Cómo diseñar un oasis exterior alrededor de tu piscina y jardín

Diseñar un espacio exterior alrededor de una piscina o jardín no consiste únicamente en colocar una pérgola o añadir una zona de sombra. Un buen proyecto debe integrar orientación solar, viento, privacidad, materiales, iluminación, vegetación, mobiliario, circulación y uso real del espacio.

En la Costa del Sol, donde terrazas, jardines y zonas de piscina se disfrutan durante gran parte del año, una pérgola bien planteada puede transformar por completo la forma de vivir una vivienda. Pero si el diseño exterior no está bien pensado, incluso una buena estructura puede quedar desaprovechada.

Los clientes suelen enfocarse primero en la pérgola o en el precio, pero olvidan una pregunta fundamental:

¿Cómo quiere vivir realmente ese espacio exterior?

En este artículo explicamos cómo diseñar un oasis exterior alrededor de su piscina y jardín, qué factores debe valorar antes de elegir una pérgola y cómo combinar sombra, confort, estética y durabilidad.

Si está en una fase inicial, le recomendamos leer primero qué deberías saber antes de solicitar presupuesto para una pérgola a medida.

What is a bioclimatic pergola?

In areas such as Marbella, Estepona and Mijas, bioclimatic pergolas have become especially popular due to the high sun exposure and outdoor lifestyle throughout most of the year.

A bioclimatic pergola is an aluminium structure with adjustable slats that create a micro‑climate under the roof. The term bioclimatic refers to its ability to adapt to climatic conditions.
