The Pool House

The Pool House is a small, finely crafted pavilion designed to transform an under‑used corner of the site into a place for wellbeing, exercise and quiet connection to nature. Conceived as a site‑responsive retreat, the building opens to the garden and sky, creating a calm space that supports daily rituals and enhances the experience of the landscape. Rather than expanding the main house, the project makes purposeful use of land that previously had little functional value. The compact structure minimises additional site impact while providing a generous sense of openness through framed views, natural ventilation and a strong relationship to planting and outdoor circulation. An integrated photovoltaic system generates power for the pool equipment, reducing operational energy demand and supporting the project’s long‑term sustainability goals. Durable materials and simple detailing ensure longevity and low maintenance, allowing the pavilion to sit quietly within the garden over time. The result is a modest but highly considered project that demonstrates a broader understanding of sustainable design — one that values wellbeing, landscape connection, resource efficiency and thoughtful use of place.
