POOL PARTY: Joseph Richardson’s contemporary hardscape plan includes a square spa next to the pool, as well as a fire feature.
McLean homeowners with three daughters who swim competitively wanted to create an outdoor oasis complete with a pool and space where they could gather and entertain. A longtime friend of the family, Michael Winn of Winn Design + Build introduced the owners to landscape architect Joseph Richardson. He began a contemporary-style hardscape plan for the property and, together with the owners, discussed adding a pool house to the project. Winn Design + Build came in for the pool house design and build.
Winn and project architect Jimmy Finn got to work, conceiving and building a modern, 500-square-foot pool house that would complement the hardscape. The structure features a powder room, a board-formed concrete fireplace and radiant-heat flooring. Smart lighting controls and integrated audio and video systems, along with a beverage fridge, ice machine and grilling station, make entertaining a breeze.
