Having an outdoor space to enjoy even during the coldest months of the year is a dream that can be fulfilled by building a glass veranda in your garden or terrace. Who among us has never wanted to be totally surrounded by evocative natural scenery, perhaps during a nice snowfall, while staying protected indoors?
A European November is on the way for Corradi, which decided to start the autumn season with 3 trade show events between France and Spain: in Paris for EquipBaie and EquipHotel and, at the same time, in Madrid for Veteco.
The second edition of ArchiLIVE has been launched last October 11th. The exhibition was born from the collaboration between L’Arca International and the Créad Institute of Lyon, a landmark for training and professional updating dedicated to architects, designers and decorators.
In the heart of the second largest commercial district in France, archiLIVE is a working space for companies and architects, for exhibitions and meetings, that comes back this year in the renewed area signed by Patricia Lasserre Torrijos and Lofty Kelsch.
Is it possible to experience the outdoors even in the fall and winter, enjoying the colour and weather changes in complete freedom? We think so, provided that you know how to close pergolas and gazebos in order to create a comfortable environment. An outdoor space that is not only practical and elegant, but that also meets specific technical and personal requirements: this is why the choice of fabric is critical.
Indeed, knowing the various features of outdoor fabrics makes it possible to achieve high performance in terms of protection depending on the thermal and climatic conditions inside and outside your outdoor space. So let's see the types of fabric available and, in particular, the advantages of PVC outdoor closures.
The garden is a fundamental part of our home because it represents a sort of visiting card for our taste and style. For this reason it is important to dedicate time and attention to the decoration of outdoor spaces, an activity that can offer great satisfaction if done right.
Having a lush garden rich in plants and fragrant flowers, perhaps embellished with a fountain or a stream, promotes the well-being of those who enjoy it. If you want your green space to be transformed into a refuge from hectic everyday life, why not opt for a harmonious Feng Shui garden?
A well-organised and properly protected outdoor space offers many advantages, most importantly the possibility of having extra space to enjoy a multifunctional environment to be used many months a year.
Of course, to enjoy your outdoor space it is essential to create a sheltered area by setting up a cover – like a pergola – that can protect against the sun and bad weather. Since this is usually a small structure, in particular in the home sector, and built for the exclusive purpose of creating a shaded area without affecting the surrounding landscape, many people decide to opt for a DIY pergola, without contacting specialists in the industry.
While it is true that there are wonders like the Palace of Versailles, the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, the Butchart Gardens in Canada and many others, when it comes to the outdoors, especially in the private sector, there is no such thing as a "perfect garden". Or maybe there is? Certainly every residential outdoor space must be perfect for those who live in it, tailor made according to their needs including personal tastes and desires, but also unique details that should be reinforced.
But how to design a garden?
The garden, the terrace or the balcony are extensions of our home that deserve to be experienced not only in summer but throughout the year and in any weather conditions. The use of a pergola that protects and enhances your outdoor space can transform the exterior of your home into a comfortable area to be shared with loved ones or simply to be enjoyed in the company of a good book.
However, there is not always enough space to add elements typical of outdoor living. To turn your dream of spending time outdoors into reality the ideal solution is to opt for a wall-mounted pergola, a space-saving solution that is extremely versatile, elegant in shape and lightweight in structure, able to harmonise with your home and the existing structures.
