Country Pool House

Scroll to view

Framed by an 18 acre landmark estate, picturesque pond, and a stunning elm tree pre-dating the state of Minnesota, this Pool House was designed to fit perfectly within its idyllic setting. Sophisticated and inspiring, yet sized to allow the surrounding landscape and scenery to remain as the focal point. Three expansive ten-foot wide sliding glass doors can be pocketed out of sight to integrate true indoor and outdoor living and function at the poolside. A two-story stair hall provides a bird’s eye view of the surrounding woodlands, while the family gathering spaces turn their attention back towards the main house and grounds. The upper floor study has pastoral views worthy of an Impressionist painting.
