Decoration of Environmentally Friendly Milk crates

Designing a green building does not have to use sophisticated and complex technology. Environmentally friendly technologies can be shaped recovery of the items that are not used and difficult to recycle.
Simple concept has been adopted by Lendager ARKITEKTER in some form of the following:
Stairs from milk crates
Lendager ARKITEKTER is the architectural firm that focuses on environmentally friendly designs. Not only the looks of the results of the design, Lendager also provides a touch-friendly environment in the office.
The company has committed to using only recycled materials and use the connections that can be assembled. Such connections can be easily disassembled. Thus, the materials used can be recycled properly when it is not in use. Lendager make steps in his office from the pile of milk crates and OSB boards.
Building of milk crates
A year ago, the Climate Smart Cape also used milk crates as building material manufacturer. They make a milk crate pavilion of 1,884. The building was designed by Touching the Earth Lightly and be a winner and a pavilion pavilion best greens in the culminating event of climate change.
Apart made from milk crates, other parts of the building are all utilizing the items recycled. The building has been showing sustainable design and clean technology in South Africa.
Green Wall
In addition to the stairs and even into a building, milk crates can also be used as a garden "hang". In 2010, Ann Ha and Behrang Behin make Living Pavilion, a building designed as a shelter in the summer.
The building is also made from milk crates and planted with greenery making it convenient to use as a shelter. However, not all plants planted milk crates. The designers of this building deliberately allowed some open crate as a place of entry of sunlight. Such a simple idea can provide many benefits and extraordinary effects on the environment.

Why Green Building More Expensive?

Investing green building is more expensive 10 to 11 percent compared to conventional buildings. This is because the building environmentally friendly use of energy saving technologies by 50 percent.There are some buildings that lead to environmentally friendly building, but the building operation was not able to maintain a friendly environment again.- Good Adikusumo

"Investing in green building development more expensive 10-11 percent premium certification or highest category. Investment will be back in less than five years, because the premium category environmentally friendly buildings can save energy by 40 to 50 percent," said Deputy Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI), Star Nugroho, in Jakarta, Monday (09/10/2012).The exit of Governor Regulation No.38/2012 on Building Green, according to the Star, is a good step. Criteria for environmentally friendly buildings in the regulation is lighter than GBC criteria, but as the beginning of this rule must be received by the public."Currently only two categories of platinum certified green buildings in Indonesia, namely Jakarta BCA Tower project and a new building owned by PT Dahana to be used for the administration in Subang," he explained.Meanwhile, Director of Office Services Colliers International Indonesia, Good Adikusumo, said the majority of property developers in Jakarta became interested in building environmentally friendly office building concept. The trend is for environmentally friendly buildings assessed to raise prices and rents office space."Some developers are already aware of the need to reduce global warming. Environmentally friendly office building also much in demand by foreign companies of the country is required to have an eco-friendly office space," he said.Good said the challenge of the concept of environmentally friendly buildings today is how to maintain the aspect developer-friendly environment, that is, after the project has started running.

"There are some buildings that lead to environmentally friendly building, but the operation of the building was not able to sustain more environmentally friendly. Environmentally friendly building cost would be more expensive than regular building and there has been no study that describes the percentage of the cost of building a bigger," he said .

"When the building operates, what percentage of the energy that can be saved and how much extra rents that can be obtained," he said.

More Beautiful with Glass Floor

If you want a unique touch to your home, there are now new ways to give a different look. You can use the glass floor as accents to beautify your home.

Glass floor will provide a dramatic and exotic. But, of course, it depends on the conditions of space and effort mixing and matching glass floor with furniture in it.In addition, it should also be remembered, glass can reflect light according to the light used and the color of the glass itself. So, you should not need to fully utilize the glass floor, but simply inserted between the floor tiles. To consider the use, here are some things you need to consider to get the perfect look:- Select the type of glass that is not slippery.- Avoid the use of clear glass because it will reduce your privacy. In addition, the glass mirror type also can be blinding.- Take also the thickness of the glass.

Reservoirs So Great ... Juggling Home Riveting!

Unused reservoir looks like a drum made of concrete. Reservoirs that have not been used for five years, when the couple bought it from South West Water in 2008. Water company has sold permits to build a 300,000 pound sterlling opening price.
Many people have mocked the steps taken by the couple. However, Robert would say, that the difficulties of running a project that attracts attention.
"I have spent years to build a house, and it was very boring," he said.
"This project has many interesting aspects. How do you deal with the height issue? What about lighting? How to open a shape of a drum? It's really exciting," he added.
At the time of "checking" the former location of the reservoir, the Hardy family has been selling "barn" near Helston, Cornwall $ 300,000 sterlling pounds. They then lived in a caravan in a quiet area of ​​Sidmouth.
The couple get a little profit by selling their Cornish home. In 2000, they bought the house for 100,000 pounds and spent 150,000 pounds sterlling sterlling for the renovation process.
"We're not doing this project as an investor to focus on profitability., But we think, financially it makes sense," said Hardy.
"The market in the southwestern and Sidmouth growing into the main area. Region is known as the second home area," he added.
However, the moment when the couple is ready to move, their dream shaken by the financial crisis of 2008. With a bank loan, the couple had to haggle every penny so that in the end they get 800,000 pounds sterlling. This amount is needed to finance the renovation of the former dam.
In addition to financial problems, the building itself is facing security problems. Work on the building began in March 2008. Peat removed from the dome. It had to be done one at a time by hand.
Robert Hardy doubt the power dome, if the peat is removed by using a digger. Furthermore, welders must go down to the bottom of reservoirs and dealing with concrete drum. They only provided illumination of the lamp 110 volt power. The task they set the house of the steel frame.
One more hurdle for them, the smoke generated in this reservoir. They can only work for three hours at a time.
However, even at the face of these obstacles, for Mrs Hardy, it's so mean to her. Because of that, he is always seen with optimism.
After three years, artificial turf finally mounted on the roof of this unique home. Peat makes it "blend" with the surrounding countryside.
Unfortunately, this visionary couples can not enjoy the work that is now called "The Reservoir" that they want. In June last year, Robert Hardy fell off a ladder at work and was rushed to the hospital due to subdural hematoma or blood clot between the skull and brain.
Furthermore, doctors told Robert cut his workload for the next three years, so the couple has decided to downsize and live off the profits to recover fully. Now, the former reservoir sterlling appreciated 1.25 million pounds or more than Rp 18 billion

Creative and Beautiful with Frame Gypsum

Many methods are used to give added value of aesthetics in the interior parts of the dwelling in order to look beautiful and attractive. Creative use of the framework such as the ceiling or gypsum ceiling, for example.

Creativity support order was quite appropriate because gypsum has a variety of types and models that can be tailored to the desires of the building. This is because gypsum can be printed with free designs, depending on the motif you want to use and consumer tastes, from motives circle or straight, and others.

There are two ways of mounting the framework of gypsum are known at this time, by using wood and hollow steel. Special order gypsum with wood, wood is the first step performed when the installation is planed to be flat. You do not need to worry, because the actual cost of installation of gypsum with wood frame and hollow steel is almost the same. Prices will differ if the wood used in the form of old wood, so the price of wood can be suppressed.

For the excess, the framework can be crushed gypsum with wood tops or wooden frame. This is useful when you or a handyman will install electrical installations. While the gypsum with a hollow steel frame, the excess is located on the installation of speed, more precision, and antirayap.

Indeed, compared to other order types, the advantages of using the framework of gypsum is as flat as a result without a connection. This condition is much different when using the framework of the ceiling made of plywood or GRC meterial, because the connection will be obvious when the installation is the age of 6 months or more. At the beginning of the installation of plywood would look flat, but actually plywood and GRC material is difficult to perfectly jointed as in gypsum.

Framework of gypsum is also easily repaired or renovated in the event of damage to certain parts. On gypsum, only the damaged section only needs to be fixed, rather than the whole.

Gypsum is made of soft, white powder known as casting are vulnerable to water. However, the
precisely the limitations of gypsum to the water that is excess of gypsum. Because, you can immediately know that there are no leaks in the roof of a building or a house without waiting for a long time.

Any material when exposed to water leaks it could lead to damp and then cause mold or corrosion, for example in iron. The problem is, how extensive the damage is and how quickly it identified?

On gypsum, water seepage from leaking easily identified. Within a maximum of 1 X 24 hours will be immediately apparent leaking of the former so you can anticipate the source of the leaking and then make improvements on gipsumnya faster than other materials.

For that, first of all, you must first find the source of the leaking and overcome. This is to prevent leaks and re-expanding the level of the leak.

Having been exposed to the fungus, for example, inevitably, the gypsum mold it must be replaced, not enough to be painted. Because the fungus will spread if it's damp and moldy area is not immediately removed. The trick, cut or unloading line to follow the shape of the mushroom or mushrooms used. Next, change the appropriate size of the gypsum is unloaded.

At that point, you can do the painting process and has been safe from the dangers of mold which could also affect the health and family.

Healthy occupancy? Take advantage of Natural and Artificial Lighting!

Living in a tropical region provides many advantages for occupancy. Utilizing the optimal exposure to sunlight can make a healthy occupancy. Through lighting, you can set the incoming sunlight into the house. The more light a room, it will feel more spacious than a dark room. Residential light also prevent moisture, a situation in which the moss and mold growing.

To get optimal lighting, make use of two kinds, namely the natural lighting and artificial lighting. Natural light comes from sunlight or daylight sky from morning to evening ahead. In addition to doors and windows, natural light entering into the dwelling can be done by installing a skylight like a glass window in the roof.

Alternatively, to create an opening glass window with an area of at least one-ninth of the wall. Can also create a vent above the door and windows. In addition to the air stream may also include sunlight. In essence, the wider and increasingly transparent meal will increase natural light into the room.

Meanwhile, the use of artificial lighting devices or man-made technology. An example is the light. In order not to cause visual impairment, the placement must be given the intensity of the light source fixed, evenly, not dazzling, not blinking, causing a shadow, and good for the eyes.

Lamp itself diverse species, there are lights that illuminate the whole room was absolute, the lights are local, and lights for aesthetics. This type of customized installation space requirements and room impression.
