The wooden sun deck catches the eye first, running tight along the rectangular swimming pool before turning toward the poolhouse. Between the beige-grey terrace tiles and the dark waterline, the composition stays calm and direct. Glass panels open the structure to the garden, while vertical timber slats give the poolhouse a strong edge. It is a custom poolhouse with swimming pool setup, but the pieces read more like a single outdoor room than separate parts.

Wood and glass set the tone

The poolhouse is built as a compact volume of timber and glazing, with a deep overhang that shades the terrace. Ayous wood is used on the project, and the vertical cladding lines continue across the side surfaces, giving the shell a clear rhythm. Black frame accents break the timber surface at the doors and corners. Seen from the terrace, the building feels open where it needs to be and closed where privacy matters.

Inside the glazed walls, the timber finish continues in a warmer register. A wellness-like interior is visible from outside, with horizontal wooden benches and long light lines at the ceiling. The view through the glass changes the mood of the building without turning it into a display piece. It remains part of the outdoor sequence, but one that offers a different pace from the pool edge and the stone paving.

The rectangular swimming pool beside the terrace

The rectangular swimming pool measures 10.0 by 4.1 metres and sits neatly against the terrace line. Its colour, Stunning Grey, keeps the water surface muted rather than bright. That choice works well with the surrounding stone, which shifts between beige and grey depending on the light. The pool type is listed as Nova 100, and the straight edges reinforce the disciplined layout of the whole garden composition.

From above, the pool reads as the central axis of the project. The water sits between the lawn, the paved terrace and the timber deck, with each zone marked by a different surface. There is no excess planting around the basin itself; instead, the edges stay clean so the shape remains legible. The result is a clear outdoor frame where the poolhouse and the pool depend on each other visually.

Outdoor kitchen and sun deck as part of the daily route

The outdoor kitchen is not treated as a separate annex but as part of the same outdoor living setup. In the drone view, it sits within the broader composition of terrace, pool and poolhouse, close enough to support the activities around the water. The project text mentions the outdoor kitchen alongside the sun deck, and the photos show that relationship clearly: a working edge, a resting edge and a circulation path all unfold within a limited footprint.

The wooden sun deck softens the transition between stone paving and water. In side view, a raised timber platform appears next to the pool, and a hot tub is placed on that level in one of the images. The deck changes the way the garden is used. It gives the pool edge a more intimate zone, while the stone terrace keeps the larger circulation open. This contrast of levels is one of the most readable parts of the project.

A terrace made for movement, not decoration

The terrace surface is detailed in beige and grey natural stone tiles, laid in a strict grid that keeps the outdoor space visually steady. There is enough room for seating, movement and the passage between poolhouse and pool, but the paving never tries to disappear into the background. It stays visible. That matters here, because the project depends on the shift from mineral surfaces to wood and glass. The eye can follow each change without losing the plan of the garden.

Privacy planting closes the edges

High planting and screening sit at the perimeter, reducing views from outside and sharpening the outline of the pool zone. A hedge and fence line appear in the garden shots, while lawn opens up around the basin. The planting does not crowd the architecture; it frames it. From a distance, the timber building, the dark glazing and the rectangular water surface stand out against a quieter green background.

The overhang and roof edge give the poolhouse a low horizontal profile, while the wood lining under the soffit adds another layer of texture. One detail image shows the underside of the roof with wooden boards arranged in a distinct pattern, bordered by a darker trim. These details matter because they explain how the volume sits in the garden. The building is compact, but the overhang extends its presence across the terrace.

What the photographs reveal up close

The image set moves from overview to detail without changing the story. One frame shows the glazed side of the poolhouse with the pool in the foreground and the sun deck running beside it. Another focuses on the black door frame and the vertical timber slats, where the joinery becomes the main subject. A third image opens the interior further, showing the wooden benches and the linear lighting that runs along the ceiling line.

There is also a side view with a hot tub on the raised timber deck, which adds another layer to the wellness area visible through the project. It is not presented as a separate spa pavilion; it sits within the same outdoor arrangement as the poolhouse, the pool and the terrace. That makes the whole setting easier to read. Each element has its own surface and function, but the route between them stays short and direct.

Dimensions and project data

The poolhouse measures 9.2 by 3.6 metres and is described in the project text with the ROHE design style. The wood type is Ayous. The swimming pool measures 10.0 by 4.1 metres and is specified as a Nova 100 in Stunning Grey. These details keep the project grounded. They show that the composition is not just a visual arrangement, but a carefully sized outdoor setting where the proportions of timber volume, pool basin and terrace each have their own role.

Viewed as a whole, the project works through clear edges, limited materials and a strong relation between shelter and open water. The wellness area visible behind the glazing, the garden design around the perimeter and the clean line of the terrace all contribute to that reading. Nothing is overstated. The appeal lies in the way the poolhouse with swimming pool holds the garden together without filling it up.
