Garden poolhouse

Following successful completion of the new house which Dwell conceived and oversaw from concept to completion, our clients invited the practice back to add a swimming pool and poolhouse complex.

Dwell re-worked the clients’ initial concept design, reorientating the swimming pool to align with the feature three-storey rear glazed bays, in order to present the full length of the pool to the house, for enhanced visibility of the children from all areas both indoors and out.

A unique poolhouse anchored on the same geometry provides plant room, changing and showering, and inflatables storage, as well as a covered chill-out teenager lounge (with visual oversight from the kitchen) and gym with golf swing studio.

Building close to existing trees and not wishing to compromise the beautiful established garden, the building was conceived to be a lightweight construction bearing onto micro piles, which can be placed to avoid the tree root system.
