POST AND BEAM POOL HOUSE
In an effort to blend function and beauty, the Client requested a covered lap pool engulfed in daylight with clear sites to the surrounding private foliage. Nestled into a wooded site in Westford, MA, the lap pool provides a serene experience with views of nature on three sides. The post and beam structure lends the feeling that the pool house grew among the trees while providing a simple structural solution for the length and width needed for this open design. The new structure has a connecting element that allows one to pass from the existing living room space into this indoor oasis. The tongue and groove finished ceiling is uplit to illuminate in a warm glow complimented by the exposed Douglas fir timber beams. The pool house is complemented by an indoor sauna, a pass-through shower, and a deck with direct connection to the backyard.
