Whether by the sea or in the mountains, by the lake or in the countryside, pools have always been a summer dream for many people, a meeting place where you can lose yourself in its atmosphere, nature, beauty and relaxation. The space around the water thus plays a crucial role in determining the success of a “pool space”, since people often only spend a limited amount of time in the pool. Indeed, it is the pool’s integration with the surrounding area that provides emotions and an overall sense of enjoyment. It is therefore necessary to pay attention to the surrounding area to make the outdoor experience complete.
The Atlantic Park Hotel is a resort located in the charming area of Fiuggi and offers a structure designed for an unforgettable stay experience. Among its highlights stands the wellness center with a SPA, an immersive wellness environment in which the Panaria Ceramica collection, in porcelain stoneware stone effect, blends with the contemporaneity of cement surfaces, giving the environment a modern soul. The surfaces of the poolside flooring are specifically designed to provide the right degree of grip and resistance to atmospheric agents, as well as absorption of water, chlorine and chemical agents.
The Castello Tolcinasco Golf Resort & Spa, which dates back to the 16th century, provides the backdrop to a more modern facility equipped with tennis courts, a Club House, Pro Shop, 3 putting greens and a golf driving range with 50 outdoor and 10 covered tees that make it one of the most exclusive and sophisticated clubs in Italy. There is also an outdoor swimming pool that offers members and their guests an elegant setting for the year’s hottest months. Envisaging a place designed for complete relaxation, just a few kilometres from the centre of Milan, the choice of materials fell on the Bioarch collection inspired by natural quartzite, which conveys the charm of authentically elegant stone outdoors. The strength of porcelain stoneware, which is durable and resistant to weathering and low temperatures, makes the collection a perfect choice for outdoor use.
In Mount Eliza, an exclusive seaside location in Mornington, Australia, stands the Mt. Eliza Residence, a modern architectural complex designed by the Caisson Architects studio, which fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape and conveys elegance, brightness, and hospitality. From the external area, where it is possible to indulge in a break with a pool view, one accesses the interiors of the residence, characterized by large windows capable of restoring brightness and airiness to the rooms. For the outdoor paving, the **stone effect** collection by Panaria Ceramica was used in the structured finish with a 20mm thickness and 45x90 cm format, for a continuity between indoor and outdoor.
Thanks to lush landscapes and a climate mitigated by the presence of the nearby river, the city of Králův Dvůr enjoys a truly privileged geographical position in the region of Central Bohemia, in the Czech Republic. It is here that **a house with pure volumes and clean lines** is developed, which is striking for the skillful use of a mix of materials, including wood, stone, and ceramics. In particular, outside where the geometric composition of volumes comes into relation with the garden and the pool, underlining the harmonic continuity between inside and outside. To emphasize this continuity, the **stone effect** collection by Panaria Ceramica was chosen, which transmits the same material solidity as the many local stones positioned in the garden.
Panaria Ceramica has always interpreted the home and spaces as expressions of personality. Thanks to its ability to swiftly capture the most contemporary styles and to its chosen vocation for the residential sector, the company can channel its expertise into all its products, including those designed for outdoor use. Consequently, thanks to its deep expertise, the best production technologies and its in-depth material research, Panaria Ceramic can offer perfect solutions for a summer spent outdoors in different settings that become places of well-being for anyone who uses them.
