One area is set to put noisy/ or silent electrical generator (not included) so that the electricity would still be available when there were sudden blackouts. Another thing to mention that this house purposes to save electricity particularly in the afternoon, even though lights were being turn off; it were bright inside the house.
It is visible to see that this house themes Classic-Victorian style and the ivory painted color on the exterior bring some senses of tenderness, loveliness, appealing, and natural. We have purposely chosen the ivory painted color both on the walls and classic ornaments so they appear to be truly natural. Subsequently, several kind of marble tiles (80% imports) and local have been set to decorate the majority of interior floor. Granite tiles are also set to decorate the balcony because they are suitable materials and commonly used for tropical country particularly in Indonesia. More importantly to state that the house has a very good air circulation condition with a big void. It surely gives greater breathing spaces and comfort for relaxation and releasing stress period. The whole rooftop use heat insulation materials, to reduce radiation up to 97% and reduce heat up to 7 degrees Celsius. Save electricity and energy.
