Guest house or pool house? Why not both!
The attention to detail in this pool house design is the focus of any garden party. A floor-to-ceiling wall of glass opens like a curtain to reveal a multi-functional two-story living room that doubles as a guest house and poolside cabana. Therefore, it is important to equip it with the essentials: a fully equipped kitchen, an upstairs bedroom, a bathroom and a living room with a TV. We definitely wouldn’t mind staying here for a few days this summer!
Four-season winter with one-lane slide
indoor waterfall anyone? This impressive indoor pool area offers the perfect place to relax all year round, even in the middle of a snowy winter. A weather-controlled, single-track sliding glass wall protects the interior from harsh temperatures without compromising views of the changing landscape or ease of use. Better yet, individual panels can be placed in a variety of configurations, moved around corners and slid into distant piles that are not flush with the opening. How do you customize yours?
