant or other living creatures. For example, if he takes the wind, is available where the wind so that it can move so that there is air circulation. If you feel the heat building, anticipated soon. For example avoid facing eastwards.

According to Bambang Eryudhawan architect, design, building design bioclimatis whose behavior is similar to living creatures when to adapt. Then the behavior is translated in the building to adapt to climate changes.

Well if you want to apply the concept bioclimatis occupancy should be designed from the outset. In addition resulted in a higher maximum, cost-effective any more. Without careful planning, this comfortable house you may be difficult to realize. For example, it turns out that the building had become too hot, not in accordance with the occupants, it must be dismantled again. So to avoid it, the concept was so important when it is drawn. Only then architect to develop it all into a building form.

“In fact, there is also a switch to using recycled materials like bamboo. The goal, so the building can adjust to the climate, “said Bambang.

The same architects Andry Hermawan said. According to him, the definition of bioclimatis architecture is essentially an integration between product architecture and the natural components that create synergy. Architecture itself is an applied science, which means science that is created from the combination of various disciplines such as physics, mathematics, anthropology, botany, and so forth.

Andry added, in designing buildings bioclimatis concept should consider many things to create a balance and symbiosis mutualism as a whole. Like, materials, ergonomics, concept, vegetation, topography, climate, and technology applications in the development of ecology.

For material elements, building materials should be selected which has several elements, among other environmentally friendly, low-level radiation, and has good energy efficiency. While the ergonomic design, related to the spatial structure, hierarchy and the appropriate level of comfort for the user.

While the concepts, technical concepts which are usually carried out scientifically. For example, said Andry, artificial and natural lighting calculation methods and DPMB BCRS. The calculation speed of the air / water velocity to reach the comfort zone area, HVAC calculations based on activity and heat release from the material, run off coefficient for the calculation of drainage requirements, the calculation of clean water and dirty water, rain water harvest, and so forth.

For vegetation, which is considered is the selection of the type of vegetation, would have to give the effect of thermal comfort, visual art, conservation of water. Other aspects, such as topography, can be done with the method of execution of work from start land clearing, stripping, cut and fill, import fillings, and other land treatment methods. In addition, note also the climate and the application of technology with ecological considerations.

“Some thoughts on the above represents only a small part of thinking and architectural design concepts bioclimatis. One concept that has been proven is the concept of vernacular architecture, though predominantly influenced by sociology and cultural elements, “said Andry.

Judging from the architectural characteristics bioclimatis, specifically those traits can not be known for each area or region has a value of “typical” individual. In addition, as mentioned above, the core of the design bioclimatis is synergy.

Even if there are, these characteristics can be known in its planning process. Maybe in the form of roofs that do not have the basic shape such as gable or a shield to reflect an architectural model bioclimatis but could use another roof. For example, call Andry, the houses are in Africa or the Eskimos have flat roofs and even a round. Andry added, architectural design is basically bioclimatis “Nature” is the value you’ll enjoy. Thus, the materials used does not have any experience literally, like a roof made of thatched or covered with grass.

The condition can affect the mood of the room you are working. Sometimes there are conditions that are not felt directly on our senses. However, if prolonged, would affect the peace.

Fluctuating temperature difference when working indoors can cause anxiety and loss of concentration.

Light entering the room could give effect to the savings in electricity usage. This also indirectly reduce carbon consumption for electricity generation.

Carbon emission reductions ranging from micro-scale can be done by using plants as a supplementary element of the room.

GIVE touch can make a difference in the occupancy of the occupants feel comfortable. One step that can be done, applying the wallpaper in some areas of the wall.

Wallpaper used to give texture to the wall. The development of increasingly sophisticated wallpaper, is not easily torn, and easy to clean. Its function will slowly as wall paint. But in terms of price, wallpaper is more expensive than paint.
With this function, when you want to create more beautiful residential interior appearance, then it is to know what steps should be taken.

We want to give texture on one wall, usually I use wallpaper. Because of the consistently provide only the wallpaper texture. Sometimes if the existing paint texture, the results were less consistent. Moreover, if the builder can not apply very well. The result will look less nice.

In addition to the shelter can provide texture, wallpaper also has another function. It’s just that, in order to align the desire, there are some smart steps when applying it.

Wallpaper can give texture and accent. Because a lot of motives, good to give the accent at home. If you want to give accent to a specific room to make it look good, you can give a touch of wallpaper in one area of the wall and three other areas need not be given .Along with the development mode, any style or color of wallpaper in accordance with the latest trends.

Perhaps the motive remains a lot, but much fainter colors, baseball is too strong. It was more to the earth color, such as soil color, green, blue, and something to do with nature.

Now, in order to create the feel of a more dramatic, the lighting elements also provide a major impact.

We as interior designers consider lighting as an element number one is very important. As we move indoors, where there was no sunshine and the place is the lighting. So, if we put the wrong lighting, the room will seem far from the desired perception. If the atmosphere to warm the room, and then we put the white lights, he would seem to die.

So, how do I apply the proper lighting in the dwelling?

If it’s for the house, avoid the colors his tone of white. Use warm lamp white tone, not the cool white because the color is too pale and too less to paint the walls of life. If the walls are white , so given light blue, light blue will make the room so blue.

As long as I can remember we were Table lamp. This is not something new or recent, but probably evolved in many shapes and designs over the years since its inception. In fact, the table lamp is probably one of the most popular types of lights were observed for home, perhaps second only to the general lighting that comes with the overhead fluorescent bulb. Its popularity probably stems from the fact that even with its features, but it could still take a few important points in the aesthetics department. Perhaps the idea of this hue of light that is something that prevents it from being just ordinary.

Table lamp can be used in two ways: for functionality and aesthetics. Using functional table lamp is what is perhaps the main purpose of his creation, but today I came in many designs and shapes that make great eye-candy for the home. I was window shopping at the mall last week and saw this beautiful table lamp.

The design was very complicated, and its beauty was very palpable. I kept thinking how my mother, ecstatic, if I come home for her. When I saw the price, however, I changed my mind. However, it is just an example of how the lights have changed over the years. If I track back to say five years ago, probably would not see the fire image complex. This is a perfect example of a table lamp that was more for decoration than anything else.
