According to the type of wood, then there are two methods of installation.

a. Hardwood floors
we recommend for this type of wood flooring installation is done before the building is completed. That’s because this type of wood floor needs work “extra”, which often causes “work environment” became dirty.

Before the wood floor installed, then the base must be given first and then polished putty, and to flatten the new connection must be provided with floor protectors (coating).

b. Softwood floor

You can follow the practical steps that can be used as a guide to do renovations. True, buying a house from the developer is different from building their own. In addition to inner satisfaction factors, build your own home makes us more flexibility to determine the room we want the need for a larger renovation if buying a house from the developer. Then, what if doing renovations? How to do, and when the right time to do it? Reasons for Renovation:

1. Expand: This means that residents have increased so that additional space. Able to the side because there are remaining land / yard or up because of limited land. Even more difficult is up, because the floor beneath inevitably be disrupted and there are parts of damaged buildings, the difference with renovations to the side that does not interfere with relatively residents.

2. Repair: Is expensive but does not provide a new atmosphere, for example a house hit by termites. The position of the house remained, just replace the parts eaten.

3. Changing atmosphere: For example, from the Mediterranean to switch to a minimalist.
Special renovations made to the above, there are several ways to do apart to cast new floor. Include:
a. Ceramic concrete (palace). Concrete forms such as bricks, live longer manufactured in accordance with the landscape. Practically do not use the framework of the building.

b. Balok wood. Quite popular, fast workmanship, the house more homy and warm, the price is more expensive and still have risk of termites.

c. GRC. Cement-based, like gypsum, put it almost equal to the ceiling.

d. Conventional cast concrete plates. This is the most popular. Conducted simultaneously, so all the cast hit the floor flat. If renovations many, indeed performed better casting. In addition to safety, seismic and landslides. But if it rains hard, practical furniture downstairs wet. When the renovation is only one room, you should choose 3 ways said.

4. Search Ideas
Another thing that needs to be taken into account is who is doing renovations, Choice can by interior designers, structural designers, ME (master of electricity, water), and expert facade. Just wear a simple renovation architect because architects have studied the structure and the ME. Now, a new implementation performed by contractors, architects and building, and the foreman.

If funds become constraints, service architect may be removed. Instead, look for lots of ideas from interior magazines, internet, or the tabloids. Then, select a good contractor who can calculate the structure as well. Electricity business could be, really be yourself.
Fully devolved to the foreman remodeling business is not recommended. Usually, the knowledge could be because the foreman is a regular will be trouble if the foreman in charge of the renovation has not been built. In other words, he could not provide solutions. Not to mention the lack of ability to calculate the foreman in charge. As a result, when asked, could not explain for what purposes. If forced to use a supervisor, should be for small-scale renovation only.

Narrow house you do not be confused. The concept of urban homes may deal with limited land to create residential stay comfortable, even can be customized to the owner’s condition. There is limited land and high land prices in urban areas would provide little choice for the city to be able to have residential dreams. Land is limited to the ideals and hopes for significant spaces are spacious and comfortable in the shelter was impossible to achieve.

However, calm down. Such constraints can be solved with the right design concept. Houses that will be discussed this time is a reflection of urban housing conditions (urban). If the land is owned limited and the need for space was not balanced with the existing land area. Thus, the concept adopted is “vertical development” where residential development is done by increasing the number of vertical building floor.

If you are still status “single”, but with a land area measuring 4 m X 15 m, the desired house will also be able to accommodate as a small family dwelling. To accommodate this, the function of each room is designed to be multifunctional, where space is at this moment can change function in accordance with the needs in the future.

Private and Service Areas
Ground floor functioned as a public area, which consists of the pantry and living room are limited by the pond as an area for natural air into the room. The concept of space on the ground floor was left open without any partition or wall so that space with another one together and feel more spacious.
The top floor served as private and service areas. Area consists of private bedroom and study. Study area is multifunctional, which at the time homeowners later married and have families, so this space will serve as a child’s room. And at the time of the study changed the functions into the bedroom, study area can be moved into the corridor.

Furthermore, service area consists of drying area (clothing) and the warehouse. Warehouse space to the front can be served as a maid’s bedroom. External appearance of buildings in the design as simple as possible with the finishing materials to minimize exposure to the development fund, also with minimal maintenance costs.

Interior of the building is also designed to utilize the remaining construction materials, like bamboo for the buffer (Steger) which is used as a finishing wall, as well as a room accent. While the ceiling of the room on the ground floor is designed without plafond with nothing concrete to expose on the floor above, Finishing the walls and floors in several rooms also left natural, with color as a medium made to provide harmonization in each space.

The presence in the house patio can help create air circulation and can provide a supply of fresh air on the inside of the house. With 3×4 m2 of land, is enough to make the patio / garden to dry.
