Stowe Pool House
The design of this little structure provides an open invitation to relax by the pool while highlighting the surrounding landscape and beautiful mountain vista. With its linear three-component organization, it offers shaded poolside dining anchored by a board formed concrete fireplace, an enclosed “copper-box” guesthouse, and culminates in the seclusion of an exterior shower. The building provides a visual edge and a functional screen the entire length of the pool along the driveway side. Within this divide, along the western end of the structure, an extraordinarily large opening provides a viewing portal through the building, over the pool and to the panorama beyond. Our intention was to enhance and highlight the beauty of the site through understated Architectural elements and landscape.
