Pool Houses

A Pool House: You will wonder how you ever got along without it!

A swimming pool with a complementing pool house is one of those exquisite pleasures. Just ask the person who has both. A pool house makes a pool more rewarding. It's that simple!

Appearance Alone Impresses

One of the prime reasons to own a swimming pool, although pool owners will not always admit it, is aesthetics. The yard, the garden, or that special enclave where you place your swimming pool helps create an environment most Americans covet. Now, add to this picture a structure that frames the setting and adds its own beauty to the landscape. The results are incredibly stunning.

For That Distinctive Touch

If you are planning to have a new swimming pool built some time soon, or if you want to enhance the pleasure and extend the entertaining capabilities of the one that you already have, consider adding a pool house — that respite you have always wanted.

Functionality

A pool house not only looks good, but it also is a fantastic place to entertain if you have children, if you plan to have alfresco parties or if elegant outdoor dining is in your future. A pool house is one of those havens that will make your day, almost every day.

Adding a pool house means more than simply keeping grassy feet off the Oriental carpet. It is about having the ability to entertain elegantly outside in the afternoon or on a balmy evening under the stars. It is about convenience, just as indoor plumbing and central heating (once considered luxuries) have replaced the outhouse and the open fire. Think about not having to run inside the house to greet your guests, one by one, as they arrive.

Think about the advantages when you or one of your guests wants to grab a quick drink or use the bathroom. Even better, imagine yourself enjoying your own party, not wondering if someone is inside your house while you are outside talking with guests.

Off-Season Benefits

Ever wonder where to put chemicals when they are not in use? Ever ponder where to send the crowd of children when a quick rain shower breaks out? Ever think about reclaiming your garage or basement in the off-season by storing lawn furniture, toys and floats elsewhere? Your new pool house will be the perfect place for all of that and more. A pool house is no longer a place that is reserved for the Hollywood glamour set; it is surprisingly affordable and extremely useful.

Build Now or Add Later

Some pool builders are already offering a pool house as an option. They are small custom builders who understand what their customers are really looking for. These builders take pride in constructing a few special pools and designing them in a first class manner. But, this type of builder is still uncommon, and most homeowners who want a pool house will have to rely on the old-fashioned way: building the pool first and then complementing it with a pool house.

Buy a Set of Plans

Another approach is to spend some time looking at a pool house catalog to understand the array of choices that are available to you. In addition to changing rooms and bathrooms, you will discover innovative plans that include handy serving windows, entertainment areas and lots of poolside storage space.

Our book displays 50 different designs, ranging from a pool house that looks like a conservatory to one that resembles a southwestern villa. If you find a pool house design that intrigues you, it is easy to order a set of building plans so that you can have them available to show your builder.

Even if you are planning to hire a professional, it is a good idea to be aware of the many and varied choices so that you can work more effectively with your builder or architect.
