Engineering and aesthetics in perfect harmony: this is our double-span Altea pergola.

Discover our latest project, the installation of a double-span Altea bioclimatic pergola, specifically designed to adapt to the needs of this residence, incorporating different technologies to create distinct environments that adapt to the needs of the home at all times. We tell you all the details of this project and how. la The installation of the pergola has meant a change in the use given to the terrace, taking advantage of the outdoor area much more. 

How was the installation process step by step?

• Telephone contact with the sales team: The first telephone contact allowed us to establish fluid communication with the client to Learn firsthand about your needs, project ideas, and specifics of the home, explaining the different options available.

• In-person home visit: This phase is critical, as it allows us to understand every detail firsthand, both of the architectural environment and the specific conditions of the space. In this case, the terrace dimensions required the installation of a pergola of specific dimensions, so the first step was to take exact measurementsThe height of the terrace and the dimensions to be covered presented a challenge; a structure was needed that could cover a large area without compromising the aesthetics or functionality of the outdoor area, so We opted together with the client for the choice of double span.

• Choice of finishes, colors and accessories: Once the structural characteristics were defined, the customization phase began so that The pergola will integrate perfectly with the architectural style of the houseIn this project, we looked for a color palette that matched the tones of the terrace and the facade of the house.

Besides the colors, were personalized items like:

• Integrated LED lighting system with four intensity levels for each space, allowing to create different atmospheres according to the occasion.

• Smart rain and wind sensors for an automatic response to climate changes.

• Specific configuration of the slat opening system to optimize the entry of natural light according to the needs of each area of ​​the terrace.

• We draw up plans to facilitate the visualization of what the pergola will look like once installed. The plans are detailed Plan and elevation views of the pergola, as well as details of the exact distribution of the slats and other elements such as sensors and lighting systems.

The process of installing the pergola took about 4 days approximately, which included preparing the ground and anchoring points, installing the pergola pillars and anchoring them to the home's slab, installing the adjustable slat system, and installing the lighting systems and sensors. Finally, We check that the entire installation works correctly as planned.

CONFIGURE YOUR DOUBLE-SPAN BIOCLIMATIC PERGOLA IN ALTEA

Project features

To determine the measurements of the pergola, a detailed study of the dimensions of the terraceThe goal was to maximize the covered area without oversizing the structure, maintaining a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics.

Dimensions and structural configuration

The chosen configuration is a Double-span pergola measuring 5,75 metres wide by 6,30 metres long, which covers almost the entire terrace. These measurements allow for the creation of a completely habitable outdoor area, with a surface area that allows for the creation of different uses in the same spaceOne of the particularities of this project is the height of the pergola, which is 4 metersThis design solves one of the problems with this terrace, which was water seeping into the basement on rainy days. Furthermore, The structure is supported by two pillars resting directly on the floor of the terrace., while the back part is anchored to the home's floor.

Adjustable slat system

Integrated LED lighting

The pergola incorporates a LED lighting system designed specifically for create custom environmentsEach span has its own lighting line, controllable independently with four levels of intensityThis allows lighting to be fully modulated to personalize the user experience, giving you the ability to create dimly lit or fully illuminated environments. 

Rain sensor and wind sensor

The pergola reacts autonomously to changes in environmental conditions, so that Its built-in sensors react to environmental changesThe rain sensor activates when it detects the first drops and closes the slats to protect the terrace from the rain, while the wind sensor constantly measures wind speed and, when it detects gusts, partially opens the slats to reduce aerodynamic drag. 

Advantages of purchasing a double-span pergola

Using a Double-span bioclimatic pergola offered several advantages to this project., which have allowed for a much greater use to be made of an underutilized area of ​​the home:

• You can use it in any situation, even if it's raining. So you can enjoy the terrace 365 days a yearWhen it's sunny, the light doesn't shine directly on you, so it's not bothersome.

• Generate a pleasant temperature under the pergola, especially in summer.

• The double span allows create two distinct spaces within the terrace; the table area, located under one of the two openings, and the area where the outdoor furniture, where you can sit and relax. The double bay It allows you to play with the opening of the slats to give more or less light to each of the areas. from the terrace and even from the house. This way, the pergola can be used by several users with different preferences while using the same space.

• With the capacity to join modules of up to 7.300 x 4.750 mm, this structure allows cover a large area without the need to use intermediate columns, thus maximizing the useful space and maintaining a certain visual continuity.

• Total transparency from the first contact, paying attention to the smallest details of the installation so that the design, materials, and accessories of the pergola were as desired by the client and suited the needs of the terrace. 

Once the installation is complete, we perform a monitoring process that allows us to confirm that the installed product fully meets the customer's expectations and we help you resolve any questions about how it works.

How was the design of the pergola decided?

In this project, one of the main objectives was achieve visual continuity between the pergola and the architectural and natural elements surrounding the home. To achieve this, we considered the following aspects:

• The predominant tones on the façade of the house

• The pavement materials and finishes from the terrace

• The outdoor furniture colors existing

• The shades of the landscape next to the terrace

All these details ended up determining the finish and final aesthetics of the pergola.

At SIX96, we continue to focus on solutions that combine design, functionality, and carefully designed installation. This Altea double-span pergola project is another example of how we tailor each project to the needs of each client who places their trust in us, creating unique spaces for maximum enjoyment.
