Designing Flood Resistant House

Try not to build houses in flood prone areas. Therefore, you must identify the ecological system around your residential area. Design a building foundation that is located higher, at least 40 to 50 cm above the street front of your home.

Height of the house was easy to distinguish if your home is still in its early stages of development. However, what would happen if the house was designed without any preparation for flooding.

Raise the height of the floor so the final solution, but the calculated distance of the ceiling. Try not to get too close to the head of adult males. Raised interior floor has different consequences entrance height so that inevitably you have to make small steps. Or it could also elevate the house starting from the front area of the fence. However, this alternative is more costly due to the additional height is comprehensive. In other words, the garden landscape will change completely.

Another way is much easier and efficient, which is making its blockade on the terrace. This should be a last resort or for the prevention of emergency (temporary) alone. Because tricks like this have less aesthetic value, the beauty of the facade will be reduced and look strange.

The next trick is more aesthetic, namely by making ornamental pond in front garden. However, this one trick that can only cope with minor flooding. Try to make the pond deeper and more spacious so it can accommodate the overflow of water. The risks, you should bother moving your ornamental fish when floods come.

However, what may be created if the flooding had become unwanted guests in your home. Therefore, the houses were built as high as anything, it still floods will disrupt your convenience.

One of the plants is very important when the rainy season is the bamboo plant. Bamboo tree can absorb water in large quantities so it can function as a buffer (anchoring). Just imagine, a bamboo rod with a diameter of about three millimeters can grow three feet in the next 24 hours, but the bamboo grown.

If your house is already flooded and there are parts of a damaged house, you do not hesitate to consult with contractors. Besides, you still have to consult with contractors associated with the renovation would be done.

Compared to the work itself is time consuming and costs more, the contractor would know more about the technical aspects and details.

Small garden Under the Stairs

Under the stairs area during this often utilized as toilet or storeroom. In fact, pretty little park could adorn this area. Like what form?

Park under the stairs could be one alternative that sniper when the house was very limited land. Especially if the toilet and warehouse space you have, the park could be a good choice.

Type the park very much. Start an indoor garden, outdoor, dry, wet, and so forth. Park under the stairs can be categorized as an indoor garden or an outdoor garden as well. Depending on the ladder is positioned where, inside the house, or outside the house building. Most people hesitate to make the park under the stairs. In addition to the narrow and cramped spaces, often less sunlight reached the area under the stairs. As a consequence, so damp and affect the growth of the plant itself.

The most common obstacles faced when creating a garden under the stairs is limited sunlight, but it can actually be solved easily, provided you know how.

Actually designing the park under the stairs is not difficult. Staying find out what plants need, then adjust the condition, the owner, that’s the key.

What is meant by the plant needs is light, water, soil, and fertilizer. Likewise with the room temperature.

While the state is the condition an owner is how the shape of the room, good light, the habit of treating (intense or not), and position / location of stairs, whether seen from a place that is often used as a means of family or guests who gathered to see the living room.

If later you choose a dry garden, which could be a reference design is a park with an array of coral. The composition of coral is very suitable to the crops potpotan. In addition to requiring no soil media, the coral will absorb waste water from the pot.

Another trick is to use a water element. If your house is very low humidity, while you want to park in the dry bottom of the stairs, can be tricked by making a small pond.

Magnitude of the pond is highly dependent on the existing space. Do not be too big or too small. Origin proportional course, also the composition with the plant. Do not let the greatness of the pond, the plants just a little, so the park is no longer under the stairs, but the pool under the stairs.
