Project Description
A site with an existing pool, difficult terrain and challenging setback conditions but with sweeping Bay views made for a daunting design problem. Alfonso & Harmon Architects responded with a contemporary retreat that converts this difficult corner of the property into its prime destination. The interior features a radiant-heated concrete floor, cedar beams, and floor-to-ceiling aluminum windows to capture the dramatic views. Ten feet tall sliding glass doors open effortlessly and pocket into the wall for a seamless flow from interior to exterior. A large cedar deck with a stainless steel cable railing wraps around the Pool House. The Pool House establishes an exciting new contemporary aesthetic for the soon-to-be-remodeled Main House.
