Respecting the Heritage and National Trust listed red brick building, this pool and pool house development uses traditional materials, pointed brickwork and painted solid timber, to create a modernist installation in the rear, grassed garden. The finished product is a low-lying sculptural juxtaposition of traditional and modern building forms. Although simple and beautiful, the project is used by a large family of young children and thus is tough, practical and maintenance friendly.
The result is a testament to the precision and patience of the builders and to the willingness of our clients.
