(NOT JUST A) POOLHOUSE
Program: Pool House + Guest Suite + Office + Meeting Space
Location: North Hollywood
Phase: Under Construction
(NOT JUST A) POOLHOUSE serves multiple use-cases in a minimal footprint: from an office and meeting room for professional creatives, to potential living quarters for an au-pair and visiting family. The pool house’s leisurely vernacular speaks from a rigorous syntax, leveraging efficient space planning and careful consideration of views and openings in order to facilitate a range of spaces within the public-to-private spectrum, all within 450 SF.
