THE HAMMOCK HOUSE

The Hammock House
A video where you can meet all qualities that possesses the "Hammock House", named for its facade with peculiar form, function, structure and as the object of rest, whose use is so widespread in many countries of Latin America.

This house evokes the relationship with nature and the country atmosphere ideal for relaxation, rest and tranquility. The HAMMOCK HOUSE has DIVERGENT ARCHITECTURE. Professionals from Architecture Laboratory (laboratoriodearquitectura.com.py) developed this interesting proposal dubbed as Hammock House, a house of 80m2 built on a land area of 360m2.

The name of the project was given by its final shape and structural concept that stabilizes the volume, where two parallel blocks to the extreme counterbalance the ceiling as well as the the catenary curve. The mixed structure, consisting of dry and wet work, consists of two iron frames that hold a net of 10mm rods that transmit the forces (tension), diverting and anchoring to the weight of the brick walls in the form of boxes that rest on reinforced concrete, partly on the ground and partly on a cantilever bracket supported in conjunction with the tensor above. For its part, the final cover is 100% galvanized sheet attached to the network of rods and increased in weight by hanging stones.

CONTEMPORARY HOUSE IN ZAGALETA SPAIN

This beautiful contemporary house design is located in La Zagaleta, Spain. Designed by British architect Peter Thomas de Cruz, with stunning contemporary design ideas. This house occupies a site on the hillside inland from the coast of southern Spain.

To get the most out of the place, this modern house uses the slope of the area with the core of the house, it is a double-height gallery with natural light that extends down the slope of the site. All facades made of full height crystals parallel to the slope must be fully open to allow airflow through building. Cross ventilation, along with large roof overhangs and cantilevered balconies that provide sun protection, reduces reliance on air conditioning and extends the opportunity for comfortable living outdoors. This modern contemporary house design is drastically cut in half perpendicular to the gallery with a glass floor (where dining room is located) to close the gap between the two halves and the linking of kitchen space for living space. The gallery sits astride parallel an indoor pool, and when all the windows retract fully, both in the gallery and the dining space bridges fully open to the atmosphere. The calm of the house is accentuated by the flowing water from the pool patio gallery finished down on a board below the waterfall room to meet the lowest of the two pools connected.

FACADES MADE OF STONE

An alternative to paint the front of the house, is to give texture with stone cladding as in this beautiful home:

The stone is the most resistant to wear, and transit time.

The stone gives a cold feeling to the environment, so it is advisable not to abuse it.

The most rustic stone models are shown in outdoor flooring: sidewalks, decks, etc..

In terms of decor, the stones are much better in its natural finish.

The stone floors are suitable for indoor and outdoor flooring but in each case we must take into account some considerations:

- In the case of paving a balcony or terrace, the type of stone chosen should be permeable and light.
- For kitchens and bathrooms the most sophisticated stone models are more desirable.
Placement of the pavement:
- To place a stone pavement, you have first to level the floor and leave the subfloor ready.
- The placement of the socket is optional: while there are models that bring built this piece, we can leave the pavement without base making a very neat work or cut the same stone and place it without any problems.
- The stone should be sealed. To do this, use a silicone product that will protect it from stains without altering the color or texture.
- The vitrification treatment is an alternative to give a glossy or matte finish, according to preference. This treatment is similar as the one given to the wood.

DECORATION OF FACADES OF HOUSES BUILDINGS AND OTHER CONSTRUCTIONS

The facade is the cover letter of our home, company or any building that we have and the first step in defining your style or design. In this blog you will find some ideas of contemporary house facades, for inspiration.

Beyond style, the facade determines the everyday life inside of the house. Think, for example, the size and distribution of windows: essential elements that define the quality of life for people living in that home. Today, in addition, the choice of the facade is linked to factors such as safety or the need for privacy. In the pictures of facades in this blog, there are several ideas for you to choose the most suited to your preferences.

How should I paint the front of my house or building?
In the decoration of facades, painting is one of the main materials used as a means of reform to change the view of a home or building. Painting turns out to be very economical and fast.

The different shades of paint affect both home decoration and the mood of a person, that is why should you conduct a study to determine the most appropriate color for the area. The paintings directly protect the surface from harsh climatic conditions and use. Do not try to save on expensive paintings, buy the best and made of latex. Remember that a facade is prone to rain and weather changes. You get what you pay for and you do not want to have a cracked or peeling facade.
When decorating a facade, you must take into account several factors that can directly influence the work.

For example, time is essential to make this work, and it is recommended to look for a professional because a person who is not specialized in this kind of work often finds it a little bit tedious. When choosing a professional or a qualified company in decoration, you should make a comparison between several companies and/or professionals, so you can choose who has more experience. You should seek several references before hiring the specialist. Do not forget to see at least one of the earlier works of the person you hire.

Regarding the budget, this should list all the mechanisms used for the decoration of the facade, the brand, materials and items to buy.

It is recommended that the person acquires all the material to be used to perform the work, since the time of termination depends on this. While painting, you should be very cautious, because the technique used will directly affect the final completion of the facade. It is recommended that the person takes his time for painting, thus, not creating any problems. It is also recommended that the area to perform the work to be completely clean, since dust may stick on the wall and damage the paint work.

A very important point that you should consider is the preparation of painting. It should be clear about the conditions that the surface has to be painted and the preparatory work that will be essential to ensure a perfect finish. It is recommended to verify that the plasters are very firm and dry, this will ensure durability of the paint. You should also take into account the woodwork, which must be in a very good condition. If not, it is necessary to hire an expert to do the remodeling.

In the market, there is a wide range of paintings that are differentiated by their brand and material. These can be, regarding material:
-To preparing the base painting.
-Those related to finish painting.
In the first material can appear paintings of metal, wood, masonry, etc.., Which can be used both inside and outside of the facade. There are also latex paints, widely used for interior walls. There are a variety of paintings that can be used for decorating facades, such as:
? Latex for ceilings.
? Latex for interiors.
? Latex for exteriors.
? Semi-matte synthetic enamel.
? Glossy synthetic enamel.
? Varnishes
? Matte Synthetic Enamels.

The preparation of latex lies in applying a coat of primer binding, allowing it to penetrate into the pores in the plaster, cast or thin, then make a general filling, which promote adherence and regularize the absorption of the wall.
If you want the wall to remain very homogeneous, you must apply mural paste before any painting, otherwise wall will be porous.
As you see in the pictures, the facades can have different textures and colors, such as facing bricks, walls covered with plants, stone facades, wood facades, etc... Something I will discuss in another post.
