Bottle Houses Bandung Mayor Ridwan Kamil

Modern home is the result of the exploration of the mass, structure and proportion, supported by innovative design also advanced technology, all focused in order to obtain the creation of a new brand. By exploring creative ideas, this house features wrap aesthetic and functional design. Ridwan Kamil, the designer is also the owner has successfully designed a modern house in the land trapezoidal structure and a floating element.The main building is U-shaped, thus making the interior layout is separated. Ridwan composed room between the rooms, opening one to the other through a transparent and domination play grill in the interior line. Each of the rooms connect to one another with a space next to the next. For example, the front parlor directly connected to the living room, but separated by a difference floor.For the interior, Ridwan Kamil make the place as comfortable as possible. For the living room, he put the Arne Jacobsen Egg chair in a contrasting color red to the room so that makes this so interesting. A red lazy lounge in the courtyard will be the focal point in place (you can see the concrete structure that encloses the recliner red). Maybe you get inspiration about the modern home. There is minimal use of paint. As a substitute, there are textured materials such as natural stone, wallpaper, wood paneling, iron grill, and few materials that meet the board interior. I like the idea to decorate a modern bathroom in red. With the addition of natural stone for packaging floor, glazed tile in shades of this place to be more attractive and eye catching.

Ridwan Kamil Indonesia is a young architect of international reputation. Big name and his works became the inspiration for many other young architects in Indonesia. In addition to a busy work as an architect, Ridwan Kamil also be initiators and Director of Bandung Creative City Forum. One of the architectural masterpiece Ridwan Kamil is their home itself.
Located in the cool temperate city, Bandung, Indonesia, the architect who is familiarly called as Emil builds his house out of 30,000 glass bottles former energy drinks. Emil chose a bottle of this famous brand energy drinks because he thinks the bottle is not recovered by the owner of the industry to be refilled, as is usually done by soft drink bottles that are circulating on the market. Emil collect tens of thousands of used glass bottles it for 2 years! It shows the commitment that is very high on design concepts and ideas to reduce waste in the city at the same time.
"I was annoyed when my hometown, Bandung, Bandung Lautan once dubbed the Trash," he said in an opportunity to address a TEDx, independent TED event held in Jakarta in July 2010. Besides the idea of ​​using brown glass bottle also comes from his habit of attention to the workers who frequently consume these beverages. "The brown color of the glass are also in harmony with the color of the wood," he said as quoted from HomeDezign.com.
In addition to the bottle to mix and match the design of the house with wood, Emil arrangement also incorporates a bottle with glass block in some parts. In order to minimize the use of paint on the outside of the building, the architect also let some of the concrete is exposed and display the natural color of concrete. Accentuating the contrast obtained from the use of furniture and other interior elements in the interior of the house.
His hard work was not in vain, in 2009 Emil Green Design Award 2009 awarded by BCI Asia, beating at least 80 other participants from 8 countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Hong Kong and China. The house that stood on the land trapezoid-shaped area of ​​373 square meters is feasible labeled green is not just because it is built of waste glass bottles locally, but also because of the nature of glass opaque allow incoming sunlight during the day to make this building is able to save on the use of light bulbs at noon.

Unique buildings are Made of Unique Material

The residence is an urgent need in addition to clothing, as to have a place to shelter at least be able to protect people from exposure to the weather that is currently difficult to predict. But to get a place to stay was not easy, especially with the price of building materials are expensive. But the man who has a sense, creative and innovative always discount the way to overcome these problems. Here we summarize the five buildings are made of a unique material:
1. Home Plastic Bottles

Recycle materials that can not be decomposed naturally now intensively conducted by lovers and environmentalists, in addition to being an alternative material also can prevent further damage to the ecology. Being alternative materials because it is cheap and easy to obtain, such as beverage bottles. As in Taiwan, there is an exhibition space that the building materials made from the composition of bottles.
While in third world countries, some people must have shelter made of metallic materials were rusted and it was not healthy. While using the arrangement of bottles (already cleaned) indoor air can circulate quickly, and incoming light can be set, especially, the bright lights of sunlight coming through colorful bottles.

2. Home Used Tires

Millions of vehicle tires made of rubber disposed of each year, is burned or recycled. But there is also using old tires as a base material to make a home. Tires are arranged in such a way that has the strength and toughness, so it is good to be used as a wall of the house. And the rubber is a material that quickly absorbs heat, hot and cold, so that the air in the room houses the tire will be stabilized. And for those who do not like the color or smell, the wall can be coated by the wall paper or other plaster.

3. Buddhist Temple Of Beer Bottles

The latter is different from the second list above because it is a building which used to crowds and worship. Wat Pa Maha Chedi there is a Buddhist temple in Thailand, but that makes it unique is the mosaic walls are made of the composition of a beer bottle. In addition to making a mosaic, this bottle wall may at any time give a beautiful light in the temple. The monks who built this temple hopes that more people can take advantage of second-hand goods that are still useful. Especially of goods they buy as bottled drinks and so on.
