Make the attic as a room
Friday, September 3rd, 2010 by admin # Homedesign
A LOT of ways to apply the attic. The attic can be designed
as a space or storage. However, both functions require special attention in its application.
The attic is the top level of a building. Usually use to refer to the attic just atas.Namun attic level which will be discussed this time are contained in the attic of a house, a space below the roof. Usually, the attic can be found at the house that designs a triangular roof.
According to the function, the attic can be divided into two, namely as a useful attic space and attic for storage. Attic space that serves as the pattern is usually from early planning to build a house, the occupants have been deliberately provide.
However, there is no possibility of making the attic, because the owner needs rumahyang thus increasing the need for additional space. Instead, consider the construction.
Ary Architect Pratomo states, there are some things that need to be taken to ensure that the attic can function optimally. The first thing that is human proportions. Generally, the height of humans, especially people of Indonesia, reaching 170-180 meters. Meanwhile, for a minimum height of 2 meters attic.
“So, must be considered true measure of its spatial dimensions are also existing residents in it appropriate or not,” he said.
The same architect also said Denny Setiawan. Height of an attic, is usually limited. Therefore, things that need to be considered in addition to relating to human proportions, namely the function.
According to Denny, notice its structure. When the structure was to use the horses, of course, can not be used as attic space. The solution, make the attic as a storage or warehouse. To make the attic as a room, that residents need to consider is the role of air circulation and light.
Therefore, the location of the attic is at the very top, of the space to absorb more heat than a room in the basement. Therefore, the importance of cross Ventilation.
Alternatively, call Denny, block the heat radiation of the sun in order not to go into space. How, could use a fiber that is useful to absorb heat. To the window, according to Denny, actually must be there, just clever-cleverness of the architect in applying it into the attic. Usually, depending on the proportion of its space, can produce how many windows.
“Usually if I, 25% from the field there should be a window wall,” said Denny.
Note also the field conditions. Ary revealed, the space usually consists of four sides of the part. Front side, rear, left, and right space.
For example, a 5×5 meter sized loft, to the left and right of the neighboring building was blocked up, so does the shade tree blocked the back side. While the front side facing the street toward him. Like it or not, who should be chosen to apply the window is the front side.
For light settings, Ari said, if you want to use natural light during the day, then you have to do is to apply a larger window. This relates to the depth of space.
Generally space tergelapnya side occasionally. Therefore, if the window is not consider as maximum, you can apply other options, namely the application of skylights in the space. Skylight serves to increase the light so that no room is too dark.
The trick, use fiber glass or glass tile and place it in the deepest part of space or the darkest. Notice also the dimension of its skylights. Because, skylights dimensions that are only used for one function different from the space used for two functions skylightyang space.
“If the attic is only used for one room, so make skylights that are not too large. Given the limited conditions of the attic. For example, at 5×10 square meters of space, so it made skylights x2 0.2 meters, at the deepest part of space, “said Ary architects who work at this HAPE Anna.
Unlike when the attic space is used for two functions. For example, the first bedroom and second bedroom. Certainly the depth of the existing space in the second bedroom is different from the first. First bedroom will receive much more light than the second bedroom.
Therefore, the residents can apply larger skylights. “Actually, to determine the large-small dimensions depend on the needs of light skylights in the space. If the light is enough, then the dimension does not need large skylights. So did the opposite, “added Ary
