UN JARDIN PARA MIUN JARDIN PARA MI
UN ÁTICO EN LA MORALEJA Hacer habitable y bonito un ático grande es uno de los retos más complicados a los que se enfrenta un diseñador de exteriores. Los presupuestos se disparan y es difícil rentabilizar la inversión. Esta terraza de grandes dimensiones es un buen ejemplo de esta problemática, aunque los clientes están muy contentos con el resultado y disfrutan tanto de la habitabilidad como de la variedad de plantación de bajo mantenimiento que se les propuso. El proyecto incluye zona de descanso y lectura, zona de comedor sombreado por una pérgola vegetal, y un salón exterior acotado con especies muy floridas y fragantes. Los principales elementos estructurales lo conforman dos pérgolas, una de ellas instalada dentro de una estructura de obra existente, y otra construida con uno de sus lados apoyados sobre la fachada del edificio. Ambos elementos de sombreamiento se caracterizan por tener líneas puras horizontales, construidas con materiales muy duraderos y una paleta de color compatible con las especificaciones de la urbanización. A nivel de suelo, los espacios se organizan gracias a la disposición de los conjuntos de jardineras, con plantación de interés formal y especialmente seleccionada para aguantar las condiciones extremas del ático y soportar períodos relativamente largos sin atención, a causa de los frecuentes viajes de los propietarios. La propiedad se ha encariñado con los frutales y aromáticas, siendo una de las características de la terraza que más disfrutan.

The whole area is wonderfully light and bright and the porcelain paving requires very little maintenance. With the view down to the rest of the garden, this is a great space to enjoy straight from the house.

Modern Courtyard Patio Ideas and Designs

Patios are the go-to solution for turning your garden, or part of it, into an outdoor living area. A well-laid patio will integrate your home seamlessly into your garden, providing a solid and level surface for garden furniture and potted plants. Well designed patios are about more than just paving slabs – its positioning and layout are crucial to how much you enjoy this space. Before you start picking out patio ideas for materials and laying your modern patio, ask yourself important questions such as what will you use it for? How many people should it accommodate? Which part of your garden has the best aspect and sunlight? Will the patio have enough privacy?

How should I position my patio?

If you are designing your modern patio as a space for entertaining then make sure it’s wide enough for the garden furniture you want so you haven’t got guests tipping over into the flowerbeds. Don’t be wedded to the idea of having your modern patio attached to the house; think about positioning yours elsewhere in the garden if that space doesn’t offer the best aspect or lighting position. Consider the position of the sun through the course of the day and depending on whether you are most likely to want to dine outside at breakfast, have lunch on your patio or host dinner outside, you may want to position your patio differently. You can connect patios to your house with a footpath or stepping stones to allow easy transportation of food and drink.

How should I design and lay my modern patio?

Rectangles are the classic shape for patios, not least because they make the most efficient use of space and can be softened with garden edging. However, a rounded patio or a paving circle can perfectly complement a garden which isn’t linear in design. Paving slabs come in an extensive range of materials and are the most practical surface for patios. Yorkstone has the most traditional appeal, whereas concrete blocks, granite and slate patio slabs have a great texture and colour for modern gardens. Natural stones such as limestone, travertine and Indian sandstone vary in colour and finish and are a great way to add shade and texture to your patio. For some patio ideas that offer an alternative to block paving, loose material such as crushed stone and wood chippings have a rustic and more casual feel; if there are specific materials that re-occur elsewhere in the garden, you could repeat this in your choice of patio materials for consistency. Finally, it’s not a British summer without the great British barbeque, so look at patio ideas that incorporate barbeques and think about how you could accommodate one on your patio.

What garden furniture does my patio need?

Rattan garden furniture is a patio favourite, offering a durable, attractive finish that blends well into natural surroundings. Metal garden furniture and wooden garden furniture are sturdy alternatives available in many styles. Weight is a good feature in garden furniture to stop it from being blown away, but if you want to be able to move your furniture around the patio and garden to follow the sun you won’t want to go too heavy. Browse the various modern patio ideas that include garden furniture to see what styles of furniture go with different types of patios. If you find a particular patio set you like, you may be able to ask the designer where the furniture is from so you can look at buying the same set for your patio. Good, outdoor patio furniture crafted in high-quality materials should withstand bad weather, but cold, wet British winters followed by strong sun in the summer will be enough to weather even the best furniture, so it’s important to have somewhere, such as a shed, to store it when not in use for long periods of time. If you don’t have the space to store patio furniture, make sure that at least the cushions and umbrellas are stowed away out of the elements, and consider investing in a waterproof cover. One piece of furniture that might be able to stay out for a bit longer is a patio heater; it will warm any brave patio users and most modern designs are built to survive the cold weather. If you prefer something a bit more rustic than a patio heater, look at fire pits instead which will add warmth and an attractive centrepiece to your patio. If privacy or shade is an issue, then covering patio furniture with a parasol or sheltering patios with a gazebo or pergola are both smart patio ideas – these can be covered in climbing flowers or even wound with outdoor fairy lights for romantic evening lighting.
