pool house

retreat on the rock

pool house is a hideaway for a dedicated swimmer at a falling coastline. 


two intersecting volumes offer an evocative place for active recreation with spectacular views.

a 35m long pool combines the ex- with interior spaces- sliding facade panels enable their thermal separation. angled sections cut the two crossing volumes into dynamic shapes with generous openings.

a lounge area, sauna and three guest rooms are located on the ground floor close to the pool and terrace area. the entrance, living, dining, cooking facilities and the master bedroom are arranged one level up.

 

the combination of rough materials like natural stone and concrete together with wood and water surfaces transform the pool house into a retreat close to nature.
