#5572. Mediterranean Terrace: Harmony of Wood and Light Under the Open Sky

The exquisite terrace captured in the image represents a masterfully created transitional space between house and nature, embodying a contemporary Mediterranean style in the design of outdoor spaces for a country house. The wooden pergola with its expressive texture of untreated timber creates a protected yet airy space. The horizontal beams of the pergola form a rhythmic pattern, providing partial shade and adding architectural interest.

The central element of the composition is a massive dining table made of natural wood with a minimalist design, which harmoniously combines with industrial metal chairs. This union of natural and industrial materials creates a pleasing contrast. The hanging woven pendant lights add intimacy and textural diversity to the zone, their form echoing the natural motifs of the surrounding landscape.

The soft seating area with a deep sofa, adorned with rich blue cushions, invites relaxation and leisurely conversations. The surrounding greenery creates a natural backdrop and visually softens the structural elements of the design. The light-colored floor tiles reflect sunlight, visually expanding the space and creating a sense of freshness.

This project demonstrates the masterful application of indoor-outdoor living principles, where the boundary between interior and exterior spaces becomes increasingly blurred. To adapt such a solution in your own home, it's worth paying attention to the use of natural materials, thoughtful zoning, and the creation of a weather-protected space that maintains its connection with the surrounding nature.
