Spring Lane Cabana

The client for this modestly sized pool cabana was interested in creating a dialogue between their existing Victorian house and a more contemporary composition of landscape elements in their rear yard. The cabana anchors a sun-dappled corner of a deep landscaped garden, providing a shaded refuge from the sun, and is equipped with a full service kitchenette, WC, and laundry facility. The two walls facing the pool and garden are fully glazed with Arcadia multi-paneled sliding doors which retreat into cedar-clad pocket walls, dissolving the boundary between outside and in. The cedar siding turns up to become a slatted shade overhang, and then turns down again to form a slatted privacy wall, discreetly tucking an exterior shower behind it. The exterior shell is clad with painted fiber cement boards in a rainscreen assembly, to shed water away from the structure.
