Always with feet in the water
Udo2020-11-29T12:09:25+00:00Always with feet in the water, this is the life of many aquatic plants. And always with their head in the air, where is a lot of oxygen and carbon dioxide, which plants need.

Swimming pond in granite
Udo2020-10-31T15:35:22+00:00Extraordinary sites need extraordinary solutions. For this biological pool the client dreamed of framing it in a certain position with the house to be visible from living room and terrace and to be aligned with the best view it has.

Contemplation
Udo2020-09-29T19:34:53+01:00Silent lakes give off an air of tranquility and peace. It is not by coincidence that many biological pools for tourist use offer contemplative spaces close to water. Many of the facilities have, like the one in the photo, playing or meditation platforms, outdoor activities that use the contemplative scenery offered by the water [...]
Circular Economy
Udo2020-09-29T19:22:25+01:00All the materials used in the construction of biological pools must meet the requirements of Circular Economy, this is our great challenge for the coming years. The objective is to eliminate waste and continuous consumption of resources. Circular systems employ reuse, sharing, repair, renovation, remanufacturing and recycling to create a closed-loop system, minimizing the [...]
Rare dragonfly
Udo2020-09-29T18:39:35+01:00Welcome to Portugal could be said to this new species of dragonfly who is entering Portuguese territory from Spain. It is not an introduction because the insects come by their own. Scientists call it Trithemis kirbyi. About two decades ago, the dragonfly began to occupy the neighboring country Spain from North Africa where it [...]

Kingfisher
Udo2020-08-30T17:41:09+01:00September is the month when water is most lacking in nature. The lakes and dams have a very low level, even some are already dry, and in the streams there is little water left. This is the time when the kingfisher starts to appear next to the biological pools. Since he finds a place [...]
