Urban Garden

Urban Garden - Nowadays more and more demand for urban consumers in the home but not comparable with the existing soil. The longer the soil is getting cramped and expensive. As a solution, developed the concept of the house is no longer horizontal, but is more oriented to the vertical direction. Therefore, the concept of green buildings that complement the house and no longer relies on horizontal pages are available, but tend to be in a vertical plane parallel horizontal balconies including a roof that has not been used for reforestation.

If you have a two-storey dwelling house with an area of ​​300 m2, you can make the area "green" is not just on the front page, but also on most of the vertical plane facade building, on the roof of the balcony and on the roof of the pavilion building. Living wall concept is also applied to the rear garden and the area of ​​the wall on the second floor which serves as a barrier your land.

This idea originated from the green area owner wants every room in the house is oriented toward the park. Given the narrowness of the pages available for the park, the desire was realized by the designer using the concept of living wall and roof garden.

For the living wall, designers using fabricated modules are mounted on a metal frame attached to the L wall structure. Each module measures 40 cm x 40 cm and contains some point holes for planting and growing medium using conventional systems. Watering is done with semi-automatic irrigation system. With the condition do not receive direct sunlight, then the selected type of shade resistant plants such as Philodendron species, Scindapsus with accent colors of several Bromeliaceae species.

On the roof garden for a balcony, used fabricated modular structures are specifically used for drainage. Advantage of this material is easily applied with interlocking system, has strong durability and light weight so it does not add to the burden of the roof. Layer of soil that is used on the roof lining is only as thick as 20 cm only but a few plants that have the potential to grow as large as the palm and frangipani circumvented by raising the surface so it looks graded.

For access to the inside, through the door that connected with the winding pathway between the composition of the plant that made circular surround the Park and given a branching path as an alternative. This line was developed by the designer in order to get a "sensation" the adventurous not just give priority to purely visual beauty.

When passing through a door, we will find a gazebo with arched gate opening towards the inside garden is private. The building of a wooden roof shingles with a coconut is complemented by tree Erythrina Variegata plant heterogeneous red and green.
