Realize the importance of having a pool harmonized with the landscape and other landscape architectural tips that you should take into account when building your garden.
Water – the soul of the garden
As a living organism in constant growth, the garden depends on the presence of water to survive. It is essential for transporting the sap of plants, providing food for their growth, keeping them looking healthy and healthy.
From an early age gardeners, designers and landscapers have learned to take advantage of the need for water to raise the scenic quality of the gardens. Leading the water to the places where it is needed, the range of structures that allow users to enjoy their freshness, exploring microclimates, sounds and scenery, is immense. The presence of fountains, water channels, aqueducts, lakes and waterfalls is a constant from the classic garden to the garden of our houses today.
The garden with swimming pool
Currently the pool is probably the most commonly used water element in small to medium sized gardens, especially in private gardens. It enhances human activity and interaction between adults and children, allowing a fresh bath in the summer and games and games among the younger ones, also regulating the temperature and humidity of the surrounding space. A custom designed pool is the touch of perfection and refinement your garden needs.
Importance at the aesthetic level
Besides its more active functions, it is a scenic element that interferes, throughout the year and directly, in the aesthetic quality of its garden and dwelling. The way it is drawn should be structured in harmony with the surroundings, in order to maximize its profit. It is essential to choose the location with the best sun exposure, balancing it with shadows that allow shelter in the hotter hours, as well as balancing the water surface with the outdoor area available for sunbathing and recreational activities.
The personalized design of the pool allows it to fit in any space, allowing the inclusion of decorative elements that value the space and the sense of spaciousness of the space.
Pools with good landscape architecture projects take advantage of the surroundings, fitting harmoniously in the landscape. Excellent examples are the infinite pools, whose boundaries merge with the horizon, creating the feeling of spaciousness and serenity.
In smaller gardens, the pool becomes a structuring element, which confers serenity and creates an intimate setting, perfect for relaxing in a sunny afternoon, reading a book or simply enjoying the refreshing touch of water.
What is the best pool for you?
There are endless solutions to include a pool in your garden, adaptable to the most varied dimensions and budgets. The key to achieving the perfect solution is the creativity and the development of customized solutions by designers with knowledge about the design of gardens and outdoor spaces.
The biological pool
In natural environments, rural tourism spaces, farms or rural properties, the biological pool is a perfect alternative to the conventional swimming pool, fitting into the landscape and the garden in a unique way, adding a touch of originality to your space.
The biological pool is designed based on the deep knowledge of the use of vegetation to purify the water, avoiding the use of chemicals and other harmful treatments to purify the water. Its base structure has a bathing area, water filtration area for plants, and decorative areas, the latter similar to traditional swimming pools.
The ecological pool has reduced maintenance levels since complex cleaning and filtering systems are not normally used and is a key element of biodiversity since the area of plants serves that purpose.
When considering these ideas, you can better think about the pool you want and how it will fit into your garden. When we do a landscape design project for a garden with swimming pool we take into account all these aspects, which allow you to make it more beautiful aesthetically, more functional and perfectly integrated into the landscape, maximizing the benefit that can be drawn from this combination.
