Criado Indomable Home

“House of Bamboo”. Such homes are often referred to as elements of bamboo as a decorative element but also as the main material in the structure of the building. Bamboo has strength and high elasticity so that it can be used as a wood substitute building materials and steel.

Building Mass Concept

Planning and design of this house came from the concept of family and number of family members. Building mass is divided into three areas. The first area is the East building mass to area parents, is private. The second area is a bale-bale in the middle of the bamboo open land for common areas, are public. The third area is the western building mass to area children, are semiprivate. The concept of the physical form and layout of the mass of the building itself is adjusted by the presence of clove trees which 9 were in the land before the start of the construction process. This is what led to the emergence of the concept of lean construction. Namely, the mass of the building is made with a modular system with a column spacing of 3.5 to 4 meters are placed among the clove trees that flourished and is still productive.

East side building mass and the West side building mass have their own stand. All sleeping rooms are on the top floor of each building mass to privacy more secure. The ground floor consists of guest rooms, dining room and pantry, large kitchen. To the ground floor, two buildings connected by a mass-bale bale open bamboo which is the center of this house. Bale-bale is large enough that 50 m2 and designed without walls and doors that open freely to the front facing the house and into the back of the house. The bamboo Bale-bale and bamboo bridges are using bamboo sticks as a floor intact. The block using bolts techniques.

For the top floor, two masses connected by a bridge structure is also designed bamboo open. The bridge is just above the bale-bale of bamboo that also functions as a roof for the bale-bale. The bridge is expected to be given a roof to cover the tent structure. This open space designed to be interwoven relationships and harmony between the inner and outer space.

Finally we can see the desire designer and owner of this house who tried to apply the concept of green architecture through the concept of recycling, respect for the existing presence of clove trees, use of bamboo material in innovative way and combining with the use of secondhand materials has produced a work of architecture and environmentally friendly deserve our appreciation.
