A conversion of an existing garage into a contemporary pool house to create the perfect environment for pool parties with open bar and lounge area.

Garage Conversion into Pool House
Background
Fingerprintstudios Architects where approached to review the existing single port garage to see how it could be converted into a habitable pool house that could be used in the English summer months for pool parties as well as allowing guests to stay and visit in an enclosed annex.
The existing garage was typical of its age and a clever review of space saving features was undertaken to maximise the flexibility of the pool house.

Philosophy
A complete upgrade and overhaul of the garage into a contemporary pool house was designed to meet modern standards with all the comforts that modern technology can bring.
The modernising of the garage creates a functional layout that maximises the space in both plan and section. The pool plant is carefully positioned for ease of access without causing disruption to the interior.
Modern materials combined with a new roof and dormer to bring in light creates this striking architecture addition to the garden and supports the existing pool house.

Solution
Internal lining of the existing single skin walls with insulation and the exterior cladding, enables a thermally efficient exterior. The interior uses space saving solutions such as pocket doors and bespoke joinery to maximise the height in the pool house for storage. This creates space for a working kitchen or bar and an enclosed shower and toilet room. This enables a large open plan area for those summer garden pool parties.
The Garage Conversion into Pool House provides that perfect addition for garden pool parties.
