The concept is applied, other than closely related to the residents who will live there, also picked up the theme of ‘sustainable’. This step as well as lessons, so that residents can be aware of the environment.
Materials Safety, Environmental Friendly
This house occupies 250 square meters of land covering a whole complex of the foundation which covers 800 square meters. Buildings one floor area of 150 square meters, consisting of ten rooms each measuring 3×4 meters, and three bathrooms.
House design based on two major principles, namely the principle of material security and environment-friendly principles. Material security must be carefully considered, given some residents are still recovering from emotional factors. Because of that, they need homes that are free of material “vulnerable” shattered like glass, wood or multiplex. Whereas eco-friendly principles were applied, this house aims to increase awareness of residents on the principle of “green” or environmentally friendly.
Referring to the two basic principles, the architect plans to apply the “slender”.

In cooperation with LIPI Bandung, the toilet in this house that implements Bio Ttoilet using dry toilet system. Through this system, water consumption can be suppressed, because it almost does not involve the use of water at all. Struck the high only that, the processing system also enables the remaining fases mingled with wood dust can be used as compost. In addition, in the backyard there are troughs for rainwater harvesting, water that flowed through the gutters. Water flowed to the storage will be used again.
Complementing the concept of sustainability that carried, all materials used, imported from the shops within a radius of building a maximum of two kilometers from the location of the house. Besides saving, this step also sufficiently reduce carbon emissions or pollution from the transportation used.
This house was not spared from an aesthetic touch to the landscape treatment. The front of the building issued a fish pond which serves as a filter dust, lowering the room temperature as well as eliminating the mosquito. While not part of its roof which is projected to grow into two floors, hydroponic crops are used for breeding.
The development process is no less interesting house with a house full of design creativity. Because this house is “only” built by a limited power, one handyman, one assistant carpenters and five children who learn to start from scratch in the process of development. wonder if it is said, the process of design and construction of this house is called as a learning process for former street children. Through creativity, can be given a luxury, convenience at a time of learning for residents of this house. Hharapannya, this house could become a place of creativity for children inhabiting it.
