Pergolas Residential
The holiday idea offered by Villa Artemis combines many concepts of relaxation: the comfort of a sunny and design location, the calmness of a lush landscape and an outdoor area with pool to use flexibly, thanks to the modular covering of the Rialto pergola by Pratic.
The modern and design vacation home, in the heart of Istria, and about thirty kilometres away from Rovigno’s beaches, extends on a single floor, thus opening each space through the use of wide windows and sliding glass walls which, in the living area, expand along the whole wall height.
An open space that the owners wanted to expand further towards the outdoors, thus giving continuity between the indoors and the outdoors, to fully enjoy the charming pool area.
The project required therefore a covering in line with the refined style of the house, which could combine the need of a total opening on the panorama and the protection against sun and bad weather. Rialto presents all these features, since through a retractable PVC covering, allows to expand the view towards the sky and to customise the wished degree of shade. The remote-controlled covering, is made of blockout, fireproof and waterproof fabric, which moves back compacting in a small space. Once fully closed, the cloth protects the underlying space and makes the rainwater flow along the perimeter downpipes integrated into the pergola. Moreover, to enjoy the open-air wellbeing even at night, the Rialto’s cloth is equipped with Led Line lighting which lights up, with a refined warm white light, the wide dining room and the outdoor kitchen housed by the pergola.
The technical qualities go together with the unique made in Italy design by Pratic, determining the harmonious result in terms of aesthetic beauty and style. Designed by the Slovenian dealer Ombra, the outdoor space of Villa Artemis is an integral part of the building: that’s the result of the great flexibility of Rialto that, for each single module, can reach wide dimensions without needing intermediate post profiles.
Thanks to the aluminium profiles with a thickness of 32 centimetres only and a two wall-mounted installation with only one upright, Rialto perfectly frames the glass wall of 5 meters placed in the living area, becoming almost invisible from the inside and thus preserving the panoramic view.
From the outside instead, the pergola further enhances the beauty of the vacation home through smooth lines and a smart use of colour, recalling, for the structure, the pepper grey of the building profiles and, for the cloth, the white nuance of the stone.
A comfortable, refined and functional space that – not by chance – Villa Artemis’ guests choose to enjoy all year round; to shelter from the warm summer sun of Croatia or to admire, from a privileged and cosy view, the beauty of nature which changes with the passing seasons.
