Fairview Pool House
Our clients approached us with a clear goal: to enhance their existing pool area by adding a purpose-built pool house. The current setup had some limitations, particularly when it came to pool access. The only bathroom accessible from the pool was located in their existing basement, which meant tracking wet feet across carpeted areas—a less than ideal situation! To address this and other challenges, we embarked on designing a new pool house. Here are the key features we incorporated:
Versatility was essential. Beyond serving as a pool house, our clients wanted a space that could fulfill multiple functions. Through close collaboration, we developed a floor plan that included a spacious kitchen with an inviting island for entertaining, ample dining and relaxation areas, and a striking two-story fireplace as the central focal point.
Maintaining views of the outside and the pool was crucial. For the bedroom, we opted for an open and airy loft space with second-story windows, allowing natural light to flood in while remaining connected to the living area below.
We leveraged the pool house’s roofline as a unique architectural feature. By exposing the interior beams and trusses, we added character and visual interest. Additionally, we carefully selected a water-resistant flooring material that could withstand exposure to pool water and was easy to clean. No more soggy carpets or water damage!
Lastly, practicality played a significant role. We dedicated space behind the bathroom and kitchen for extra storage, accommodating lawn mowers, pool equipment, and garden tools. To soften the pool house’s exterior, we showcased an overhead garage door, decorative awning, and window flower boxes—adding bespoke design elements that seamlessly blend with the surroundings. For the front, we incorporated a heavy timber truss to support the covered patio which also doubles as a unique design feature.
As construction progresses, we eagerly anticipate the memories our clients will create in this beautiful pool house. Stay tuned for updates!
