This gorgeous pool cabana was designed to be used for all seasons. The architecture matches nicely with the style of the traditional home and has beautiful woodwork throughout. The interior gives a tropical feel with fans, lots of windows and tall ceilings. The client wanted the detached cabana house to feel like it was part of the main home. Complete with year round temperature control with heating and cooling for the Chicagoland climate. This cabana includes an exterior shower, full bathroom, kitchen area with tv, stereo and other amenities at your fingertips to help it become an extension of the main home. There is a customized awning to protect loungers from the sun if needed that extends over the paver pool decking near the natural stone outdoor kitchen area. A great place to enjoy all seasons.

Per enfatizzare il legame tra l’abitazione e il rigoglioso giardino che la circonda, tutte le aperture principali sono state ampliate e sostituite da porte e finestre scorrevoli mentre lo spazio dell’androne, prima chiuso da una parete, ora ospita una grande porta d’ingresso vetrata che consente alla luce naturale di entrare con maggiore intensità. Una nuance beige che richiama il colore caldo della terra e della sabbia è stata utilizzata, con la stessa finitura, sia per le pareti degli interni sia nelle volumetrie esterne caratterizzate da forme e altezze differenti. La scelta dei colori e dei materiali fa sì che il giardino diventi a tutti gli effetti luogo domestico tanto quanto lo spazio living coperto: le lastre di basalto utilizzate nell’androne adiacente al salone sono state posate anche nella pavimentazione del salottino in cemento sotto il “loggiato” preesistente e nella nuova terrazza che ospita il barbecue. Negli interni color sabbia la tonalità del parquet in rovere rustico contribuisce invece a scaldare gli ambienti e a donare una sensazione di fluidità tra il soggiorno e la cucina. Quest’ultima, non più separata da pareti come nel progetto originale, mantiene comunque un certo grado di intimità grazie alla disposizione del piano di lavoro in quarzo (Okite Santa Margherita) e alla presenza dello scenografico pilastro nero che crea una sorta di separé a contrasto. Da qui, tramite un’altra grande porta-finestra, si accede nuovamente al giardino verso un sapiente gioco di pareti che nasconde con eleganza la doccia e il lavabo esterni e costituisce a tuti gli effetti un oggetto architettonico a sé. La pulizia delle linee e l’omogeneità del colore fanno da tela per le ombre della vegetazione. Il rovere si ritrova ancora nelle camere da letto, compresa quella padronale al primo superiore, alla quale si accede grazie a due rampe di scale: la prima, realizzata su misura, possiede un forte carattere espressivo grazie alle sue linee squadrate inscritte nell’arco della copertura e al connubio tra il legno con cui è realizzata e il basalto su cui poggia; il corrimano nero accompagna alla seconda rampa, stavolta classica. Per i bagni, sobri e moderni come il resto degli ambienti, sono state scelte piastrelle di ceramica. Noi di Vetroblu siamo molto soddisfatti del buon riscontro avuto dal progetto, considerato soprattutto il grande lavoro di squadra messo in atto in tutte le fasi dello shooting. Trattandosi di una abitazione per le vacanze è stato necessario intervenire sugli arredi per creare un set design che facesse emergere le forme e i materiali studiati dai progettisti pur rispettando la natura informale della vita tipica delle case "al mare". Foto di sopralluogo alla mano si è quindi deciso di eliminare tutto il superfluo per dare spazio a quei pochi elementi necessari ad identificare i diversi ambienti. Nel salone, attorno al camino (Palazzetti - A70 Ecofire), son rimaste le sedute rustiche dai toni neutri e un mobile tv in cui sono stati inseriti a mo' di gioco il libro dell'Odissea e il cane del ceramista Raku di Cagliari. In contrasto come i cuscini neri, un contenitore in vetro con le conchiglie trovate dai proprietari dialoga con la legna disposta nella cesta di fianco al camino, a ricordare non solo le giornate estive passate insieme nella casa di famiglia ma anche quelle invernali. In cucina si è deciso di mantenere una delle sedie in legno e vimini gialle e di rafforzare il gioco di colori inserendo come unico elemento decorativo un vaso nero in pendant con il pilastro e il piano di lavoro in quarzo e dei fiori secchi di un giallo intenso. La cappa (Elica - Juno Urban) e lo sgabello riportano a un mood più moderno. Nella camera da letto padronale è stata sostituita la biancheria da letto prediligendo toni naturali e rilassanti.

Contemporary Patio with an Outdoor Shower 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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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.
