Hunian Anti/Tahan Banjir

Merancang Hunian Tahan Banjir
BERITA - force-hidup.infogue.com - BANYAK pertimbangan ketika seseorang ingin memiliki rumah. Salah satunya adalah terhindar dari banjir. Walaupun sekarang curah hujan tidak terlalu tinggi, tapi kita harus tetap waspada.

Faktor-faktor seperti cuaca hujan bukan merupakan kasus khusus di Indonesia, karena Indonesia adalah negara tropis dengan tingkat curah hujan tinggi. Terutama di daerah kota-kota besar seperti Jakarta, yang dibagi 13 sungai, adalah pengalaman berpotensi banjir.

Jadi, bagaimana jika Anda tinggal di kota-kota besar seperti Jakarta, yang dikhawatirkan akan banjir setiap tahun? "Aspek perencanaan awal sebuah bangunan peran penting. Perencanaan adalah mutlak dilakukan ketika mereka ingin membangun rumah," kata Raja Simatupang arsitek lansekap. Baginda menyarankan, kami mencoba untuk tidak membangun rumah di daerah rawan banjir.

Oleh karena itu, Anda harus mengenali sistem ekologi sekitar kawasan hunian Anda. "Rancang fondasi bangunan yang lebih tinggi, setidaknya 40-50 cm di atas jalan depan rumah Anda," saran arsitek I Gde Hendra Prasetya.

Membedakan ketinggian rumah adalah mudah jika rumah Anda masih dalam tahap awal pembangunan. Namun, apa yang terjadi jika rumah itu dirancang tanpa persiapan untuk banjir? Menaikkan ketinggian lantai jadi solusi terakhir, tapi dihitung jarak langit-langit. Cobalah untuk tidak terlalu dekat dengan kepala laki-laki, dewasa.

Menaikkan lantai interior pintu masuk memiliki konsekuensi dari ketinggian yang berbeda sehingga Anda mau tak mau harus membuat langkah-langkah kecil. "Atau bisa juga meninggikan rumah dimulai dari area depan pagar," kata Hendra.
Namun, alternatif ini lebih mahal karena penambahan ketinggian dilakukan secara keseluruhan. Dengan kata lain, lanskap taman akan berubah sama sekali.

Cara lain adalah jauh lebih mudah dan efisien dengan membuat blokade di teras. Ini harus menjadi pilihan terakhir atau untuk tanggap darurat (sementara) saja. Karena trik ini kurang nilai estetika, keindahan fasad akan berkurang, dan tampak aneh.

Trik berikutnya yang lebih estetis adalah dengan membuat kolam hias di taman depan. Namun, trik yang satu ini hanya dapat mengatasi banjir cahaya. Cobalah untuk membuat kolam yang lebih dalam dan luas sehingga dapat menampung lebih banyak air melimpah. Risiko, Anda kesulitan memindahkan ikan hias Anda saat banjir datang.

Hendra sendiri menyarankan untuk merenovasi total, menaikkan lantai dengan penambahan ketinggian plafon. Selain rumah tidak terlihat pendek, suhu ruangan masih dingin.

Namun, apa yang bisa saya lakukan jika banjir sudah menjadi tamu tak diundang di hunian Anda. Karena rumah dibangun setinggi apa pun, tetap saja banjir akan mengganggu kenyamanan Anda. Mau tak mau, Anda harus mengakali pemilihan interior dan furniture yang dapat "bekerja sama" dengan Anda agar tetap siap menghadapi musim hujan dan banjir.

Ada beberapa langkah sederhana yang dapat Anda lakukan. "Sederhana solusi adalah untuk menciptakan sebuah sumur tangkapan di arearumah atau sekitar lingkungan Anda," kata Raja.

Hal yang sama juga diungkapkan bahwa Hendra adalah contractorasal umum Bali. Namun, sekali lagi Anda harus memperhatikan lingkungan, apakah tangkapan dapat dibuat dengan baik. "Tapi, jika Anda posisi daerah rumah Anda di bawah jalan, percuma juga," katanya.

Lain yang dapat Anda lakukan adalah untuk menanam tanaman selain rumput. Jadi dalam merancang sebuah rumah, Anda harus meninggalkan daerah hijau untuk resapan air.

Salah satu peran penting tanaman ketika musim hujan adalah tanaman bambu. Pohon bambu dapat menyerap sejumlah besar air yang dapat berfungsi sebagai penyangga (drag). "Coba bayangkan, batang bambu dengan diameter sekitar tiga milimeter bisa tumbuh satu meter dalam 24 jam, tapi bambu tumbuh," jelas Raja.

Jika rumah Anda sudah banjir dan bagian rumah yang rusak, Anda jangan ragu untuk berkonsultasi dengan kontraktor. Setelah semua, Anda masih harus berkonsultasi dengan kontraktor berkaitan dengan renovasi akan dilakukan.

"Dibandingkan dengan pekerjaan mereka sendiri memakan waktu dan biaya lebih, kontraktor akan tahu lebih baik daripada aspek teknis dan detail," kata Hendra. (Koran SI / SI Surat Kabar / tty)

Are You Prepared For Potential Floods?

According to UKCIP (UK Climate impact Programme) 'In the next 25 years, 80,000 homes could be affected by flooding..'

With many homes and their occupants already experienced the devastation flood waters can do to homes, there are some useful tips which may help to lessen the blow should your home be affected this winter.

Always follow instructions given by the emergency services.

Check whether your house is liable to flooding. This may sound rather daft, however, just because you haven't been affected before there is no telling whether you may be in the future, so checking is wise so that you can be prepared for a worst case scenario.

Check weather forecasts and flood alerts to begin moving as many of your possessions as you can upstairs if you live in a two or more storey house. If you live in a ground floor flat or a bungalow ask friends and family to take care of your belongs for you. Many things you may be able to replace, however, treasured photographs and mementos are irreplaceable.

If you have floor length curtains it would be wise to take them down, otherwise they can act in the same way as a wick and soak the water upwards. Replace the curtains with inexpensive aluminium Venetian blinds so that you still have privacy both day and night.

Above all else remember not to take any risks which could endanger your own or others lives.

Home Builders Applaud Congress on Extending Home Buyer Tax Credit

November 5, 2009 - The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) today applauded Congress for passing legislation that will extend and expand the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit, stating that this will provide a much-needed boost to the fragile housing market and economy.

“We commend lawmakers for acting in a bipartisan manner to extend the first-time home buyer tax credit beyond its Nov. 30 deadline and expand it to a wider group of home buyers,” said NAHB Chairman Joe Robson, a home builder from Tulsa, Okla. “The tax credit has proven to be a powerful economic incentive. Today’s action by Congress will further stabilize housing and the economy by creating new jobs, stimulating home sales, reducing foreclosures, cutting excess inventories and stabilizing home prices.”

The new law will extend the $8,000 credit for first-time home buyers for sales contracts entered into by April 30, 2010 and closed by June 30. Further, it has been expanded to include a new $6,500 credit for owners of existing homes who are purchasing a new home as a principal residence. An existing home owner can claim the $6,500 tax credit if they have been residing in their principal residence for five consecutive years out of the last eight. Additionally, the income eligibility limits to claim the full credit amount for both groups of home buyers have been raised to $125,000 for individuals and $225,000 for married couples.

NAHB estimates that the extended and expanded home buyer tax credit will create 211,000 jobs and generate 180,000 additional home sales in the coming year. It is also expected to generate $9.6 billion in wage income and $6.9 billion in federal, state and local taxes.

The legislation, which also extends unemployment insurance benefits and offers relief to cash-strapped firms by providing broader tax benefits for businesses with net operating losses (NOLs), is expected to be signed into law shortly by President Obama.

“The new NOL rules will throw a lifeline to struggling businesses, allowing them to continue making payrolls, paying business loans and otherwise keep their doors open until the economic recovery takes hold,” said Robson.

One of our clients is building an energy efficient home on top of a mountain in southwestern New Hampshire (Jaffrey). The 73-acre property faces east and runs from hilltop to the bottom with a fantastic 180-degree view from Mt. Monadnock due north, to Temple, Kidder, and Barrett Mountains to the east, to Mt. Watatic and even Wachusett to the south.

The home will be situated with the main living areas (living room and master bedroom) facing east and south. The majority of windows is located on these elevations to take advantage of the fantastic views.

Tickled Pink In The Bedroom!

Pink, love or loathe it? Whichever your stance it remains one of the most popular colour schemes for girl's bedrooms! Maybe it associate with Barbie or just because of the stereotypical colour associated with girls!

Throughout the world all shades of pink are used to create 'girlie' bedrooms! It's a timeless classic which can be used in all styles and designs of homes. Typically teamed with white walls and ceilings for a fairy tale princess look for young girls, pink bedrooms can be re-vamped cost effectively for teenage girls by coordinating black for a dramatic statement look or transformed into gorgeous sensuous places when combined with orange, lilac or indigo blues.

Think of the orangey pink glow as the sunsets to create bedrooms which are warm and inviting. Add embroidered or beautifully embellished duvet sets to bring a pink bedroom right up to date in the world of interior design. Add boudoir style cushions, boa feathers along with beaded chandeliers and pink bedrooms can become far more inviting than you may think!

For a spring-time fresh look team fuchsia pink with apple green for an exciting and vibrant appearance which is crisp and clean to liven up a dark and dreary room.

Next time you think 'pink', step outside the stereotypical box and be inspired with a colour which is available in a wide palette of different shades to invigorate your home beautifully.
