A Georgia Pool House Swims in Luxurious Features
Sure, there's a place for lounging. But this pool house also sports a chandelier, a putting green and an exercise room
The list of requirements for this pool house included an exercise space, a kitchen, room for lounging and plenty of entertainment for the active Georgia family who uses it. Designer Beth Weltlich, architect Cynthia Karegeannes and contractor Clark Harris put their heads together to create a beautiful and successful multipurpose retreat. A contemporary interior, durable materials and luxurious additions — including a putting green and an outdoor kitchen — turned this 1,244-square-foot space into a dream backyard haven.
Installing the stunning cedar beams and ceiling was a big job, and one of contractor Clark Harris' favorite parts of the project.
The chic and classic pieces in this pool house mix materials, styles and price ranges.

A galley kitchen made sense for a space where the clients want to have drinks and snacks at hand but no one will need to cook a five-course meal.

For continuity, the kitchen and the bathroom share the same backsplash. Durable quartz countertops make sense for a room that sees a lot of use. Harris chose windows with seeded glass for private areas that still needed extra light.
