Pool Garden + Forest Pavilion

“At Home By the Pool”

Can an accessory service building be more than just a structure? We developed a low pavilion to act as a support structure for a new swimming pool and garden; at the same time, the structure frames the yard and pool, becoming a kinetic backdrop for outdoor social activity. The building creates its own energy through a roof-mounted PV array while providing shaded social space on an ipe pool deck; Behind cedar-clad walls, it conceals pool mechanical equipment, storage, a bathroom, outdoor shower, and an outdoor kitchen.
