Design houses such as what is your favorite? What is a classic design, ethnic, minimalist, or modern? Although the design of the house entirely in the hands of the owner, it is useful when building a house, the owner of the condition of the environment around his home.

If the weather conditions there only knew two seasons, rainy or hot and tropical, it's good if the tropical house design combined with modern design used as a guide. Although according to environmental conditions, it does not mean the house can be directly constructed. There are also some things to consider if you want a modern tropical house is really comfortable.

Tropical climate means getting the abundant sunshine, high humidity, and rainfall is quite high too. Effects that could arise from this is that the room will be stuffy and hot in the absence of good air circulation. As a result, may develop bacteria and fungi that are less good for human health.

"In addition, the wood becomes susceptible to decay and termites. So did the flow of heavy rain and stuck in congestion and not concrete or puddled on the gutters will be prone to cause leakage," said architect of Mitra Graha Wisnu Brata.

For that, needs to be done a few things to work around this. First, to overcome the problem of lighting in the afternoon sun, made opening skylights or light on the roof and upper walls. Can also be made of opening windows or glass doors big enough, make open spaces in the house, either park in the middle of the room and in the back of the house.

"Other alternatives can be done using glassblock and stained glass and create a void area from the 2nd floor and 1st floor with window openings besar.Dengan enough so, the ground floor can be much brighter," said Vishnu.

Another step that can be done is to organize and try to change the direction of sunlight falling on the building. How to create shadow effects within the room by way of trying to control the direction of light falling through windows or skylights into the building.

Then set the building back and forth in order to get the effect teranggelap and depth of the building facade. Another thing you can do is to create openings in buildings and their effects on buildings such as doors, windows, skylights, balcony or pergola following wood lattice and canopy.

Alternatively could use a material with severity of the effects of light such as natural stone, concrete, wood, and glass or metal. Can also do the trick dark light effects through backward and forward buildings and building depth. Although sunlight is good for health, it does not mean harmless excessive sunlight.

Because it needs to be made a canopy to prevent glare and reduce splashed. If necessary, make a lattice of wood or iron as a secondary skin or sunshading to reduce excessive sunlight.

"Or try to make curtains or a horizontal or vertical blinds to adjust the incoming sunlight. Can also make no frontal direction toward building a westerly direction but is a bit skewed," said Vishnu.

To get a high enough humidity, make opening windows or doors facing each other with each other. The goal is that there is good air circulation through the system of cross-horizontal or vertical. Or try to incorporate sunlight into the room directly, either through the wall or through an opening in the roof with a minimum of one hour to avoid moisture.

Next, make a good wind holes on top jamb and side wall top for air circulation becomes more fluent. Alternatively, create a window of a multifunctional and can be used for two things. So, if homeowners want only light coming in, jalusinya can be opened but the wind did not go, and vice versa.

Another step, choose a timber that is resistant to weathering or termites or by providing a layer to make it more durable. Finally, the issue of rainfall is high enough, try to drain as quickly as possible rainfall into the soil surface and by selecting a steep slope roof.

"Do not forget to select a tile that has a straight groove and depth so that water flows faster. Replacing the vertical gutters are many and great, especially for that use flat roofs, can also be done," said Vishnu.

What also must be considered is not to make a lot of sequence on the roof that create pools of water and potentially cause leakage. Not to forget, attach aluminum foil to help reduce the heat under the roof and can help reduce leakage. For material exterior sill area, choose aluminum or wood weatherproof. For finishing the outside, choose wood with varnish.

"Do not use melamik because it tends to be easily damaged. Select also paint the wall that are more resistant to external climate, such as extreme weather or mold and mildew," suggested Vishnu. Well, are you ready to build your dream house modern tropical?
