POOLHOUSE

Poolhouse is a part of a larger complex of recreational buildings. The location of it was chosen slightly away from the rest of the complex, in the central part of a hilly valley near an existing basin. The location of the site partly dictates the architectural expression - the triangular building responds to all the natural views around it. The main element of this house - the heavy archetypal roof which contrasts with the shop windows. The transparency of the windows around the entire perimeter creates the impression of the roof hanging in the air. The structure supporting the roof is made up of three wooden columns, which are not only load-bearing, but also serve as interior details. From the inside of the poolhouse wooden roof comes into notice. With a skylight in the center it provides additional natural light. The movement inside happens around three elements - the fireplace, the kitchen island and the central volume of the utility rooms, leaving the perimeter of the building completely free. Large windows and a relaxing interior allow the building and its surroundings to be enjoyed throughout all seasons.
