woow..Japanese House in the Forest

Here is a neat little structure rendered by Israel based designers Ando Studio for TNA Architecture. The house set in a forest environment looks like the perfect kind of place to move in if you are planning to escape the noisy city life. We at Home Designing are big fans of these type of houses which should be pretty evident from the sheer number of such homes wehave featured here in the past.

Earthquake Resistant Buildings

The usual technology developed by various parties as a solution toquickly build a house, usually made ​​of simple construction with akind of lightweight construction materials and structural roof and wallcoverings are lightweight as well. Support structure quickly build a simple house can be made of iron frame, wood, or bamboo. In principle, the design can maintain structural rigidity as well as having the flexibility to move with the earthquake, as well asmaintaining the roof and wall coverings in place with little damage.Below are some practical guidelines leaflet earthquake-resistantconstruction of wooden houses made ​​by the Department of Public Works.

Conventional building technologies brick building with reinforced concrete structures
The concept of earthquake-resistant housing is a building that can withstand the vibration caused by the collapse of the earthquake,and has the flexibility to dampen vibration. Principle, there are basically two: the rigidity of structure and flexibility of damping.
Rigidity principle structure makes the house more solid structure to shocks. Proved, that such a rigid structure made ​​of reinforced concrete when properly can reduce fine tremor. This means takingseriously the structures made during the construction to be strongerand more rigid. Stiffness of the structure to avoid the possibility of building collapse during an earthquake occurs. The columns andbeams have to be strong binders and supported by a goodfoundation as well.
Flexibility Principle: The possibility of building structures to move on a small scale, for example by using a roll on the foundationprinciples of relationship-support burden. The definition ofrelationship is the kind of relationship pedestal roll load that can beengaged in small scale to dampen vibration. This is one example.
The principle of the use of lightweight materials and 'springy': theuse of lightweight construction materials that are not moredangerous when it collapsed, and the more light that is notexcessively burdensome to the existing structure. For examplewooden structure that can accept the transfer of timber in the relationship between scale earthquake.
The principle of the separate masses: that is split in several parts of building structures that are smaller, so the structure is not too big,too long because when hit by the earthquake have greater vibration damping.

character of a quiet Japanese-style interior

also has amodern twist. The walls are covered with traditional white plaster.The house covers an area of ​​692.63 square kilometers andincludes the actual building 87.73sq. The house is very beautiful andhas a large glass walls from floor to ceiling that allows panoramicviews of the surrounding. Home with the perfect combinationbetween tradition and modernity. The house is rather small but veryinviting and comfortable.

Japanese interior

Minimalist Japanese homes and Character

BUILDING Japanese architectural style characterized by simplicity and natural thickness. The design is deliberately designed initially for earthquake resistant houses and the weather could be adapted to the style of your home.

Japanese architecture contains Zen philosophy, which contains the character. So, no wonder multifunctional aspects of efficiency and space becomes an important element for creating a quiet and simple.

Japanese-style interior is likely minimal. However, sometimes people do not really know how minimalist. "Because there is actually a modern-minimalist and traditional, minimalist," says interior designer Rohadi.

The definition of modern-minimalist recognition of shape and materials of the existing furniture in the room. According to Rohadi, Japanese furniture forms are very simple and the boxes just as characteristic of minimalist furniture. Another case in which a lot of minimalist traditional furniture made of wood, but still not too much detail.

"In addition, many use modern minimalist furniture made of stainless steel or aluminum which gives the impression of hi-tech," said Rohadi, which is listed as a member of Indonesian Society of Interior Designers (HDII).

In a Japanese house is very strong going aura of simplicity, was not much about the furniture is placed, and deliberately designed built-ins. Selection of furniture over the function, rather than as a display. Form of a cube or even dominate the geometry of the box furniture, ornaments, ornament display wall.

One characteristic of Japanese-style dwelling is paved with tatami floor. Tatami is a kind of carpet or rather a thick mat made of woven straw. Usually placed in the dining room Lesbian Japanese style.

In Japan, houses are designed to suit the climate and culture there. "In earthquake-prone countries like Japan, most homes are built nonpermanen, so wood and paper into the main material of the Japanese house," said architect Ovi Mulyono of PT Viosa Nahura Mighty.
