Orchard House

A leisure space that enhances existing features and creates a talking point. Our clients came to us with an open brief to design a pool house to accommodate existing landscaping plans. They had aspirations for an open-plan entertainment space that maximised clear open views over the pool area. The pool house was to be located centrally and aligned to the main house’s orangery. The clients wanted a natural material palette, clear open volumes, and glazed elevations with clean and contemporary detailing. Flexibility was essential for the clients as they would like to use the pool house throughout the year. They wanted the pool house to provide an inside-outside feel. Our approach achieves the client’s stated aspiration for natural materials and a built feature that is eye-catching but not incongruous in its surroundings. This project has been out to tender and work has commenced on site.
