Modernist Oasis - Pool House

Nestled in the Comox Valley British Columbia, a modernist gem inspired by the legendary Richard Neutra has emerged, bringing the essence of Palm Springs to your own backyard. This project embodies the notion that a vacation can be experienced just steps away from home. With its sleek design and luxurious amenities, this 600 sq. ft. pool house offers an unparalleled blend of entertainment and relaxation.

The first thing that catches your eye is the impressive folding doors that seamlessly connect the interior to the outdoor kitchen and the inviting pool area. Whether hosting lively gatherings or unwinding with family and friends, this space effortlessly caters to your desires.

The compact footprint of 600 sq. ft. doesn't compromise on comfort. Within this modest space, you'll find a thoughtfully designed bathroom, a versatile changing room that doubles as a spare bedroom, a chic lounge area, and a pool mechanical room.

The landscaped yard offers ample room for games and events while preserving an intimate ambiance. As the sun sets, the magic truly unfolds, with the gas fireplace and artful landscape lighting creating an enchanting atmosphere, perfect for late-night conversations and stargazing.

A steel moment frame provides structural integrity and supports the expansive covered patio roof, making it not only a striking visual element but also a symbol of durability. The exterior boasts a smooth stucco finish, elevating the aesthetics of the pool house, while marble and walnut accents add a touch of sophistication and warmth to the design.
