This is a vacation home concept designed by Pacific Environments Architecture located in Matakana, New Zeland. Although only 3 images displayed by the architect, but I’m sure you can guess the interior design of this house.

Description from the architects :

The Matakana Bach is located on a prominent headland location that offers unsurpassed gulf and harbour views to Kawau Island and beyond. The brief was to design a contemporary and minimal bach (small weekend or vacation house) for weekend use that took advantage of the extensive views and provided a backdrop for a relaxed lifestyle. The result was 2 pavilions (living and sleeping) constructed from concrete, steel and glass.

Visitors navigate through the Pohutakawa grove, past water features and over stepping stones to arrive at the front door and entry foyer which leads into the communal area of the ‘Sleeping’ pavilion. This pavilion concept is based around ‘tent’s and a ‘campfire’ with the bedrooms opening up to a sunken communal space with fireplace. Large sliding doors open this space to the grassed lawn. The 3m stud ‘Living’ pavilion includes kitchen, office and lounge areas that flow onto large deck and a bbq and rockery spa pool area covered by a large cantilevered roof punctured with circular apertures. Large sliding double glazed doors open the living pavilion to connect with the stunning environment.

Exotic and friendly environment. That’s the thing that obtained by using bamboo as a material for the floor at home. Typical texture of bamboo to make floor becomes unique. Color choices were varied to match other interior colors  and bamboo of flooringit is always fresh. In addition, the installation of bamboo flooring is similar to the installation of flooring materials that are commonly used, such as wood. The cost is also relatively affordable and do not need any special treatment.

Bamboo can survive within four to six years. Bamboo is more resistant damp because the pores shut. Termites are also less like bamboo. In addition, bamboo flooring harder than most wood. Hardness can resist pressures up to 2 tons. Maintenance is not much different from the floor in general. Only, from the bamboo flooring should be swept using a broom made ​​of nylon because ordinary broom is too coarse. Here are tips if you are using bamboo flooring:

1. Do not use the right shoe on the bamboo floor.

2. Do not let cats or other pets scratching the floor.

3. Avoid cleaning fluids that can cause damage or slippery floors.

4. When moving heavy furniture, do not be dragged, but appointed, and

5. Do not use hard brush to clean.

The use of bamboo is also considered more environmentally friendly than wood. Bamboo has the ability to grow that fast, a species can grow 60 centimeters in one day. Compare with wood that needs time to grow much longer. Hopefully useful for you.

In addition to the beauty, health is also an important aspect to consider in building a house. A healthy house meet several criteria, including good air circulation, the room has enough natural light, the room layout that facilitates the movement of residents to move, until the availability of field greens.

Here I will share tips on healthy house arrangement, with an emphasis on natural lighting and air circulation:

The lighting

The lighting in the room should be derived from sunlight-healthy addition to energy saving. To that end, every room should have a window glass that is connected to the outside of the house.

Determination of the extent and location of the window, must be adapted to the direction of the sun. Direct sunlight from the west will make the room very hot. Use the window canopy to shade windows from direct sunlight and keep the window from splashing water when it rains.

If one room is not possible to install windows, you can use other elements, such as voids, skylight (glass tile roofs), or the use of Polycarbonate material on the roof of the garage. The use of partition walls made of glass (glass block) can also help lighting, as well as ornaments.

Air circulation

The room adjacent to the outer wall of the house can use the vents for air flow, while for a room that position in the middle of the building can use the catcher channel the wind.

In addition to conventional forms of windows, you can also create a window bouvenlicht. This window consists of two separate glass blades that have a gap between them, which allows the exchange of air. Bouvenlicht generally installed in the bathroom.

In addition, the vents are shaped holes of the wind with a horizontal arrangement on the wall. Methods to make ventilation holes also vary by making a hole walls, wood frame with horizontal lattice direction, or use the tap of concrete, metal, aluminum or wood.

Best system for designing natural air circulation is cross ventilation (cross ventilation). In this system, air circulation is arranged in such a way to be able to flow from one point to point air vent air ventilation other, and vice versa. With the difference in pressure inside and outside the building, then the flow of air is not trapped in the house, so the house free from the stuffy and hot.

Very easy is right.? make your house a healthy house for family shelter.
