Winter,
spring, summer, and fall: nature is a four-season
phenomenon, so it’s only natural that the conservatory,
the place best suited to celebrate its daily bounty,
also be a year round structure.

CUSTOM POOL HOUSE CONSERVATORY |
| |
 |
|
T
his custom pool house conservatory is a freestanding
building with a built-in spa inside. The two-tone
color scheme was coordinated with the red brick
and mortar of the main house.
Ochre woodwork matches the cast
stone urns, the capitals on the brick piers and
the trim on the house itself. The heavily-tinted
roof glass, which from the outside seems almost
opaque, echoes the dark shingles on the main house
and blocks most of the sun's heat. From the inside,
the tint is barely apparent but substantial enough
so that no air conditioning is required - even in
the summer. One of the challenges of the design
was to incorporate changing rooms, bathroom facilities
and a small kitchenette within this custom conservatory
structure.

how we do our work is what matters most - and
we believe it will matter most to you. Imagine
spending time inside this garden room spa. What
would you ponder as you soak your cares away?

The
cleverly designed solution calls for a "separate" but
attached brick extension to the back of this custom
pool house conservatory. The barely noticeable addition
has a low-slope roof so as not to interfere with
the custom conservatory and on the inside, features
a brick arched-opening from the main spa room that
carries the Palladian arch theme inside.

quarry tile floor is set on a diagonal to emphasize
the round spa that is centered in the room and looks
out onto the pool. At only 345 square foot,
this beautifully detailed cabana embodies functional

multiplicity.
French doors under the side gable open directly to
the first floor master bedroom so discreet access from
the house is direct. On center with the adjacent swimming
pool, it provides a visual "anchor", and it divides
the yard into "Pool" space and separates it from a
groomed putting green on the other side. |
