The house at Upper Falls

With the aim to blend with the natural world, people are trying to seek shelter in the area of ​​forest edge or 
mountain areas.

As seen in the picture, the house is quite beautiful form of design is shot in the middle of lush forest and just above the waterfall. The main characteristic of this contemporary-style house is a terrace upstairs to avoid the use of pillars, so it looks like a float.

Circumstances which do not differ also occur on the ceiling above, where the piece is not using the roof, but it uses a cast made of concrete. The impression arises from the cold and cool beige color used on the facade.

Meanwhile, on the back of the building there is another smaller and narrower, but has a higher size. The walls using natural stone whose color is in harmony with other stones around the waterfall. The purpose of the use of stone is of course to bring a more natural and genuine.

Which makes the back of this building unique is the use of glass facade Riben combined with colored wood as a frame or skeleton cokat. Besides the size of the walls are thicker than other walls using bricks. This resulted in the form of a small building that looks more and more narrow.

The same was done on the wall that stands beside the bottom, right in front of the rear building. Such concepts in addition to making the space look more narrow also make it more dark and cold atmosphere. But it is so the main goal of making the building of this house who want to present the impression that a very natural and blend with nature.

The most difficult job in building this house is to make its construction. Because in the rocky soil, would require construction of a distinctive technique that can be entered and firmly embedded.

Moreover, the shape sloping land used and there are some sections (especially the top floor terrace) that do not use the pillars. In order to gain the strength to withstand the load, then in addition to a planted in a vertical construction, also need to make a construction which is input horizontally on the cliff or sloping land. This is a very complicated and it takes skill and technique of its own.

Another issue that emerged from this building is, being in locations that were hutam lush and slightly protrudes into the space, natural light from the sun's rays can not enter the maximum. This will lead to wastage in the use of electrical energy to power the lights.

However, the house was still able to bring up a very sensational atmosphere. When sitting on the porch downstairs, we will meet directly with the flow of water and then plunge down right in front of the porch.

Gurgling sound of water continues to flow and plunge into the endless streams will remedy the hearts and minds, especially for those who their like the atmosphere a very quiet and silent. Similarly, the fresh air that is useful for healthy lungs and our bodies, is more easily obtained at a distance from the pollution level is high.

But unfortunately the house as this is usually far from human habitation, so that when an emergent need something it will bring its own problems. So the conclusion is more suitable home is used as a retreat or a vacation, not to the family residence.
