— 1 —Pool House Conservatory Retreat
THIS POOLSIDE CONSERVATORY RETREAT was commissioned by its owners who wanted facilities next to their pool which was set amid their mature formal garden away from the house. A glass conservatory seemed a perfect solution – a sculptural yet functional design element that would fit well with the surrounding fountains, statuary and urns. A stylish freestanding glass room at the edge of the landscape as well as a backdrop for the adjacent terrace would certainly be a sought after venue.
The architect had chosen a site at the far end of the pool where this custom glass conservatory would have access from a lower driveway. The conservatory was planned to sit atop a full suite of exercise rooms, sauna and showers and be connected to the lower level by an interior spiral staircase. The architect had sketched an elegant concept for the conservatory which was forwarded to Tanglewood for refinement.
Keeping close to his original scheme, the conservatory design was sensitively adjusted paying close attention to the details, the proportions and the functionality of the new construction. Since the new glass conservatory was not connected to the main house, exact details were not directly incorporated but their architectural relationship was closely scrutinized. Inside, the decor conveys a casual elegance with simple white cotton-draped furnishings, patterned pillows, and an old Country French coffee table. A reading table with primitive-looking chairs made from bent tree limbs was included in the collection.
The room, which is frequently used by its owners and their many guests, is hailed as the most inviting on the property.
ON A LATE SUMMER’S AFTERNOON, THIS COMFORTABLE POOLSIDE CONSERVATORY BECKONS GUESTS WITH THE PROMISE OF A REFRESHING DIP, AN ICED DRINK AND A MAGNIFICENT SUNSET. WHEN IT RAINS, IT BECOMES A QUIET AND INTROSPECTIVE RETREAT.
