Set within the grounds of a grade 2 listed house, this high-end residential project includes two new swimming pools, a tennis court, and a complex of minimalist outbuildings for a private client.
The main poolroom is accommodated beneath a 6-metre long cantilevered roof that overlooks the main swimming pool. Enclosed with structural frameless glazing on three sides, the building envelope is diminished, the interior treated as one with the surrounding landscape.
The pavilion is flanked by stone-clad changing, store and plant areas, unified by a linear butterfly roof and naturally lit from frameless clerestory glazing above. Portland stone is used extensively as the basis of the design, contrasted by the darkly stained hardwood boardwalk feature that extends along the pool and into the natural landscape to form a jetty.
