Projects of country houses with a winter garden. Projects of houses with a winter garden. You can decide on the style of your future home in the "Individual Design" catalog

Since ancient times, when the outside world posed a threat from all sides, houses with courtyards were built in order to protect themselves and their families. It was a place where you could relax, a special comfort zone for family and friends.

Project of a one-story house with a courtyard and glass walls

Such internal open courtyards are sometimes called. The homeland of the patio is Spain, where Moorish and Moorish are closely intertwined. In Islamic countries, courtyards were the main place for conducting business activities.

There are similar courtyards in other countries. For example, and. In these countries, internal tea courtyards are an attribute of the tea ceremony, one of the most important national rituals.

Nowadays, of course, the courtyard no longer has a protective function, but it is still relevant, as it allows the family to escape from the bustling outside life and relax peacefully in silence and comfort.

In ordinary life, the so-called atrium layout is most often used when planning a patio. Its meaning is simple - all buildings are built around the perimeter, and a courtyard is laid out on the resulting site.

Original patio fencing

Most often, buildings are located either in the shape of a square or on three sides, with the fourth, free side, being used as the entrance to it. There are indoor and outdoor courtyards.

First of all, you need to draw up a design project for the desired courtyard. Here you need to decide on the location of the house, buildings and the courtyard itself. It should be conveniently located and fulfill its original function: to provide privacy from the outside world.

Patio size

The size of the patio depends only on your wishes and capabilities. This can be either a tiny courtyard containing only a small gazebo for relaxation, or a large space with a variety of buildings.

Functions and purpose

When creating a project, you should also consider what functions the courtyard will perform. If it is intended to be a gathering place for only a small family, there is no point in making it huge. If in the future you plan to gather all your many friends, relatives and acquaintances here, in order to avoid crowding, it is worth making it large in size.

When developing a project for an outdoor patio, you need to decide on the choice of all the building materials needed during the construction process. Depending on preferences and capabilities, these can be either artificial or only natural materials.

Construction of paths and platforms

When designing paths and platforms, it is necessary to take into account the relief features of the site and the purpose of the paths. When designing, you should calculate the load acting on the tracks, and in this regard, select the technology and material for their manufacture.

Paths can be:

• Tough. When monolithic concrete is used as a coating;
• Soft. Where the building material is crushed stone or gravel;
• Combined. They consist of paving slabs and various bulk materials.

Water features

A fountain will look very beautiful and original in such a courtyard. It is worth planning in accordance with the general exterior of the entire courtyard.

To cool down a little on a hot summer day, you should think about building a swimming pool, even a small one, on your patio. The easiest option is to purchase and install a standard bowl. When buying ready-made bowls, do not forget about our cold weather. Plastic bowls, as a rule, burst when there is a sudden change in temperature.

Also, strong impacts are contraindicated for such bowls. Acrylic bowls are ideal for our area with severe frosts in winter and can easily withstand almost any mechanical stress.

But if you want to build a pool according to your own design with an unusual configuration, then you can fill the dug pit of the chosen shape and size with concrete.


Additionally, you will have to take care of the location of all the necessary equipment for servicing the pool, water filtration and drainage.

Patio landscaping

When developing a landscape design for a patio, to create beauty and coziness, you can use vertical gardening along the entire perimeter, placing so-called vertical terraces of plants.

Such terraces are quite complex engineering structures assembled on a frame basis. The frame can be made of any shape depending on the overall design of the courtyard. At the entrance, the plants arranged in an arch look very beautiful. They can also be placed on trellises, climbing plants can be placed on trellises, or simply placed along the walls of the house and at the borders of plots.

The frame for plants can be assembled from any strong material at hand. Profiles for installing plasterboard systems or regular wooden beams are ideal for this.


Capillary mats with a drip irrigation system are mounted on top of the frame, on which plants are planted. When constructing such a system, it is necessary to correctly select the entire set of plants decorating the patio, according to all the necessary parameters.

The use of forged elements in vertical terraces will attract the eye, and the plants located nearby will play a secondary, complementary role.

The construction of a hedge on the site will allow you to divide the courtyard into parts or become an original partition to separate different functional zones. For example, this is ideal for separating a recreation area from a swimming pool area.

Terraces are usually installed in the spring and removed for the winter. With some effort, it is fashionable to make such terraces with your own hands, but it is better to turn to specialists for help. Green terraces will add coziness and completeness to the courtyard.

A winter garden attached to a house is very popular. The popularity lies in the beauty, coziness and comfort of this extension. The basis of a winter garden is to create an atmosphere of fresh flowers and plants that are grown in the house all year round. It is especially pleasant to enjoy the smell of fresh blooming flowers, which create a truly heavenly place. The winter garden relaxes, saturates the body with oxygen and takes you into the world of dreams. Such extensions are often popular in country houses or cottages, but it is also possible to install them in apartments. We will consider in more detail what is needed to build such an extension, projects and features of the types of winter gardens.

Features of winter garden projects in the house

The winter garden has the appearance of a transparent structure that can visually expand the boundaries of a given room. The glass structure is additionally equipped with a heating system in winter, ventilation and watering of plants. The simplicity of the construction contributes to the arrangement of even a balcony in a city apartment.

In a private house, you can make a winter garden in the attic or organize it on a glazed and insulated veranda if the house is one-story.

Special glass is special energy-saving double glazed windows. They consist of two or three glasses, inside of which there is an air cushion that saves heat inside the attic.

Double-glazed windows not only save you in winter, but also help in summer. In summer, they prevent the room from heating up too much, which has a positive effect on plants and people. The sun's rays penetrating into the glass greenhouse contribute to the creation of a greenhouse effect. This effect is used for the growth of vegetation indoors.

An important point when creating a winter garden is the arrangement of its walls and floor with special materials that contribute to the accumulation of heat during the day and heat release at night.

You will find all the information about the types of siding for cladding a house.

The presence of a heating system is not a mandatory element, because its main purpose is to create a microclimate and a certain temperature. If the attic is constructed of double or triple glass, then heating is often not required. But, when building an extension from single glass, the presence of a system is mandatory so that the flora does not freeze in winter, because some plants do not survive at temperatures below +15 degrees.

A single-glazed attic must be equipped with an additional shading device. The dimmer is designed to prevent the room from overheating above +30 degrees, which will negatively affect their growth or even kill them.

Creating a sealed room is an important point, because cracks can allow cold air to penetrate into the extension. Having an automatic watering system is optional, but it is important to water almost daily. An automatic watering system will make human work easier. It is also necessary to provide a lighting system.

In winter, the sun does not always shine often, and the days are short at this time of year. Therefore, it is necessary to have additional lighting - artificial. These are the main features of arranging a house with a winter garden. It is also important to provide for the availability of auxiliary equipment for plant development.

Methods of organization, design for a greenhouse in a cottage or private house

Initially, to organize the construction of an extension, it is necessary to resolve the following points:

1. Periods of operation. In what seasons will this room be used: for year-round or seasonal use.
2. What is the purpose of the extension?: As a hobby for caring for plants or for everyday relaxation.

If you plan to use it year-round, then you can safely fulfill your fantasies of filling the room with various kinds of plants. When used year-round, the attic is equipped with special soft corners for relaxation and even night sleep. You can also equip the attic with a kitchen corner where tea parties will be held.

Breakfast, lunch or dinner: the organization of all these additions in the greenhouse is determined by the area of ​​the room; if it is a balcony, then it is unlikely that you can put a sofa on it. If you plan to use the extension only during certain periods, then it is enough to equip the greenhouse with your main favorite plant species.

There is no need to create heating, irrigation and ventilation systems. All this can be done artificially with your own hands. It is the orientation of further use that depends on the arrangement of the extension with a winter garden.

Accommodation

The placement of the winter garden extension can be varied. It can be created together with the main house or built on afterwards. But it is best to build it together with the house, this will simplify the engineering design. As mentioned above, a winter garden can be added:

1. To a private country house or cottage.
2. On the balcony of the apartment.
3. To any other residential premises, and even the construction of a separate room.
4. On the roof of your house or top floor apartment.

When planning a room, you should divide it into the following components:

• main area for growing plants and flowers;
• an area for storing equipment and plant care items;
• relaxation area
• other additional areas if there is free space (sports equipment corner, ottoman or sofa for sleeping, table for conversations and eating).

The optimal size for a winter garden extension is an area of ​​10 to 20 m2. A smaller structure is adjacent to the overall volume of the residential building.

You will probably want to get acquainted with the designs of the facades of private houses, which will tell you about.

Design

To create the main frame, special building materials are selected. They are calculated during construction under the influence of the following factors:

1. Weight of double-glazed windows. The frame must support the weight of the glass from which the room is constructed.
2. The action of external factors: wind, rain, snow.
3. Effect of other mechanical or physical influences.

The frame is best constructed from wood, steel or aluminum. Metal-plastic profiles are rarely used.

It is possible that you may need .

Steel is used in the construction of the winter garden structure. But since the room with the plants is humid, the moisture will contribute to the appearance of corrosion on the steel structure. It is necessary to prepare steel materials for corrosion. The effect of moisture on a wooden frame will also negatively affect the strength of the structure. Moisture also has harmful properties on wood. It is necessary to paint wooden structural elements with varnish, paint or special impregnation.

The best quality among all is the aluminum frame. Moisture does not destroy aluminum elements, and therefore it creates a rigid, durable and at the same time lightweight structure. The cost of aluminum profiles is not much different from the other two. The use of metal-plastic profiles gives the structure strength and durability. Does not require additional care.

Heating systems

So, if the winter garden is planned to be used year-round, then it is necessary to upgrade the room with a heating system. To choose a suitable heating system, you need to know the criteria that influence the choice:

1. Dimensions of the winter garden. The larger the size of the room, the correspondingly more heat is needed for heating.
2. Frequency of use of the winter garden. If you plan to use it continuously throughout the year, then the system is required.
3. Type of plants grown. Most plants develop at temperatures above +18 degrees, with the exception of some frost-resistant ones.

These factors should be taken into account when planning and choosing a heating system. Garden heating systems can be used in the following types:

• electric heaters;
• air conditioners;
• heating type "warm floor";
• water heating;
• stove heating;
• air heating.

The technology of facade insulation with polystyrene foam is described.

Let's consider the main parameters for using each of the above types. Electric heaters are the use of convectors or fireplaces to heat a room. You can install automatic heaters that will turn on and off when the room temperature drops.

The number of fireplaces for heating is selected by calculating the area of ​​the room. Air conditioners allow you to create a microclimate in the room. In winter, heating is carried out, and in summer, cooling is carried out. Air conditioning includes: air conditioners, split systems or mounted UFO heaters.

Heating with a “warm floor” system allows not only to heat the room, but also to create proper air circulation. The room is completely heated in this way. Water heating is carried out by installing radiators in the winter garden. Water flows through the batteries and is heated by a steam boiler.

The boiler can be gas, solid fuel, electric. Stove heating is carried out by firing the stove. The construction of the stove is not necessary in the greenhouse itself. The stove can be heated either with wood or coal.

Air heating is carried out by installing a fan in the wall between the heated room and the room with the winter garden. Warm air is distilled by a fan, thereby producing heating.

When the room temperature reaches a certain level, the fan turns off. You can choose any heating that is more suitable for the price. To finally settle on a specific option, we will consider the pros and cons of each type.

Difficulties at work, pros and cons

The pros and cons of all types of heating are entered into a table for ease of analysis.

Name/type of heating	pros	Minuses
1. Electric heaters.	Changing the location of the heater depending on the need.	A large amount of electricity consumed, which is expensive.
	Regulation of heat flow by changing power.	Capable of drying out the air, which negatively affects the development of plants.
	Easy installation procedure
2. Air conditioners.	Possibility of temperature adjustment.	High cost of equipment and electricity.
	Does not dry out the air compared to electric heaters
3. Warm floor.	Circulation of warm air throughout the room.	High cost of equipment and installation.
	The floor heats the soil in which the plants are planted. Warm soil increases the speed of plant development.	Difficulty in repairing when the heating system breaks down.
	The pipes through which water is supplied for irrigation are heated.	Carrying out installation during the construction of the premises.
4. Water heating.	Low cost of heat.	Difficulty in installing heating batteries.
	The temperature in the garden and neighboring rooms is the same. There are no differences.
	Maintaining a certain temperature.
5. Stove heating.	Cheap combustible materials.	Uneven temperature distribution throughout the room.
	Creating a specific interior in a room.	Fire hazard.
		No automatic temperature control.
		Constant supervision and maintenance of the system is required.
6. Air heating.	The simplest and cheapest heating option	Due to the small amount of heat, it is necessary to insulate the room from the outside.
		Dries out the air.
		It spoils the appearance of the room.

The table shows which type of heating is optimal. But the decision should be made specifically for a specific room.

The winter garden must be built on the sunny side, i.e. from South. This will make it possible to warm up the room as much as possible in winter.

Design solutions for verandas and loggias - original interiors

In addition to the winter garden extension, special sliding glass compartment doors can be installed. This will save space indoors and add personality to your conservatory.

The use of accordion type doors gives the room style, spaciousness and individuality.

Japanese winter garden design features low-growing plants, exquisite flowers and small trees.

The interior of a garden in a house in the Avant-garde style is determined by the presence of an original approach not only to the room itself, but also to every object in it. A wide range of color palettes and colors add unusualness and shockingness.

The design of a winter garden in the Art Nouveau style conveys style, sophistication, expressiveness and richness of the color palette.

There is still a very wide variety of types of design solutions. Each has its own distinctive feature, which distinguishes the winter garden of your home by varying degrees of elegance and uniqueness.

By the way, you may be interested in material about which one is better.

You can make a winter garden with your own hands. There are difficulties in the design, and therefore it is best to take the help of experienced specialists in this particular field. Because organizing a glass extension has a special approach. When building a winter garden, it is necessary to observe some important points:

1. Choose a location for the extension, taking into account all the parameters. This is the influence of climatic conditions and external factors.
2. During construction, think through the smallest details that need to be constructed during the construction period, and not after it.
3. Do not immediately fill the constructed extension with a variety of plants on the first day. Initially check the functionality of all installed systems.
4. Do not neglect fire safety in the extension. Some heating systems may cause a fire.
5. Provide all necessary security measures to equip the extension with an alarm system. After all, a glass extension is an excellent place for intruders to enter the house.

Some tips for equipping your winter garden with decorations:

• install small fountains with lanterns that will turn on at night and create a warm and gentle atmosphere. Relaxing in such a room will be a heavenly pleasure;
• You can install any plants, but pay due attention to this. There is no need to plant a hundred types of plant varieties;
• installing a large aquarium with real fish will not only complement the interior of the winter garden, but will also enliven the room;
• install a TV or cinema, where it will be doubly pleasant to watch movies with family or friends, saturated not only with emotions, but also with fresh oxygen.

In this video you will be shown a project for a house with a winter garden.

A winter garden in a private home is an excellent solution not only to complement the house, but also to diversify its interior. This will allow you to expand the confines of your home to the available area. It is worth considering the following: if you want to add a winter garden, you need to thoroughly study all the main points so that the garden really brings benefit and not torment to the owners of the house.

A winter garden is an excellent opportunity to “preserve” a little summer, sun and greenery at home, which is so lacking in our latitudes, with their cold and grayness lasting almost six months. This is not only a great place for relaxation and recreation ( green, as is known, has positive psychophysical properties for humans), but also an indicator of a certain status of its owner.

Despite the fact that a winter garden is one of the most complex types of premises, which will require special knowledge in architecture, engineering and ornamental gardening, the use of modern materials and construction techniques to implement a house project with a winter garden will not be particularly difficult.

Projects of one-story and two-story houses And cottages with a winter garden may involve different approaches to their creation and use:

• buffer garden - acts as a transition zone between the street and living quarters; in fact, as a winter garden, it is used only in the warm season, so a heating system is not installed in it. In early spring, portable infrared emitters or electric heaters can be used for heating. For glazing a winter garden buffer, structures from aluminum profile and stained glass, as an option for the northern regions - lightweight double-glazed windows. An example of such a garden is a glazed veranda

• A residential garden is an integrated space in which both people and plants should feel comfortable. Most often this is a recreation area, but there may be options with a living room and with dining room. In most cases, the garden heating system is a general heating system; during design and construction, special attention is paid to heat conservation and waterproofing of structures. Plus - the ventilation system must ensure the maintenance of acceptable humidity, preventing the occurrence of mold and fungi, as well as metal corrosion

• greenhouse garden - the main indicators and conditions are adjusted taking into account the cultivation of flowers and plants, this is what becomes the priority and the selection and installation of all life-supporting systems depends on this. Most often, plants of tropical origin are grown in such gardens, so reliable metal-plastic bags are used as glazing and an integrated climate system is created. Such a garden is not used as a living space, but rather as a place for relaxation.

Project of a house with a winter garden: important features

Initially, it is important to decide on the direction where the winter garden will be located, because this will affect design decisions:

• The eastern direction is one of the most promising, primarily due to the long daylight hours. In summer it does not overheat much, but when calculating, you should definitely take into account the possibility of additional shading (in summer) and forced ventilation

• western direction - will allow you to save on heating, the heat accumulated during the day is retained for a long time. However, in the summer additional cooling (conditioning) of the air may be required, but in general this placement of the winter garden is ideal if it is planned to have a recreation area

• the southern direction is one of the most problematic, primarily due to the absorption of a large amount of heat, which will require additional costs for ventilation and watering plants, and air humidification. On the other hand, such placement is justified if you plan to create a greenhouse garden with heat-loving (tropical) flora

• north direction - such a garden accumulates heat minimally, so additional heating will be required, but you can save some money on ventilation. On the other hand, the winter garden will create a kind of buffer zone that prevents cold air from entering the living space in winter

A patio, or outdoor courtyard near a living space, can have different shapes and sizes. You can equip it by surrounding it on different sides with walls or fences, latticework or galleries, as well as a hedge of trees and shrubs.

A patio or outdoor courtyard near a living space can have different shapes and sizes

Before building a courtyard or patio on a country plot, it is necessary to draw up and calculate the project. Specialists and designers can offer to implement not only beautiful, but also original designs of such buildings, which are located both in front of the house and inside the household made of timber and stone. Professional design engineers most often use the option of comprehensive landscaping with the construction of the following types of patios:

• inside a four-walled courtyard, with fencing and gates;
• with one wall and decorative fencing;
• in the shape of a glass bulb in a house with a flat roof;
• corner type, adjacent to one of the walls of the house;
• with a fireplace wall for cooking over an open fire;
• with an artificial pond and decorations.

To obtain a complete and modern landscape design with proper arrangement of the patio, you can also take a closer look at ready-made projects or develop an individual landscaping plan.

Types of patio seating areas

There are several types of arrangement of patio areas in the local area, but the most popular are corner buildings, courtyards at the back wall of the household, balcony and multi-level accommodation, as well as a solarium patio and a romantic patio with a barbecue area.

Gazebo-patio for relaxing in the country

Traditional construction with a roof made of strong and durable materials that can protect from the sun and precipitation. Most often, the roof is made of translucent polycarbonate, and the walls are made of lattice, which allows climbing perennials and annual flowering crops to be planted around the perimeter.

Romantic patio in the courtyard of a country house

Mediterranean style decoration is extremely popular. If you decide to create a relaxation area with your own hands for romantic meetings and evenings for two, then it is best to choose a place in the most remote corner of the garden, where you can have privacy, and also create the most attractive design against the backdrop of greenery and flowers. The site being performed can be either open or closed with dense vegetation, decorative fences, or a fabric canopy.

Projects of houses combined with a patio area

The need to combine home ownership with a recreation area requires the development of a special project. In this case, it is advisable to give preference to the most popular trends, including an open layout and a combination of kitchen and dining room. The home can have a traditional pitched roof or a flat roof.

The second option allows you to use the roof surface as a green terrace. In terms of planning, houses with a traditional pitched roof are most often built around a courtyard. In this case, a comfortable living room combined with a kitchen should be equipped with panoramic windows and access to a covered patio.

Patio with barbecue for meeting friends

When choosing a place in the country to create a recreation area with a barbecue, several of the most important nuances must be taken into account. According to fire safety rules, no tree branches or bushes should hang over the site being created. To decorate such an area, potted crops, artificial ponds or decorative fountains can be used.

It is advisable to locate the site in close proximity to the household, which will allow for the supply of an electrical network and a water supply system. The traditional rectangular shape of the site is allowing you to conveniently place pieces of furniture and the grill itself, but round or oval areas with a barbecue look very impressive for relaxing with a large company or family.

Multi-level patio

The original version of a multi-level patio is optimally suited for arrangement in areas with a shortage of free space. Among other things, it is precisely such recreation areas that are most relevant if the owner of a country property plans to use this element of garden design not only for entertainment and relaxation, but also for other purposes. With a whimsical appearance, a multi-level patio option, which includes several types of cut floors, is perfect for decorating in modern styles.

Choosing furniture for a relaxation area in the garden

A properly executed patio includes several traditional elements, represented by small areas for recreation, an area for household needs, an artificial reservoir in the form of a pool or pond with a fountain, a drainage system, landscaped areas in the form of lawns or flower beds, as well as collections of plants.

The main elements must be carried out in the same style; this will emphasize the entire isolation of the recreation area being equipped, therefore special attention is paid to the correct choice of furniture. First you need to decide whether the furniture will be outdoors throughout the year or removed indoors with the onset of winter. Outdoor furniture has different purposes, therefore, it is advisable to purchase entire sets, including sun loungers, chairs or armchairs, benches and tables.

It should be remembered that furniture made of cast iron or stone is incredibly beautiful, but most often it is stationary, so for a small patio, it is advisable to purchase lighter furniture made of plastic, bamboo, cane or rattan.

How to make a wooden patio at your dacha with your own hands

Wood is a natural, environmentally friendly and comfortable material for spending time, which is quite affordable for purchase and easy to work with. It is for these reasons that many owners of country real estate are increasingly giving preference to wooden buildings in the recreation area.

Choosing and preparing a place for a patio

To begin work on the construction of the patio, you will need to mark the area in accordance with the project. Recreation areas with wooden floors look great, and a light floor board allows you to visually enlarge the area. There are several ways to lay a wooden floor:

• the use of hardwood, including ash and oak, which are most resistant to negative street influences;
• fixation of modern decking boards or decking, most often represented by a combination of wood and plastic derivatives, which makes it possible to take advantage of the specific resistance of polymers to external factors.

Laying of construction and finishing materials is carried out on wooden or metal logs installed on a previously cleaned and marked surface.

Many country property owners increasingly prefer wooden buildings in recreation areas

Construction of the main structure

An above-ground structure for relaxation can be made in the form of a spacious area, lined with traditional wooden boards, and equipped with several sections with areas for placing a fireplace, a seating area with furniture and a decorative artificial pond. To protect personal space from prying eyes, walls are erected, which can have very different heights - from a few centimeters to a couple of meters.

Steps, walls and arches of the patio, as a rule, are made of the same building and finishing materials that were used for cladding the home. In this way, it is possible to show a smooth transition from the building to the patio for relaxation. If a barbecue area is being set up in the area, then in this case only non-flammable and fire-resistant materials are used, which should not only be resistant to fire, but also durable. If the site fencing is made in the form of a lattice, then it is allowed to decorate the walls with climbing vegetation.

An above-ground structure for recreation can be made in the form of a spacious platform covered with traditional wooden boards

Making an Inexpensive Patio Cover

If you need to build an inexpensive canopy, first of all, you need to decide on the choice of its design. This design can be done:

• in the form of a gazebo;
• in the form of a terrace;
• in the form of a visor;
• in the form of an imitation porch.

The canopy structure can be attached or free-standing. The materials for constructing a canopy can be:

• tree;
• profiled flooring;
• sheet polycarbonate;
• plexiglass;
• colored euroslate;
• metal tiles;
• thick fabric.

Particularly popular are decorative canopies, which are optimal for decoration and serve as an original addition to the overall style of all country buildings.

When constructing a structure yourself, it is very important to consider the following basic rules:

• the canopy is made with a minimum slope of 5-10%, which will not allow snow and water to accumulate on the surface;
• when arranging a place to relax, you need to count on two square meters per person;
• The optimal dimensions for arranging a patio with a barbecue are 4x6 m.

The support can be made of concrete, wood or metal. Depending on the design features, the canopy over the seating area can be:

• direct, the easiest to manufacture and well protected from direct sunlight;
• inclined, single-slope and gable type, preventing the accumulation of water and snow on the surface;
• complex, arched, dome, polygonal and pyramidal shapes based on flexible materials, including profiled sheets and polycarbonate.

Particularly popular are decorative canopies, which are optimal for decoration and serve as an original addition to the overall style of all country buildings. Any decorative canopy, if desired, can perform enclosing and protective functions.

The canopy is made with a minimum slope of 5-10%, which will not allow snow and water to accumulate on the surface

Fencing and landscaping of the recreation area

The flora planted in the recreation area should be represented by vegetation that will easily create an unobtrusive and relaxing atmosphere of well-being and complete tranquility. It is very undesirable to use for landscaping purposes too bright and very colorful, fragrant flowers that secrete a large amount of nectar. Such vegetation tends to attract pollinating insects, including various flies, midges, bumblebees and bees, which can interfere with outdoor recreation. Low-growing conifers will complement the design of the constructed recreation area in a very original and harmonious way.

Patio area lighting

In the process of decorating the constructed site, it is necessary to resolve the issue of supplying electricity, but the installed lamps must create a calm, matte lighting that does not dazzle the eyes. The appearance of the lamps can be in the same style as the overall design of the patio or, on the contrary, it should create a bright and original accent on certain areas of the alternative living room. Lighting along the edge of a covered or open area, carried out along the entire perimeter, allows you to emphasize the shape of the patio, and also provides complete security, being a very practical lighting system.

The entrance to the house is provided on the south side. Block A is located here, it houses the kitchen, service area and guest room. Block B is an open plan living and dining room with access to the garden to the north and a small courtyard with birch trees to the south. Block C houses the children's bedrooms facing east to experience the gentle morning sun. The master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and library studio are located in Block D, offering stunning views of the Andean mountain range. All rooms are connected to internal themed courtyards, which are equipped thanks to the interesting architecture of the building. In addition, the estate has a beautiful front garden, a parking area, and an orchard.
