I have always had a great relationship with nature, no wonder, I have lived in the countryside since I was a child. After leaving my family home, I did not consider any other option than to buy a house with my husband outside the city again. We were both clear about the interior. But I was given free rein in the garden. I had made several beds with flowers and vegetables, but I decided to dedicate a part of the garden to relaxing.

I could see myself in the solid wooden pergola right from the start. The idea of being able to take a book outside and read in the peace and shade, enjoying the opportunity to be undisturbed in nature, seemed absolutely perfect. I always imagined us in such a place during the sultry summer months and during the magical fall. Another great advantage of such a structure is that it can be retrofitted with building elements that will cast enough shade on all its inhabitants.
