The Infinity-Edge IPE Deck Creates the Strongest Visual Impact for Sea-View Villas

For properties in Port d’Andratx, Deià, or the Tramuntana foothills with sea or mountain views, an IPE deck extending flush to the infinity pool edge delivers the most dramatic visual result. The rich, dark IPE boards create maximum contrast with pale stone coping and turquoise water, while running parallel to the infinity line draws the eye outward toward the view.

Critical design specifications: the decking must be installed flush-mounted with millimeter-precision at the water’s edge to create a seamless visual plane. Hidden drainage channels underneath prevent water accumulation at the wood-water interface. A generous sunbathing platform — minimum 3 meters deep on the view side — provides proportion and functionality. IPE is the only material we recommend for flush pool-edge installations: its density and natural oils provide superior moisture resistance at the critical contact point, and its minimal thermal expansion (compared to pine) reduces the risk of edge deformation.

A Poolside Pergola Defines the Most Functional Outdoor Living Zone

Pairing a wooden pool deck with an integrated pergola directly adjacent to the water creates a shaded lounging zone that transforms how you use the space. This is consistently the most-used area in our clients’ outdoor spaces — the pergola provides essential midday shade while defining a distinct outdoor room that works for morning coffee, afternoon reading, and evening entertaining.

Design the pergola posts to align with the decking grid for visual harmony. Run deck boards perpendicular to the pool edge in the lounging zone (visually separating it from circulation areas where boards run parallel). A 4 x 5 meter pergola provides comfortable shade for 6-8 people. Add outdoor curtains for wind protection, a ceiling fan integrated into the pergola structure for still summer days, and warm LED strip lighting concealed in the beam channels for ambient evening illumination.

Multi-Level Pool Decks Turn Hillside Slopes Into Design Features

For Mallorca’s hillside properties in Soller, Fornalutx, and Valldemossa, a sloping site is not a problem — it is an opportunity for the most architecturally interesting pool deck design. We create two or three interconnected levels: an upper dining and entertaining terrace, a middle pool-level sunbathing deck, and a lower garden transition zone.

Wide IPE steps (minimum 120 cm wide, 35 cm deep treads) connect the levels and double as informal seating during gatherings. Each level uses deck boards running in a different direction to visually define zones without walls or railings. Integrated LED step lighting ensures safety after dark and creates a dramatic night-time aesthetic. The key engineering consideration: each level requires independent substructure drainage, as water flowing from upper to lower levels without proper channeling creates soil erosion and moisture problems beneath the deck.

A Compact Plunge Pool With Diagonal Decking Makes Small Spaces Feel Larger

For urban Palma properties in Santa Catalina or Son Espanyolet where space is limited, a wraparound plunge pool deck using diagonal board orientation (45 degrees) maximizes the perception of space. The diagonal lines trick the eye into reading the area as larger than its actual dimensions.

Key design elements: use the same IPE wood for both the deck and a built-in bench that doubles as the pool’s edge. Integrate planters directly into the decking structure — one statement olive tree in a built-in planter anchors the space. Add a minimalist outdoor shower in brushed stainless steel. For rooftops where weight is a consideration, treated pine (lighter than IPE) may be the better choice — it still delivers the visual warmth while reducing structural load.

Natural Lagoon-Style Pool Decks Require the Highest Carpentry Skill

For clients who want their pool to feel like a natural Mallorcan landscape feature rather than a constructed element, we design organic-shaped pools with irregular decking perimeters. Instead of straight lines, the deck edge follows gentle curves — each IPE board at the water’s edge is individually templated and cut on site to follow the contour.

This design integrates large natural stone boulders, native Mediterranean planting (lavender, rosemary, dwarf palms), and gravel transition zones that soften the boundary between deck and garden. The result is a pool that appears to have always existed in the landscape. This approach requires our most experienced carpentry team — each curved board is a custom piece with zero room for error — and typically adds 30-40% to installation time compared to a rectangular pool deck of equivalent area. The reward is a truly one-of-a-kind outdoor space that no standard design can match.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best wood for a pool deck in Mallorca?

IPE tropical hardwood is our top recommendation — its density and natural oil content provide excellent moisture resistance and it stays cooler underfoot than composite materials (38-42°C vs 55-70°C in August sun).

How close can wooden decking be installed to the pool water?

IPE decking can be installed flush to the water’s edge with proper substructure drainage and stainless steel fasteners. Maintain a minimum 5 mm gap between decking and pool coping for thermal expansion.

Does wooden decking around a pool get slippery?

Quality hardwood like IPE has natural micro-texture providing good grip when wet. We can apply a subtle anti-slip treatment during installation without changing the wood’s appearance.

A Custom Wooden Pergola in IPE Costs Approximately 14,000 € and Lasts 50+ Years

A custom FIJI wooden pergola starts at approximately 8,000 € for a 4 x 4 meter structure in treated pine (excluding IVA and installation) and 14,000 € for the same dimensions in IPE. The structure integrates visually with wooden decking for a cohesive outdoor design language. The warmth of natural wood grain, the way light filters through slats, and the subtle fragrance of oiled timber on a warm evening — these sensory qualities are what make wood irreplaceable for many clients.

Structurally, an IPE pergola can span up to 5 meters between posts without intermediate support — sufficient for most residential applications. Maintenance requires re-oiling every 2-3 years, similar to wooden decking. A wooden pergola does not provide full rain protection (light rain passes between slats), but for Mallorca’s predominantly dry climate with approximately 300 sunny days per year, this is rarely a limitation. It does provide approximately 60-70% shade coverage depending on slat spacing and sun angle.

A Bioclimatic Aluminium Pergola Costs 18,000-35,000 € and Provides Full Climate Control

Bioclimatic pergolas use motorized adjustable aluminium louvres rotating up to 135 degrees, allowing precise control over shade, ventilation, and rain protection. When closed, the louvres create a watertight seal channeling rainwater into integrated gutters. Optional enhancements — motorized vertical screens, LED lighting systems, infrared heaters, and wind sensors — essentially create an outdoor room usable 12 months a year regardless of weather.

Leading brands installed in Mallorca include Corradi, Markilux, and Renson. A quality 4 x 4 meter system costs 18,000-35,000 € including installation (excluding IVA), depending on brand and options. Lifespan: 20-30 years with regular maintenance of mechanical components including motor servicing, seal replacement, and louvre calibration. The aesthetic is contemporary and technical — it makes a different visual statement than the organic warmth of wood. In Mallorca’s salt-heavy coastal air, aluminium requires annual washing to prevent pitting and corrosion at joints.

Side-by-Side Comparison: Wooden Pergola vs. Bioclimatic Aluminium for Mallorca

This comparison table covers the nine factors that actually matter when choosing between a wooden pergola and a bioclimatic system for your Mallorca terrace. Each data point reflects real-world performance in Mediterranean conditions — not manufacturer marketing claims.

The Hybrid Approach Delivers Wood’s Aesthetic at 60-70% of Bioclimatic Cost

An increasingly popular third option combines a wooden pergola structure with integrated technical elements. We build the main pergola in IPE or treated pine, then integrate motorized retractable canvas shades for flexible sun protection, discreet LED strip lighting concealed in beam channels, infrared heaters for cooler evenings, and weather-resistant outdoor curtains for wind protection and privacy.

This hybrid approach delivers the aesthetic warmth and authenticity of wood with much of the functionality of bioclimatic systems. Cost typically falls at 60-70% of a full bioclimatic installation. The trade-off: it is not fully waterproof when shades are retracted, so it works best for Mallorca’s predominantly dry climate rather than regions with frequent rainfall. For most of our clients, this represents the sweet spot between natural beauty and practical functionality.

Choose Based on How You Actually Use Your Outdoor Space

The best pergola is the one you will use most. If you prioritize year-round usability regardless of weather, love technology, and have the budget, a bioclimatic system is compelling. If you value natural materials, craftsmanship, a warmer aesthetic, and a more accessible price point, a wooden pergola — especially with hybrid enhancements — will delight you for decades.

Consider your usage pattern honestly. Do you entertain outdoors primarily in summer (wooden pergola is perfect) or do you want an outdoor dining room you can use in January rain (bioclimatic wins)? Do you enjoy the ritual of seasonal maintenance, or do you want a push-button experience? Visit our Palma workshop to see wood samples and discuss your project, or contact us for a consultation at your property. We collaborate with bioclimatic installers if you choose that route — many FIJI terrace projects include pergolas from both traditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a wooden pergola cost in Mallorca?

A custom FIJI wooden pergola starts at approximately 8,000 € for 4 x 4 meters in treated pine and 14,000 € in IPE (excluding IVA and installation). Larger or more complex designs are quoted individually after a site visit.

Do wooden pergolas provide rain protection?

Traditional slatted wooden pergolas provide partial rain protection as light rain passes between slats. For full rain protection, integrate retractable canvas shades or consider a bioclimatic system with watertight louvres.

Can a bioclimatic pergola be installed on an existing wooden deck?

Yes. Posts are anchored through the decking into the concrete base below. We coordinate with bioclimatic installers to ensure proper waterproofing at all anchor points.

Zone Your Terrace Like an Interior Floor Plan — Four Functional Areas

The single most transformative design principle for outdoor living in Mallorca is treating your terrace as a floor plan with four distinct functional zones — exactly as you would design the interior of your home. A well-zoned 50 m² terrace feels more spacious and usable than an undifferentiated 100 m² one because each zone supports a specific activity without visual or functional confusion.

Zone one — the dining zone. Place it adjacent to the kitchen or barbecue area for easy serving. Shelter it under a pergola for shade. Size the table for 8-10 guests even if your household is two people — Mallorca living is about hospitality.

Zone two — the lounge zone. Position it deeper into the garden or with the best view. Deep-seated sofas and armchairs arranged for conversation. Add a fire pit or outdoor fireplace for cooler evenings from October through April.

Zone three — the sun zone. Optimally oriented for maximum sun exposure. Sun loungers with side tables. An outdoor shower nearby is ideal for rinsing between swimming and lounging.

Zone four — the transition zone. Immediately outside the interior living space. Consistent flooring material visually connects indoors and outdoors. Potted plants and soft lighting create a gradual, pleasant threshold.

Natural Wood Stays Cooler Underfoot Than Any Alternative Material

This is the most overlooked factor in terrace design and the one that matters most in Mallorca’s August heat. On a 38°C afternoon with direct sun, here are the actual surface temperatures we measure: IPE wood — 38-42°C (walkable barefoot, warm but comfortable); treated pine — 40-45°C (comfortable with sandals); composite decking — 55-70°C (painful barefoot, uncomfortably hot even through sandals); porcelain tile — 48-58°C; natural limestone — 50-60°C.

The physics is straightforward: wood has low thermal conductivity and low thermal mass. It does not absorb and retain heat the way dense manufactured materials do. Composite decking, despite marketing claims, is essentially plastic bonded to wood fibers — and plastic gets hot. If you want a terrace where children can run barefoot from pool to lounger and you can walk comfortably at any time of day, natural wood is the clear winner.

Beyond temperature, wood ages with character. IPE develops a distinguished silver patina over 5-7 years. Treated pine deepens to a warm honey. By contrast, composite and ceramic surfaces look dated as trends change, and they cannot be refinished. Wood terraces can be sanded and re-oiled to look brand new at any point in their lifespan — composite and tile cannot.

Design for Five Senses — Not Just Visual Appeal

The terraces our clients genuinely love engage all five senses, creating a space of genuine restoration rather than just a place to sit outside.

Sight: layered lighting at three heights — ground-level path lights, mid-level wall and post lights, overhead pendant or string lights. This creates visual depth after dark that single-height lighting cannot achieve.

Sound: a small water feature or pool splash providing gentle background sound. Ornamental grasses planted at the terrace edge that rustle in Mallorca’s afternoon breezes. These natural sounds mask traffic and neighbor noise.

Scent: jasmine, lavender, and rosemary planted in integrated beds or large terracotta pots. Their fragrance intensifies in evening warmth — exactly when you are most likely to be using the terrace.

Touch: varied textures — smooth oiled wood underfoot, rough natural stone accents, soft outdoor cushions in weather-resistant linen.

Taste: a dedicated herb garden accessible from the dining zone — fresh basil, mint, and rosemary steps from the table during meals.

Invest Heavily in Permanent Elements — Furnish Modestly at First

This budget principle saves our clients from expensive regrets. Decking, pergola structure, integrated lighting, drainage systems, and built-in planters are permanent — or at least expensive and disruptive to change. Furniture, cushions, rugs, and decorative accessories are easily swapped seasonally.

Allocate your budget accordingly: invest 70-80% in the permanent elements and furnish more modestly at first. Upgrade cushions, tables, and decor over subsequent seasons. This approach also allows your terrace’s style to evolve with your taste, while the foundational design remains timeless. A quality IPE deck with a well-proportioned pergola looks beautiful with any furniture style — rustic Mediterranean, sleek contemporary, or bohemian eclectic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I design a terrace that works for both entertaining and daily relaxation?

Create separate dining and lounge zones connected visually but distinct functionally. A change in decking direction or a partial screen of plants defines the transition without walls.

What is the ideal terrace size for a Mallorca villa?

A minimum of 40-50 m² supports complete outdoor living with dining, lounging, and sunbathing zones. Smaller urban terraces (20-30 m²) work well with multi-functional furniture and clever zoning.

How do I protect terrace furniture from Mallorca’s intense sun?

Install a pergola or shade structure over seating and dining zones — this is the single most impactful investment. Choose weather-resistant materials (teak, powder-coated aluminium, Sunbrella fabrics) and use furniture covers during extended absences.

Why Fence Design Should Never Be an Afterthought

The most common mistake we see in Mallorca is treating the fence as a final accessory rather than an integral part of the outdoor design. A fence installed after the terrace and pergola often clashes in material tone, grain direction, and visual weight — creating a space that feels assembled rather than designed. At FIJI, we design fences as part of the complete outdoor system from the first sketch.

A well-designed fence does four things simultaneously. It creates privacy without visual heaviness. It manages Mallorca’s Tramuntana winds, which can reach 100 km/h in winter. It defines property boundaries with legal clarity. And it unifies the visual language of your entire outdoor space — matching wood tones with decking, aligning post spacing with board joints, and integrating lighting, planters, or climbing vine supports directly into the structure.

The result is a fence that feels inevitable — as if it always belonged there — rather than an addition that competes with everything else.

IPE Wood Fences: Maximum Longevity and Visual Warmth

IPE tropical hardwood is our top recommendation for fence infill panels and gates in Mallorca. With a Janka hardness of 3,680 lbf and natural oil content that resists rot, insects, and salt spray, IPE performs beautifully in coastal conditions where softer woods deteriorate within a decade.

An IPE fence lasts 40-50+ years with basic maintenance — annual washing and re-oiling every 3-4 years. The rich chocolate-brown grain weathers to a distinguished silver-grey patina if left natural, or maintains its depth indefinitely with periodic oiling. Privacy slat spacing of 5-10 mm gaps filters light while blocking direct sightlines, creating seclusion without the visual bulk of solid panels.

Cost benchmark: an IPE horizontal slat fence with treated pine or aluminium posts costs approximately 250-400 € per linear meter including installation (excluding IVA). For a typical 40-meter property boundary, this represents 10,000-16,000 €. The premium is justified for seafront properties within 1 km of the coast, where salt-laden air destroys lesser materials.

Treated Pine Fences: Cost-Effective Privacy for Inland Properties

AITIM-certified treated red pine delivers reliable 20-25 year performance for fence installations in Mallorca when properly ventilated and protected from ground moisture. It is the most cost-effective natural wood option, priced at roughly 150-250 € per linear meter including installation (excluding IVA) for a horizontal slat design.

The critical design factor for pine fences is elevation. We never install pine posts directly into soil — ground moisture and termite risk make this a guaranteed failure within 5-7 years. Instead, we use concrete foundations with post sleeves or ground-screw systems that elevate wood bases above soil contact. The lower 15-20 cm of the post is aluminium or concrete, with the pine section beginning above ground level.

Aesthetically, treated pine delivers a warm honey tone that lightens beautifully over time. It pairs naturally with treated pine terraces for a unified Scandinavian-inspired look. For inland properties in Santa Maria, Alaró, or Binissalem — where salt air is minimal and the climate is drier — treated pine fences perform excellently and represent outstanding value.

Qualicoat Aluminium Fences: Contemporary Design and Maximum Corrosion Resistance

For clients who prefer a contemporary aesthetic or need maximum corrosion resistance within 500 meters of the sea, Qualicoat-certified lacquered aluminium fences are the technical choice. Unlike standard aluminium, Qualicoat material undergoes rigorous pre-treatment, powder coating, and curing that delivers a 15-year coating guarantee even in Mallorca’s salt-heavy coastal atmosphere.

Aluminium fence systems cost 200-350 € per linear meter including installation (excluding IVA) — comparable to IPE wood but with radically lower maintenance. Annual washing with mild soap is the only care required. There is no oiling, no sanding, no rot risk, and no insect vulnerability. The aesthetic is deliberately clean: uniform surfaces, precise edges, and a technical precision that complements modern architecture.

Many of our most striking projects combine aluminium posts with IPE infill panels — delivering the warmth of wood where you see it and the corrosion resistance of aluminium where it matters structurally. This hybrid approach has become our default recommendation for coastal properties in Port d’Andratx, Illetes, and Bendinat.

Wind Engineering: How We Build Fences That Survive the Tramuntana

Mallorca’s Tramuntana winds are not a minor consideration — they are a structural engineering requirement. A poorly engineered fence becomes a projectile hazard at 80 km/h gusts. Our fence designs incorporate three wind-resistance principles.

First, permeability. Solid panel fences act as sails and experience enormous wind load. Our slatted designs with 5-10 mm gaps allow approximately 15-20% air permeability, reducing wind pressure by 60-70% compared to solid barriers while maintaining visual privacy.

Second, post depth and foundation. We use minimum 80 cm concrete foundations for freestanding fences, with post embedment depths of 60-80 cm depending on fence height and exposure. For exposed hillside properties in Deia, Soller, and Valldemossa, we increase foundation depth by 20%.

Third, material flexibility. Wood has natural flex under wind load — it bends and returns to shape. Rigid materials like glass or solid composite panels can crack or fail at connection points. Our IPE and pine slat designs flex with the wind rather than fighting it.

Contact us for a free site consultation. We assess your property’s wind exposure, soil conditions, and privacy requirements to design a fence that performs beautifully for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a fence cost per linear meter in Mallorca?

Costs vary by material and site conditions. Treated pine fences start at approximately 150-250 € per linear meter. IPE hardwood fences range from 250-400 € per linear meter. Aluminium fences cost 200-350 € per linear meter. All prices exclude IVA. We provide detailed, itemized quotes after a free site visit.

Which fence material is best for coastal properties?

For properties within 1 km of the sea, we recommend either IPE tropical hardwood (naturally salt-resistant) or Qualicoat-certified aluminium (maximum corrosion resistance). Treated pine can work in coastal areas but requires more frequent maintenance and elevated post foundations to avoid ground moisture.

Do I need a building permit for a fence in Mallorca?

Fences under 2 meters in height typically do not require a building permit in most Mallorca municipalities. Taller fences, boundary walls, or fences in protected areas may require approval. We handle all permit applications as part of our service and advise case-by-case during consultation.

How do I maintain a wooden fence in Mallorca’s climate?

IPE fences require washing annually and re-oiling every 3-4 years. Treated pine fences benefit from annual washing and re-oiling every 2-3 years. Both should be inspected after winter storms for loose fasteners or wind damage. We offer annual maintenance packages that cover all fence types.

The Difference Between Decoration and Design

A client who says ‘I want an outdoor kitchen’ gets a standard configuration. A client who says ‘I cook outdoors three times a week, I need storage for paella pans, and I want the prep area shaded but the grill in open air’ gets a space designed around their actual behaviour. This is the difference between decoration and design — and it is why our custom projects consistently become our clients’ favourite spaces.

At FIJI, custom work includes outdoor kitchens with integrated appliances and stone countertops, built-in seating with hidden storage, bespoke staircases connecting terrace levels, treehouses for family properties, landscape-integrated lighting systems, and hybrid structures combining wood, aluminium, glass, and fabric. Each project is designed from the problem outward, not from a catalogue inward.

The process begins with a free site visit where we walk the space, understand how you live, assess technical constraints, and sketch preliminary concepts. Within five working days, you receive detailed drawings, material specifications, and an itemized quotation. Custom projects typically take 1-3 weeks longer than standard installations due to design refinement and specialized fabrication.

Outdoor Kitchens: The Heart of Mediterranean Entertaining

The outdoor kitchen is the most requested custom element in our Mallorca projects — and for good reason. Mallorca’s climate supports outdoor dining for 8-9 months of the year, and a well-designed kitchen transforms casual grilling into genuine culinary theatre.

Our outdoor kitchen designs integrate stone or Dekton countertops, stainless steel appliances, concealed plumbing and gas lines, and weather-resistant cabinetry. The critical design principle is zoning: prep area under shade, grill in open air for smoke dispersion, and a serving counter that faces the dining zone so the cook remains part of the conversation.

Material choices matter enormously. Countertops must withstand thermal shock — hot pans placed directly on stone, ice buckets on the same surface. We use 30 mm thick granite or Dekton for maximum durability. Cabinetry frames are aluminium with marine-grade hardware; door fronts can be IPE, aluminium, or weather-resistant composite in your preferred finish.

Cost starts at approximately 8,000 € for a compact L-shaped kitchen with grill, sink, and storage. Full U-shaped configurations with integrated refrigerators, wine storage, and pizza ovens reach 25,000-35,000 €. Every design is unique — contact us for a personalized quote after a site visit.

Built-In Seating, Planters, and Staircases: The Details That Define a Space

The most memorable outdoor spaces are defined by details that appear effortless but require enormous precision to execute. A built-in bench that follows the exact curve of a terrace edge. A planter integrated into the decking structure at precisely the right height for tending herbs. A staircase with IPE treads and concealed LED lighting that transforms from functional to magical at dusk.

Built-in seating with hidden storage is one of our most practical custom elements. The bench structure is treated pine or aluminium framing with IPE cladding. Lift-top seats reveal weatherproof storage for cushions, pool toys, and garden tools — eliminating the visual clutter of outdoor storage boxes. Costs range from 2,000-5,000 € depending on length and complexity.

Integrated planters require careful drainage design. Each planter connects to the terrace’s overall drainage system, with perforated bases and gravel layers preventing waterlogging. We design planter depths for specific plant types: 25 cm for herbs and Mediterranean ground cover, 40 cm for shrubs and dwarf citrus, 60+ cm for small trees.

Bespoke staircases between terrace levels are engineered for both safety and beauty. Wide IPE treads (minimum 120 cm) with integrated LED strip lighting and brushed stainless steel handrails. Each staircase is a custom fabrication requiring precise measurement and workshop pre-cutting. Costs range from 4,000-8,000 € depending on width, height, and material choice.

Landscape Lighting: Designing Atmosphere After Dark

Lighting is the most underestimated element in outdoor design — and the one that most dramatically extends how you use your space. A well-lit terrace transforms from a daytime-only area into an evening destination. The key principle is layering light at three heights rather than flooding the space from a single source.

Ground-level lighting: recessed LED path lights along walkways, uplights beneath statement plants, and subtle strip lighting along deck edges. These define circulation and create visual depth.

Mid-level lighting: wall-mounted fixtures, post lights on fence columns, and pendant lights suspended from pergola beams. These provide functional illumination for dining and conversation areas.

Overhead lighting: string lights woven through pergola slats, recessed downlights in solid pergola roofs, and subtle moonlighting from tree-mounted fixtures. These create ambient atmosphere without harsh glare.

All our lighting systems use warm white LEDs (2700-3000K) that complement wood tones rather than the cold blue of higher colour temperatures. Integrated systems connect to smart home controls, allowing scene programming — ‘dining’, ‘relaxing’, ‘entertaining’ — with a single touch. A complete lighting design for a 50 m² terrace costs 3,000-6,000 € including fixtures, wiring, and control systems.

Treehouses and Family Projects: Outdoor Spaces for Every Generation

For family properties in Esporles, Valldemossa, and Soller, custom treehouses and play structures are among our most rewarding projects. These are not prefabricated climbing frames — they are bespoke architectural elements designed to match your property’s aesthetic while providing genuine adventure for children.

Our treehouse designs use IPE platforms and railings for longevity, with treated pine structural elements where strength and cost efficiency matter. Safety is paramount: all railings meet EN 1176 playground standards, platforms are minimum 1.5 meters above ground with soft-fall surfacing beneath, and access is via rope ladders, climbing walls, or enclosed staircases depending on children’s ages.

Design integration is critical. A treehouse should look like it belongs in your garden, not like a temporary toy. We match wood tones with existing terraces, design rooflines that complement nearby structures, and integrate planters or green roofs that soften the visual impact. The result is a play structure that enhances rather than compromises your landscape design.

Custom family projects extend beyond treehouses: outdoor cinema screens with concealed projection housing, bocce courts with IPE borders, yoga platforms with integrated shade sails, and outdoor showers with stone walls and copper fixtures. Every project begins with the same question: what do you want to do outdoors that you cannot do today?

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a custom outdoor project cost in Mallorca?

Costs vary widely depending on scope and complexity. Outdoor kitchens start at 8,000 €. Built-in seating with storage ranges from 2,000-5,000 €. Bespoke staircases cost 4,000-8,000 €. Complete lighting designs for a 50 m² terrace run 3,000-6,000 €. We provide detailed, itemized quotes after a free site visit and design consultation.

How long does a custom project take to complete?

Custom projects typically take 1-3 weeks longer than standard installations due to design refinement and specialized fabrication. A typical timeline: 1 week consultation, 2-3 weeks design and approvals, 2-4 weeks fabrication, and 1-3 weeks installation. Complex projects with multiple custom elements may take 8-12 weeks total.

Can you design custom elements that match my existing terrace?

Absolutely. We source wood from the same batches whenever possible to ensure grain and colour harmony. For aluminium elements, we match the existing RAL colour. Every custom project is designed as a seamless extension of your current outdoor space, not an addition that competes with it.

Do custom projects require building permits in Mallorca?

It depends on the scope. Outdoor kitchens and built-in structures typically require a licencia de obra menor. Treehouses and play structures may need approval depending on height and location. We handle all permit applications as part of our service and advise case-by-case during the design phase.
