Friday, December 3rd, 2010 by admin # Homedesign
WHEN designing a house, certainly not the only theme or concept you think. Planning for comfortable and healthy home was supposed to be the main thing. Especially when you design voiddi in the house. The role of voids in the house is so important. Its function is not only a residential look roomy, but useful as well as air circulation and good light in the house.
In connection with this, the void could be the right solution for inviting light and air into your home.
According to architect Briyan Talaosa, void is a hole that forms or deliberately created in the interior of buildings with a variety of reasons. Among these, the first because he wanted to create a broad impression of a room. Second, wanted to create air pockets or air flow to keep the room comfortable. Or other reasons, relating to creating the impression of a certain height in the room. It could also give the impression of wanting to continue or extend the view distance from the bottom up.
Furthermore Briyan said, is usually void function (in most small-scale) formed in the area of the stairs. Because usually on the stairs should be free for increased flow of people do not collide. Thus, its location is usually located on top of or above the staircase landing overall.
The same architect said Wisnu Brata. According to him, the void is a blank space or empty area or open space that cuts continuity of a space between the two areas.
“However, in general terms used to describe the void with no floor space located on the 2nd floor where through space we can see the space underneath, but still under the same roof,” said Vishnu.
In designing the void is good and right, there are some things you need to consider, among others, the size and spacious home. According to Vishnu, the amount of voids that are made should be adapted to the area of the existing house. So, if the size of the house is not big, nor should the size of large voids. More than that, consider also the space that will be located under the void so that the laying and setting a fine.
“In principle at all the houses can be made void. Whether small or big house. Only, all depend cleverness homeowners in the process. No matter how small the land, usually at least a small family needs must be met, from the primary spaces until the service area, “said Briyan.
For that, go Briyan, consider the space needs. Usually the void created or created if it already met the basic needs of the room. Or it could be said to be made void the remaining space.
The second thing to note is that structures and construction. Briyan reveal, in principle, make the structure similar to the design and construction of another space, which is only a blank floor. However, usually concrete beam around the void of his binder must be strengthened.
“Another alternative could be enlarged or enhanced by the quality of concrete or enhanced pembesiannya. Usually the legs (foundation) also strengthened, “said Briyan.
In addition, note also the use of floor beams and buildings. Vishnu advised, should avoid the use of hanging beams with overstek that are too big. Whenever possible, he added, ask for help from an expert or an architect for the structure obtained using the structure and construction of safe, yet efficient in cost and quality of the resulting space to be good.
As for determining the void hole, usually a minimum amount proportional to the module structure column. However, it could also use two or more modules. “With the record, if you have enough land area,” said Briyan.
To reach the ideal point, you can try looking from the top and could see from below as well. Usually a person’s point of view it 45 degrees. The best position in a void space is the highest share of the most heat. However, it can not be used as a benchmark. Because, in the application, usually all depends on other aspects in the field.
Through the void, air will continue to flow balanced between the air coming out of the house and exchanged with new air. The trick does not need direct from the top of the void. Air Flow you can create from the window openings of the spaces that intersect with the void.
It is no less important to note is keamanan.Sebab factor, according to Briyan, each have openings, the tendency to approach it ourselves or want to see it is definitely there. That is, if you’re on top, usually to see the activities below you will try mepet void.Untuk or near, the presence there as a safety voidpada railingmutlak upstairs.
Railing materials that can be used quite diverse, from glass, metal, concrete walls, to wood. Or for another alternative, maybe you could try to combine a variety of materials.
“Selecting the railing should not be in that pattern was horizontal, especially if you have small children,” advises Vishnu.
