Goals
- Create a Pool House that could serve as a guest house and a delightful spot for summer dinners and events.
Challenges
- Work within the footprint and height established by an old ice barn originally on the site.
- Integrate the building into the lush New England landscape.
Design Response
- Designed a simple and iconic form, using windows and doors to establish formal lines and shapes, rather than simply cut openings.
- Integrated every detail, from bead-and-board panels to brackets for candle sconces.
- Projected a tall bay window on the façade facing the meadow, fitted with a window seat to capture views and provide a restful place to sit.
- Designed exterior spaces, including a spacious shower/changing room.
