Planning and construction

Terrace construction in Mallorca

A terrace in Mallorca has to take more than one in central Europe: 40 degrees in summer, heavy rain in autumn, salt near the coast. Anything that ignores that looks ten years old after three.

Fall and drainage first

Before material is discussed, it must be clear where the water goes. Standing water is the most common cause of damage to surface and joint.

Material to suit the position

Pale natural stone stays walkable when dark porcelain can no longer be crossed barefoot in August. We choose by use, not by catalogue.

Transitions that work

Thresholds to the house, the join to the pool, edges to the garden. These are the points that decide whether a terrace was built or designed.

Kept informed during the work

You hear how far along we are, even when you are not on the island. With progress photos if you wish.

We plan terrace projects together with our master tiler. The before/after of the outdoor shower on the homepage shows what that looks like.
