with natural cross ventilation, generating a perfectly balanced environment for outdoor daily living during the majority of the year.
outdoor living cupolas can be produced in sizes ranging from 20m2 to 100m2. and like a pergola they provide a fabulous addition to any domestic situation.

with the introduction of furniture such as dining tables and sofas into the cupola, the space is quickly domesticated, and transformed into a spacious and luminous pergola.
its dimensions are generally larger than standard domestic spaces, allowing for free circulation, and generating the sensation of minimalist loft living. the introduction of removable timber decks on a gravel base accentuates the interiority, and makes it the favourite go-to place of any household.
there exists the option of introducing further enclosure through screens and curtains to extend the period of use by eliminating the currents of air. these screens can be rigid and transparent, such as solid polycarbonate, and can be fixed into the timber frame, and removed or installed as the seasons evolve. the screens allow the cupolas to be heated either passively by solar radiation, or by the application of space heater.
