Podere Il Casale in Pienza

In the stunning setting of the Val d’Orcia at the renowned Podere il Casale restaurant in Pienza, we were commissioned to design and build a self-supporting custom-made pergola.

The self-supporting circular sector structure blends perfectly with the farmhouse and the surrounding environment, leaving the right space for nature itself. The moon-shaped cruise, specially reinforced with U-profiles, is supported by four columns connected with a slight slope by reinforced pylons to the canals, supported in turn by ten uprights. The perimeter beams act as a gutter and channeling of rainwater, which is then collected inside the uprights. The micro-perforated shading cover was created specifically to guarantee shelter from the sun for customers who want to enjoy the beautiful panorama perhaps while sipping a glass of wine while two openings leave the scene for the surrounding trees.

The work is protected against aging by hot dip galvanizing which guarantees resistance for decades exceptional to corrosion caused by atmospheric agents, in any situation. In addition to the complete recyclability of the pergolas, their durability and absence of maintenance are the best in terms of eco-sustainability and environmental protection. The structure has been combined with Gaia furnishings, including tables in various sizes from the Sirio line , bases Bistro with aged travertine tops and Carlotta chairs with wooden seat and back.
