Harmony Organizing park

Arranging a garden, is to integrate the work of the supporting elements. Plants as an element of soft material is often referred to as "life" of a park, while hard materials give "character" who confirmed the presence of the park. Soft material and hard material and determine cohesive overall look of the park, so that beautify the outside face of a house.

The Harmony of supporting elements that began in the early planning stages of the park up to the settlement. Planning a soft material was performed after complete hardscape, will not create a good garden, and vice versa. Both these elements must be planned together from the beginning.

Thus expressed by Ir. Faisal Sabirin IALI who designed a residential park located in South Jakarta area. Space outside the physical boundaries of the building and the house became part of the responsibility of a landscape designer. The responsibility starts from the form of the fence, settlement outside the walls, supporting facilities such as swimming pools, to the hardening of the floor outside terrace house. Thus planning supporting elements can be integrated with each other and harmonize with the physical form of house building.

Pattern Curves at Home Park
From the outside, the garden house in the lot is indeed a skewer was closed. The composition of the solid plant, covering the green grating made with curved pattern. The gate is made with the same pattern, made of wood rosin in sea-brown natural wood finish. On top of the gate, made perambat plants with similar patterns, with vines growing Thundbergia new rambatnya fill field. Curve pattern is applied to the outer face of the house to coordinate with the physical building Mediterranean-style house, which uses this pattern in the field of windows, doors and patio homes.

Front garden as a welcome area also has an important function is as a "polish" that beautify the outside of the house faces. Variety of tropical plants arranged in natural composition using the earnings but the regular field. Some medium-size palm trees with a subtle leaf canopy (princess palm and queen palm) became the main point. Further composition bushes lower following points with arch pattern that feels softer to compensate for the existing form of the park. Oleander plants that have started high menyemak, as a background that fills the corner at the end of the fence. The next lower shrubs such as Heliconia, Spathiphyllum, Iris, and tread virgin, filling the composition in the front row.
Plants whose leaves are patterned like Dracaena tricolor, daunya Agave variegata with white spear-shaped green patterned as an accent color to the composition of the predominantly green color. Flowering ornamental plants that are now in vogue and widely used in the tropical garden with flowers Jatroba pink, appear attractive among these compositions. Two barrels of natural stone with the water plants, deliberately placed in this composition to further reinforce the character. The composition of the solid and close to the fence from the front garden is intentionally applied because the function as a screen, to block the direct view to the lot satenya sticks.

Then in the middle of the elephant grass is lush green, created a pool of sandstone berpancuran Bali blackish gray. Water poured into the pond around the fountain with a round pan. Shower and pool fences are similar shape and follow the pattern of the physical house facade, curved and rounded. The rush of water from the fountain pool provides shade and comfort when we are around.

Rear garden
Slightly different from the front garden, rear garden more directed as a park for family activities. A small pool, dominate this area. L-shaped pool with a square pattern of the firm, was in contrast with the front garden that is consistent with a curved pattern.

At first the owner was hesitant to make the plan, mainly because of the limited remaining land to the rear garden. Next Faisal as designers create a solution with an integrated planning between the soft material and hard material. Finally, such a pattern is formed by leaving a little area around the pond to field planting. Thus the rear garden can be used as optimal as possible with a little greenery to soften the harsh impression of the device in addition to the material can provide shade around the house.

Between the pool and boundary wall of the house lots are still disisakan approximately 80 cm for field planting. Even still possible to put some plants such as palm trees, frangipani and coconut in this field, with low bushes around him. This condition can only be applied if planning supporting elements made jointly to the detailed technical calculations. For example pralon pipe flow to the pond water circulation arranged so that no area adjacent to the tree root growth can be ruined.

For the wall, limited to 2 meters from ground surface covered with sandstone butih made with mosaic techniques. Next on the field, finishing in the rough of quartz sand mixed with natural dyes, which formed a natural texture and matching with the architecture of the house.

Rear garden is filled with the use of hard materials from natural stones, from the pool floor, walls and other Accessories such as swimming shower, reliefs and a unique shower room. But the presence of such hard elements, were softened by tropical plants arranged in a composition as natural as possible, despite limited space available.

Alloying elements can support the park for maximum utilization of both planned in an integrated manner. So make a garden, not just arrange these plants in a composition, but more than that, coordinate supporting elements, soft materials and hard materials into an integrated park.
