Classic 60?s Ranch Style Home Gets a Vivacious Contemporary Pool House
Giving a classic home a modern extension is a trend that is catching on across the globe and with contemporary makeovers the attempt is to always preserve the old and enhance it while adding modern ergonomics. The Los Altos Pool House takes a similar approach but with far more rigid constraints as the homeowners wanted to leave the ranch style structure of the original residence built in 1966 completely untouched. Enter Framestudio, who turned to a smart rear addition to get the job done. The new pool house with a lovely pool and gym area feels completely different in its ambiance from the original residence.Glass walls bring ample natural light into the pool house during daytimeYet, the cedar exterior of the pool house links it ever so slightly with the original residence and its neutral hue. The weathered cedar layer on the outside gives the polished pool house a warmer, more inviting look. Skylights and large, floor-to-ceiling glass walls and doors usher in ample natural light even as cedar rainscreens protect the pool area from harsh sunlight in summer months. Exquisite and borrowing extensively from hotel-inspired aesthetics, this pool house in California is an absolute showstopper!
