Winter Gardens - Simply Extending Summer

"With a winter garden, the homeowner expands their living space by a crucial quality. They not only create more living space but, above all, bring a livable piece of nature into their own four walls.

Virtually all ideas and concepts can be realized with traditional or modern materials. Whether single or multi-story, round, triangular, or square, rustic, playful, or modern – the builder can achieve anything, ensuring their new winter garden perfectly integrates into the existing ambiance."

When planning a winter garden, various ideas often play a role, as it can be much more than just a seating area in the green. A winter garden is not only where frost-sensitive garden inhabitants overwinter or young plants await their move to the outdoor bed. On sunny days, a winter garden can significantly improve a house's energy balance.

Provided the winter garden has a favorable orientation, the sun can bring a large amount of warmth into the entire house over the course of a day, even in the depths of winter. Thus, the winter garden actively helps to save heating costs.

If you're planning a winter garden that's meant to achieve this, it's absolutely advisable to hire a professional. They'll ensure all materials are perfectly coordinated and that pleasant temperatures prevail throughout the year with the help of sensible ventilation and shading.

"If for you the term wellness means much more than just the peace and relaxation that living with plants brings, you can design your winter garden accordingly. During planning, you can ensure you integrate enough space for elements that promote relaxation and well-being.

This could include relaxation loungers with color light therapy, fitness equipment, a pool or Jacuzzi, a sauna and steam bath, or even a high-quality sound system, so you can rediscover your inner peace and pamper your mind and body amidst the most beautiful plants.

Therefore, you should determine early on what expectations you have for a winter garden, not only to define its shape and size but also its function in your home."
