The Upstate Pool House is a private retreat on a 200 acre property, adjacent to a small swimming pond. It is conceived as a series of volumes around a central pool. Each volume contains a different program for guests staying on the property - a bedroom in one, kitchen/living/dining area in another, and a study in the last. The simple materials draw from the existing main house and property - with simple weather wood siding and bluestone quarried from the area. The large doors connect the interior of all the spaces to the natural surroundings but allows the each volume to be closed down and protected in the winters.
