More and more people live in the city and try to enjoy the outdoors. The main challenge of this project was to create a harmonious and functional space, which would allow for various family activities such as socializing, exercising, playing, and at the same time bringing nature close.
The differentiation of floors, between the mosaic and the wooden deck, allows the space to be associated with the program making it more practical.
A wooden pergola with an awning allows for some shade and greater climatic comfort on this terrace with great sun exposure. In order to make the space more functional, a wooden bench and a cabinet were also created.
We opted for vegetation that would create a bucolic environment, giving the feeling of bringing the countryside to the city. And even though it was quite resistant and undemanding in maintenance.
With the stiffness of the flower boxes contrast textures and colors, of the leaves and flowers of the various plants.
An automatic irrigation system was installed.
And even a garden area where some vegetables are already growing.
