10 Ways to Remodel Greener for Contractor

Unknown No comments 00.43

Let's get to the nitty-gritty of what it means to remodel green. Being green starts long before you think about where you want to put the tub, and the effects last into the future long after you're gone. Remodeling can be a wasteful process. The least we can do is proceed thoughtfully.

These 10 tips will help get you past the hype and "greenwashing" surrounding environmentally conscious remodeling.

2. Be mindful of scale. As Sarah Susanka teaches us in The Not So Big House and other books, a well-designed space does not need to be huge to serve our needs. If you can remodel your existing home to do more instead of moving to a larger home, you save energy, reduce waste and often increase happiness.

3. Think about the future. Before you pick up a hammer, think about possible future needs, too. The bathroom pictured here includes a sleek grab bar for safety that doubles as a soap dish. The homeowner didn't need a grab bar at the time but knew that she would need one eventually, as this is her forever home.

The more we remodel with all ages and potential uses in mind, the less likely we are to remodel in the future. The less we need to build, the greener we'll be — and that's coming from a builder!

4. Manage light and heat. Solar panels won't always make for a smart financial investment, because of the time it takes for them to pay for themselves, but the sun's direct light and heat are free, with no investment greater than a little forethought.

Bring daylight into your home, and it will lift your spirits for more reasons than the reduced electrical bill. Sunlight brings heat with it, too. Remodel your home to take advantage of the sun when you want it and keep it out when you don't.

Adding reflective roof coatings, installing tubular skylights and creating thermal mass are just a few ways to work with the sun.

How to Choose the Right Kitchen Sink

Unknown No comments 00.33

The etymology of the phrase “everything but the kitchen sink” probably has to do with the fact that the sink is difficult to move. For instance, if a person absconded with “everything but the kitchen sink,” it means he or she made off with every conceivable portable item. But here is a new way of looking at the term: What if said person didn’t take the hypothetical sink because it was too necessary to the kitchen?

When you think about it, there are very few features in the home that are used as often. And what other home item performs as many different tasks? It could be argued that the selection of a sink is one of the most important kitchen choices you will make — and it’s a decision that will affect your daily life for many years to come. We spoke to designers who belong to the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) about how to select the right sink.

How Many Basins, and in What Configuration?

1. A large, single sink.
Pros: A single, deep basin means you can easily soak or wash a big pan or prep large quantities of food.

Cons: Rinsing vegetables while soaking a large casserole dish requires a bit of juggling — as does hand washing and rinsing china or stemware.

A certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer for 30 years, Sharon Flatley has seen the kitchen sink grow wider, deeper and more diverse. “There’s so much more to choose from now,” she says.

These days Flatley, the principal of Flatley & Associates in Dallas, says most of her clients opt for a single, deep basin that is 33 to 36 inches wide and 8 to 10 inches deep. “This kind of sink is very versatile,” she says. “It works whether you cook a lot or not much.”

Flatley says the delicate dance of doing prep work and cleaning duty at the same time can be accomplished with accessories.

“Most sink manufacturers offer a wealth of add-ons,” she says, “including rinse baskets that fit nicely in the basin.”

2. Two basins of differing sizes (a 60/40 or offset sink).

Pros: Two basins allow you to perform separate tasks, such as cleaning dishes and preparing food, with ease. A 60/40 sink has one basin that is usually about 18 inches wide and another that is 14 inches wide. The idea is that you can clean up in the large basin and prep in the smaller one. Dual basins also come in handy when you are washing items you don’t want to put in the dishwasher (soap in one basin, rinse water in the other).

Cons: A smaller basin makes it harder to wash and soak large pans.

“For clients who want flexibility, a double sink can be the way to go,” says Flatley. “There are also a number of people who are accustomed to working with two basins, and they don’t want to change.”

Dave Burcher, principal at In House in New York, notes that double sinks aren’t necessarily limited to the 60/40 split. “Although that ratio is the most common one, the customization options are nearly limitless,” he says.

3. Two basins of equal sizes (a 50/50 sink).

Pros: This is for people who love symmetry in design. It also has the benefit of allowing separate tasks (cleaning, prepping and washing, rinsing).

Cons: That large pan could be soaking on the counter.

“Some people have only worked in this kind of sink, and so they prefer it,” says Flatley. “But I personally have not had a client ask for one in several years.”

4. Three basins (two large ones and one small one with a garbage disposal).

Pros: You can use the garbage disposal independently of the sink.

Cons: In some models, such as this one, you can’t sweep food scraps off the counter and into the disposal (this could be remedied with a cutting board insert). Because it is a wider sink, more space is needed.

“For people who like to keep the garbage disposal away from the food, this is a good option,” says Flatley.

Burcher notes that during cleanup, accessing the garbage disposal while a pan is soaking can be annoying. “This setup eliminates that,” he says.

6 Gardens to Inspire Your Outdoor Rooms

Unknown No comments 00.24

For nearly 30 years the Gamble Garden Spring Tour has unlocked the gates to some of the most exclusive residential landscapes in Palo Alto, California, giving visitors a chance to experience what lies beyond the sidewalk. The tour benefits the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden, a horticultural nonprofit. Each year it showcases five exceptional gardens, providing home and garden enthusiasts with a bevy of inspiration for their own outdoor sanctuaries.

Like the tech industry that surrounds them, this year’s gardens were bursting with ideas. Though nothing quite beats the crunch of gravel underfoot or the perfume of citrus blooms warming in the sun, if you look at these photos long enough, you may just be able to see the grass blowing in the breeze.

2-Day Plan: Get a Spotless, Beautifully Organized Dining Room

Unknown No comments 00.19

Has your dining room become a catchall for the odds and ends of daily life? Or is it a virtually untouched, dusty museum that you use only on holidays and special occasions? Getting the dining room fresh, clean and well organized is a good first step toward using and enjoying it daily. This weeklong plan will get your dining room in shape, so you can enjoy nightly dinners with your loved ones in a comfortable, serene space.

Home Design Inspiration

Make a plan of attack: The current state of your dining room will determine how much time you’ll need to tackle each part of this plan — read over the whole plan first and then decide where to focus your efforts. If, for example, you have little clutter but a huge collection of tarnished silver you really want to get clean, you may want to start right in on the cleaning on Day 1. No matter what you focus on, it helps to get started on a weekend, when you can knock out the biggest tasks while your energy and motivation are high. Then finish up during smaller pockets of time during the week.

Day 1: Regain sanity.

Decluttering tasks: Today is the day to make a fresh start in the dining room.

Remove anything that belongs in another room: shopping bags waiting to be unpacked, library books that need to be returned, kids’ toys, piles of mail, laptops — whatever you’ve got!
Completely clear the stuff off the dining table, floors and other surfaces. Most decor can stay (for now), but if it has a home in another room, out it goes.
Instead of just shoveling the piles into another room, take the time to actually put things where they go. Otherwise you will end up back at square one by next weekend!
As you declutter, make a list of exactly what sorts of things have ended up in your dining room. This is a clue that those types of items do not have a proper place to “live” — later in the week, we will look at this list more closely.

Cleaning tasks: If you have an area rug beneath your dining table, and it needs more than vacuuming, roll it up and cart it to a dry cleaner that handles rugs today.

Day 2: Deep clean.

Cleaning tasks: At first glance the dining room may seem like a straightforward room to get spic and span. But if you have a china cabinet filled with tableware, drawers of silver and open shelving with tons of decorations gathering dust, it can be quite time consuming.

Start with a top-to-bottom vacuuming of the entire room. Reach up to the highest corners and use an attachment on the window treatments. Get some help if you can to move the dining table to the side, so you can vacuum the top of the area rug and underneath it.
Roll up the area rug if you have one and mop the floor. Allow the floor to dry completely before replacing the rug.
Use an all-purpose cleaner and a microfiber cloth to clean the baseboards, windowsills and cabinet hardware.
Clean your dining table and use a wood polish if it’s appropriate for the finish.
Use glass cleaner on mirrors and glass cabinet doors.
Dust open shelves, cabinet interiors and china or decorations that have been sitting out.
If you have fine silver and it is tarnished, take the plunge and clean it. If you don’t want to use a toxic silver cleaner, try soaking your silver several pieces at a time in a pan lined with aluminum foil and filled with boiled water and baking soda.

Decluttering tasks: As you deep clean today, think about what you might be ready to let go of or store elsewhere. Tomorrow you will be making some decisions to help simplify your space, but if you’ve already given the matter some thought, the process will go more smoothly.

Rumah Unik dan Cantik Berawal dari Rencana Sederhana

Unknown No comments 23.29

Rumah Unik dan Cantik
KOMPAS.com - Rencana pembangunan rumah secara sederhana bisa berkembang dan menghasilkan bangunan istimewa. Arsitek Jamie Darnell sudah membuktikan hal itu.

Seperti dikutip Dwell.com, sang arsitek berencana membangun rumah untuk isteri dan anak-anaknya. Rumah yang berada di Kansas City, Missouri, Amerika Serikat, tersebut memiliki ukuran 157,9 m2 dan tambahan 64,1 m2 ruang bawah tanah.

Jamie Darnell dan isterinya, Michele, tumbuh di Kansas City. Menurut Michele, sejak muda dia sebenarnya ingin meninggalkan tanah kelahirannya. Ketika tumbuh dewasa, dia dan Darnell malah memutuskan kembali ke tanah kelahirannya.

"Meninggalkan tempat ini selalu menjadi tujuan ketika tumbuh di sini," jelas Michele.

"Namun, kedua keluarga kami ada di sini. Kami tahu, kami ingin membangun rumah sendiri, dan tentu saja lebih mungkin membangunnya di sini," tambahnya.

Keluarga kecil Darnell mulai menyiapkan anggaran dan mengajukan pinjaman pada bank. Konstruksi segera dimulai setelah pinjaman untuk membiayai pembangunannya disetujui. Jamie Darnell menyiapkan anggaran sebesar 320.000 dollar AS atau sekitar 134 dollar AS per kaki persegi (sekitar Rp1,5 juta perkaki persegi).

Seperti sudah disebutkan sebelumnya, konsep rumah ini sebetulnya sederhana. Konsep itu dikembangkan dengan bertolak belakang dengan terbatasnya anggaran yang ditetapkan oleh Darnell.

Karena itulah, Darnell hanya ingin menciptakan sebuah kotak persegi. Bentuk ini tentu tampak sederhana, jika dibandingkan dengan rumah-rumah tetangga di sekitarnya yang memiliki karakteristik moderen dan istimewa. Selain bentuk, menurut dia, jalan paling mudah memotong ongkos konstruksi adalah mengurangi luas tapak rumah.

"Cara terbaik menurunkan biaya konstruksi adalah mengurangi luas tapak, maka kami memfokuskan diri pada volume, daripada area," ujar Jamie.

Karena itulah, rumah milik sang arsitek tampak "jinjit" dari permukaan tanah. Kemudian, pembangunan rumah ini dilaksanakan menggunakan SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) yang bisa selesai dalam seminggu penuh. Selain cepat, prosesnya pun efisien, dan relatif rendah biaya.

Beroksidasi

Mengintip sejenak ke dalam rumah milik sang arsitek, interior rumahnya tampak dipenuhi warna putih. Warna ini relatif netral dan bisa disandingkan dengan warna apa pun. Hanya saja, warna putih membuat kotoran yang dibuat oleh anak-anak kecil tampak lebih mencolok.

Sementara itu, lantainya menggunakan katu ceri Brazil berwarna gelap. Namun, Darnell tidak membiarkan interiornya tampak kosong, termasuk plafon rumahnya. Dia menggunakan balok kayu dari cemara Douglas untuk menghiasnya.

Rumah itu juga dibungkus dengan tembaga berlubang. Awalnya, tembaga ini sangat mengilap, mirip dengan koin-koin yang bersinar memantulkan cahaya matahari. Seiring waktu, tampilan tembaga tersebut berubah.

"Rumah saya tampak seperti memiliki penyakit kulit," ujar Jamie Darnell.

"Pelapisnya beroksidasi dengan cara yang aneh. Akhirnya, warna pelapis tersebut akan menjadi hijau," katanya.

Seperti dikutip Dwell.com, Darnell mengungkapkan bahwa dia sudah membayangkan bahwa suatu hari nanti rumahnya akan dikelilingi oleh rumput-rumput tinggi. Hal tersebut membuat rumahnya tampak melayang.
