Pool House with Sauna and Garden Bar in Surrey

This building had several bespoke considerations, all of which we worked with the client to design.

The 7x4.1m poolside room is split into four separate rooms: the main poolside room, a bar with double-bifold doors open on two aspects to the garden and pool, an L-shaped changing facility incorporating sauna and separate WC, and standalone rear section designated as the plant room, incorporating all of the necessary equipment to run the pool. An air source heat pump was installed beyond the building and connected to the plant room.

Other, custom-built features of this garden building include:

Direct access door to the WC and changing space from the pool and garden, meaning the bar room could be kept dry

Large, sliding door to separate the bar area and rear areas, if required.

The design and layout had to consider the already-installed concrete base, plumbing and power and so we worked alongside a pool plant expert, local electrician and kitchen company to create and orient the space effectively to make best use of the pre-existing elements.

To supplement the statement bifold doors facing two sides, a roof light was added as a focal centrepiece to the main room area. To finish the external area, decking was added as both a design statement and to cover areas of the existing concrete base which were not sat beneath the building.
